Why can't I enter a negative hours payrun with a net pay?

Hi Forum 

I have an AR Desktop client who has been advised by their accountant to reverse their pays since July and only pay themselves $1,000 for the year. Using a locally restored test file, I have tried to do this with one transaction each by setting up a Payroll Category (not STP reportable) to code to Owners' Account in the BS and link to their cards, and then enter a payrun with negative base hours to reverse their pay, positive PAYG to reverse this and a balancing positive amount to the new Payroll Category (Owners' Account) to pay $1,000 net pay. After I click on Record Pay, the Process Payments screen comes up as $0.00 for all payment types when one of these should be for $1,000. If I ignore this and click Next and Finish, the transaction disappears. Why is this happening? The clients don't want to reverse all of the transactions and a single entry suits them better.

Regards

Liz

  • Hi - I have been asked if I have a solution and the answer is that the file has to be online so any stuff ups will be live. Not a particularly pleasant option but no other alternative at this stage.

    Cheers

  • I just tried this again with the $1,000 net pay as a Bonus (reportable STP) and it still comes up as $0.00.

    Great suggestion. This feature will allow much flexibility to amend entries.
