Clear out super payments

Hi jessicahammat​ and carmengordon​,

I think I have found a work-around.  Please find it listed below.  

1. Reports > Accounts > General Ledger [Summary] - save a copy of this report to reference the true balances of your Superannuation Liability account and Suspense Account as per steps coming up to ensure all figures go back to the expected.  I dated mine from the current financial year start, to current day and chose for all accounts.    
2. Payroll > Pay Liabilities > Liability Type - Superannuation >
• Dated FROM: as far back as you can. 
• Dated TO: DO NOT include any dates that you plan to pay using MYOB's Pay Superannuation function.  So do not date to current day for example. 
• Keep in mind that how far back you can go will be dependent on what year you have rolled over etc.
3. Choose the select all tick, which is likely to result in a fairly large amount.  Note this amount down.
4. Pay from Account - it would be my suggestion to use a cash drawer/suspense account for this transaction. 
• The reason for this, is that all these payments have previously been paid via SBSCH via the ATO and will have already been reconciled in your bank account. 
• We are simply tricking the system into clearing these out of the "Pay Superannuation" section.
• We are going to reverse this entry in the next step
5. Enter a logical Memo
• I annotated as - Clear Pay Superannuation as paid via SBSCH
6. Record the above "Pay Liability" as today's date
7. If you have a LOT of data, which I did, you might find the application times out. 
• I decided to do it FY by FY which took more time, but allowed the system not to time out
• If doing FY by FY, be sure to check that the Pay From Account and Annotation is correctly chosen each time
• All these FY amounts will still add to your previously noted down TOTAL amount
8.  Then you will need to complete a Journal Entry to reverse these out.  Mine was DR Cash Drawer and CR Superannuation Liability account
9. I then re-ran the General Ledger [Summary] and saved these with the financials in case any future questions arise from this action

I hope this helps.
