    Hi Basketball 

     

    Thanks for your post. The Payroll activity report gets it's data from pays recorded through Process Payroll. The Payroll register report gets it's data from the employee card>>Pay history. This means that if there is a difference between those two reports a manual change has been made to the employee card>>Pay history.

     

    To resolve this you will need to change the employee card>>Pay history back to what it should be, then process a $0 pay with payment date as 30 June to update STP.

     

    The post, AccountRight reports don't match STP reports, has detailed information.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

    Hi Tracey,

    Thanks for replying.

    Yesterday I actually got through to MYOB support and Kim asked me to try to go to Payroll History in the terminated employees card to see if the Sick Leave $ were there.

    It was not, so she suggested I key in the amount to what it should be (as employee left last November and there had been not entries since then).

    I made the change and the reports now line up being Payroll Activity Summary YTD = Payroll Register Summary YTD = STP Verif'n report, so happy with that.

    My quick question is - do I still need to do a zero pay for this employee for STP purposes ,when the STP verif'n report had the correct YTD figure anyway?

    Or possibly good to do before finalisation anyway to double check all in agreeance

    Thankyou, I appreciate your answer

      Hi Basketball 

       

      My apologies for the delay in getting back to you, I'm glad to hear that you were able to resolve your issue. To answer your question for future reference, processing a $0 pay just updates the YTD amounts in STP so if all reports reconcile it's not necessary. 

       

      Please don't hesitate to post again if you need help in the future.
