Thanks for your reply, Jem but I am not trying to alter the date of a recorded pay. My assistant sets up a Payrun on Mondays, Saves & Closes. I open up the saved payrun (usually the next day), check it, create an ABA file & import it to our bank account to pay the wages. Occasionally, I would prefer to do this on a Monday night, but the payment date has been entered for the following day (as instructed) & I am not able to edit the date. I can still edit employees’ hours, but not the date. At this stage the payrun has not been finalized & has not been sent to STP reporting. I cannot understand why the payment date cannot been an editable field until the payrun is finalized.
Hi litoria,
I understand on how important it is to change or edit the payrun date. However, as per the ATO requirements, pays are reported according to the payment date not pay period dates. This means that all reporting, including financial, BAS, STP, PAYG and super, will be incorrect for both financial years. To resolve this you will need to reverse and reprocess that pay run with the correct payment date.
Cheers,
Jem
