STP Report did not Generate for Payroll Reversal

I had to reverse a payroll because it was processed in MYOB on 1 Jan 2020 when it should have been 31 Dec 2019, (which meant I couldn't reconcile the bank account). The problem is that when the report went through to the ATO, it only shows the newly raised corrected payroll and not the reversed payroll. 

 

I have since seen on the forum, that apparently back in July MYOB had a problem with reporting on negative transactions?? I have done reversals previously and the reversals went through STP reporting fine, but has not on this one.

 

What can I do to correct the STP reporting which now shows two payrolls for the same period???

 

Thanks

    Hi BenchCBS 

     

    Thanks for your post.  The way STP reporting works is that only transactions recorded through Process Payroll are sent to the ATO.  As reversals aren't recorded through Process Payroll they won't be reported through STP.

     

    However, as mentioned by Monkey95 the ATO are only interested in the YTD amounts, which are corrected by the reversal.  This works the same if you delete a payrun, the payrun isn't deleted from the Payroll Reporting Centre or Business Portal but the YTD amounts are corrected when you send the next STP report.

     

    You can check the YTD amounts are correct by going to the Payroll Reporting Centre and clicking on the ... button for the most recent report and select Download report.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

    Hi Bench, 

     

    I believe you do not worry about this issue. The ATO is concerned with the YTD figures that Individual runs. When you do the next pay the Info would be updated to ATO reflecting the correct values. 

     

    Let's wait for the ADMIN to confirm this. Cheers! 

     

    Also, If you have a screenshot of the reversal that was showing up from the past can you share them here for confirmation.
