    Hi H-TS 

     

    Thanks for your post. To record this in AccountRight you will need to follow these steps:

     

    Say you processed a super payment of $1000 but it should have been $750 so you've been refunded $250:

    1. process a reversal of the pay super (-$1000 to the bank account)
    2. process the payroll adjustment (-$250 into that period paid)
    3. process a Pay Liabilities which will include that -$250, giving you a total of $750
    4. you will then have -$250 in the bank account to match to the refund

    These help articles will guide you through this process:

Thanks Tracey_H 

 

So I would be reversing and reprocessing multiple months of previous Pay Super transactions. How does that affect payroll reporting for BAS and Payroll tax that have already been lodged? I was hoping to keep all the adjusting transactions in this quarter so nothing else would be affected.

 

I processed one lump sum void entry for all the previous months. Will the process you suggested still work as the first link you provided says I'd need to do one for each affected month?

 

If I simply receipt the payment as a receive money to my Super Payable GL account, could I just ignore the negative entry in the pay super/pay liabilities screen? Can it sit there forever and not affect anything else?
