    Hi Abbey1 

     

    Thank you very much for working with me through private messages, I'm glad to hear after the script was applied it's now working fine for you.

Hi Clover,

Yes, the PAYG of the original payroll entry was already processed (into ATO ICA liability account) before the pay was reversed. You think that's the reason why the PAYG of the reversal transaction has "PAID' status, and as such is not included in Pay Liabilities? If so, is it possible to fix it? 

 

Seeing no other solution (after talking to MYOB support for couple of hours) I have just processed the PAYG for July in two steps:

1. entered Pay Liabilities transaction from liability account 'ATO ICA' for the incorrect amount of PAYG ($22,969), as there is no other way to edit the amount being paid;

2. to record the actual payment from bank account entered Spend Money transaction for the correct amount by splitting it between two accounts:

liability account 'ATO ICA' for the amount $22,969

expense account 'Adjustments, errors, rounding' for the amount -$28

I'm not sure if I haven't created another problem, and I'm happy to make corrections if you know how to fix the original issue.

Kind Regards,

Abbey

The way I have been correcting clients affected by this is to reverse the reversal that is affected by this bug (using the inbuilt reversal process) then recreate the intended reversal with a manual payrun rather than the inbuilt reversal process. 

 

This resets everything ready for the replacement payrun and makes sure 'pay liabilities' screen picks up the correct amounts.

    Hi Freman,

    This is AccountRight Plus 2022.7. I tried to reverse the reversal - the software doesn't allow it.

      Unless I'm getting mixed up with a different issue fix, thats a new development in this sorry saga. 

       

      I put a post up on this forum many months ago about this issue which I cannot locate anymore - MYOB have probably removed it because I did not hold back on my scathing critique of them.
