Unable to change the payment method 'pay from account' on wage transactions

Hi Celia_B 

Good Day! This is in regard to the issue that I posted last time and I would like to seek for your help and assistance. 

I've been trying to change the Pay from account from Electronic Clearing to the bank account (Cash at Bank) for some processed payroll transactions as I was informed by my client that she's not yet using the electronic payment method/ABA file (client has just started processing payroll for this account). Unfortunately, the payroll transactions are linked to electronic clearing accounts instead of actual bank account and MYOB won't allow me to change the payment method and the bank account where I can able to clear the electronic clearing account balance and also for me to reconcile the transactions. I'm trying to reverse the transaction but the error code Code: SingleTouchPayrollServiceError (100106) appears.


They said that the file must be corrupted but could you please help me fix it or please let me know how can I move the amounts from the electronic clearing account to the Bank account? Or could you please suggest how I can reconcile the transactions for the month including these wages transactions from the reconcile account tab and also to clear the electronic clearing account and transfer the balance to the Bank account?

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Thank you so much.

    If you can not edit the transaction due to the super being paid for these people it is BECAUSE you have used the pay liability window to process them and not as suggested with a spend money or general journal.

     

    The easiest way to maybe do what you want is to record an entry for each person. So for J Ormsby enter a spend money transaction dated 5/4/23, tick electronic payment , make the amount NEGATIVE $1,820.00 and allocate to the cash at bank account.

     

    Then go to prepare electronic payments, tick the negative amount and positive amount, with the pay from account being the cash at bank.  okay the warning you get regarding a negative disbursement.

     

    Click bank file and cancel out when it wants to save the file after it says it will record the transaction.

     

    You should then see the amount disappear from the prepare electronic payment screen and then it will appear in your bank rec to reconcile.

     

    Do the same for the other employees.

     

    Please let me know how you go with it.

    Hi Julie_A_C Celia_B 

    Thank you so much for your response. I believe you are right as I realized that the only transactions that I'm unable to edit are those with superannuation payable that have been paid by my client as shown below.

    However, could you please let me know how (steps) how I can delete the pay liability entries for me to able to change the payment from account for these greyed transactions shown? The only option I have is to reverse the transaction and it won't still let me edit or change the payment from account.

    Am I missing anything? Apologies for the inconvenience and appreciate your help.

    Thank you so much.

    Best Regards,
    Zhenna

    Hi DebWright 

     

    Thank you so much for getting back to us and sharing an update on the issue. I understand that this issue is far too long. sorry for the inconvenience. 

     

    I understand that you wanted to delete the pay liability entries. In this matter, If there are amounts showing on the Pay Liabilities window which have been paid, it means they may have been incorrectly paid using a Spend Money or General Journal transactions. To permanently remove this amounts, you'll need to process them through Pay Liabilities window, then record a reversing general journal transaction. 

     

    You can check on this Help Article: Removing paid amounts from the Pay Liabilities window. This contains more information and guide you on the process.

     

    We're always here to help. Don't hesitate to post again if you still need further assistance with this. 

     

    Regards, 

    Cel

    Hi Julie_A_C Celia_B 

    I really appreciate your help. I already created the spend money transaction, entered a negative account and ticked the electronic payment and allocated it to cash at bank account. However, when I opened the Prepare Electronic Payments, I realized that the Cash at Bank account is not available in the 'Pay From Account', the only one showing is the liability account as shown below. 

    Is there anything I should do so the Cash at Bank should appear and be used in the pay from account? And so I can do the next steps which is to tick the negative amount and positive amount, with the pay from account being the cash at bank?

    Sorry and thank you so much for your help, patience, and understanding.

    Hi DebWright 

     

    Sounds very strange that you haven't got the option there, but check that the account type for cash at bank is set up as account type.
