Hi DebWright
To get a corruption in the file fixed, you would need either send the file to MYOB or to a MYOB specialist who can repair files. If your file is online, simply tag a moderator and wait for them to contact you. I have tagged Earl_HD and Celia_B. They might be able to repair the file with a script.
Normally if the payment method on the employee's card is cash or cheque, the payroll transaction is:
DR Wages
DR Super etc
CR Bank Account
CR PAYG
If the Payment method is Electronic the CR is to the Electronic Clearing account instead of the Bank Account. So for bank reconciliation purposes you would create a GJ with date same as the payroll transaction and
CR Bank Account (edited as per Julie_A_C comment below)
DR Electronic Clearing
This should adjust the account balances and allow you to see the transactions when doing the bank reconciliation. In theory same would apply if this has happened to previous pays. Use the previous payroll date as the date for the GJ - and always add a suitable explanation in the GJ memo for other users.

The general journal will actually be a credit to bank account and a debit to the electronic clearing account.
Doing this will not put a negative amount into the electronic payment account so these entries can be cleared and they will always keep appearing even though the balance of the account will be zero.
This needs to be sorted by the corruption being sorted or a more experienced bookkeeper looking at the file.
Hi Julie_A_C
Thanks for the correction - I wasn't paying enough attention - I have corrected original post in case someone doesn't read the whole lot.
