PAY DAY SGC balancing

I need to balance out a -ve entry re SGC where an employee was over paid SGC and we have withheld amounts over a 3 weekly pay cycle to balance the -ve entry. However now that the SGC balance is correct YTD we need to offset the -ve entry to balance our accounting records. when i try to do a ZERO pay super run that has 2 entries as below - I receive this error .. 

 

Is this because it cant be ZERO as the error message does not clarify this, and if this is correct what is possible workaround..we did want to get the books balanced before EOFY..but if we have to wait till next pay cycle it will after 30/6/26

    Hi,

     

    I had to process a negative amount for an employee the other day. You can’t submit the negative entry via pay super, so just untick it and send the other one if that’s the amount that you want to sent to the fund. As long as everything was processed correctly via your pay runs it doesn’t matter that the negative entry is sitting in pay super. You will no longer see it once you change the dates next time you pay your super.
