    Hi Swiftyv2 

     

    I would recommend taking a look at my post on Deleting/editing a processed pay for more information deleting payroll transactions. Basically, to delete a payroll transaction you need to start at the end and work backwards i.e. you can't delete that payroll transaction before you delete the secondary transactions (electronic payment or pay superannuation transaction...).

     

    In terms of your situation, I get the impression that the superannuation has been paid and thus the pay superannuation transaction can't be deleted and that payroll transaction has been locked. Now, if I read correctly, it seems like you want to fix something for payroll reporting purposes. If so, my recommendation would be to enter a pay for those employees as a negative amount. What this will do is update the employee's year-to-date information and thus when you next report (or by doing a zero pay event) within that file that new year-to-date information is reported through to the ATO.
