Reconciling showing payroll back as credits

[SJR1]

Hi, 

I am attempting to reconcile my account on MYOB business pro. 

My wages (which I pay via the electronic clearing account) seem to keep coming back as credits making it difficult to reconcile and i am not sure why?

Anyone able to provide clarity for me?

Hi @SJR1 

Thanks for your post. Looking at that screenshot the pay transactions don't appear to be electronic payments which indicates there's something not right with your set up. If you're using the electronic clearing account you should see an electronic payment transaction, not the pay transactions. EP000008 is an electronic payment transaction, you should see an EP transaction for the wage amount.

In Accounting>>Manage linked accounts>>Payroll tab>>Bank account for electronic payments should be the electronic clearing account.

When you process pay runs the net amount is automatically posted to the electronic clearing account.

You would then go to Banking>>Prepare electronic payments>>Bank account field is the bank account wages will be withdrawn from. Select the pay transactions to be paid and click on Download bank file.

In Reconcile accounts the electronic payment transaction (EP) will appear as a withdrawal.

If you continue to have trouble with this can you please provide screenshots of a pay transaction and the Manage linked accounts window. Make sure sensitive information is removed from screenshots prior to posting on the public Forum.

Please let me know how you go.
