Why can't we change the payment method on wage transactions anymore?

In the past it was possible to change the payment method of wages that were 'locked' due to payment of their liabilities (eg super/paygw).

 

NOW MYOB have decided to have it lock the payment method too.

 

This means that when a user has accidently used the wrong payment method it cannot be easily fixed!

 

What's the current recomendation for these situations MYOB? Some convoluted method of correction perhaps ;-)

 

A journal from one account to another then remember to tick the 2 nonexistant transactions in the wrong'un, perhaps.

Hi @Freman 

 

Thank you for your post. With STP, the employees' year to date figures are sent to the ATO after each pay run.

 

Where previously it was possible to make some changes, now, if you want to remove or edit any details in a pay run that you've sent to the ATO, you'll only be able to delete or reverse it. This ensures nothing is being changed which has already been accepted by the ATO. 

 

Refer to our Help Article - To reverse or delete a pay, for instructions on how to reverse and re-enter the pay with the correct payment method.

Sorry @SamaraM but you are mistaken!

 

In the past locked down transactions would still allow you to change the specified bank account. 

 

Does the ATO collect, via STP, the bank account details that was used to pay the employee? (Yes or No)

Re: Why can't we change the payment method on wage transactions anymore?

Hi @Freman 

 

I've tested this on a sample file from 2019.4. When I look at a pay that was not included on a pay liabilities transaction, then I can choose a different payment method:

However, When I look at a pay that was included on a pay liabilities transaction, then the payment method is not editable:

As you mentioned the pay has been used in a pay liabilities transaction, the only option is to reverse it.
