Splitting a payroll transaction

[jessica_W]

Hi

I have had the upgrade happen this week. I need to split a payroll transaction for an employee as they were paid over 2 transactions but only on 1 payslip. I noticed with the upgrade that now I cannot split a transaction unless it was done "electrically" . Because of this, I cant allocate the two payments to the payroll transaction. Is there a way around this? We dont want to do any electonic payments yet.

Hi @jessica_W 

You are correct that in the new Essentials/MYOB Business, to split a pay between accounts the payment method needs to be set to electronic. Once it's set up and payroll transaction is recorded, you'll need to process the electronic payments, please choose the option 'Download bank file'. This will record the electronic payment without actually paying it, you don't need to actually upload the bank file, simply pay the employee as you normally do.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know.
