Payroll Activity Summary vs Payroll Register Summary report in MYOB AccountRight
Hi Everyone As it is the end of the payroll year we thought we do an overview of two key payroll reports that are great to use at the end of the payroll year. These can be used to ensure that you have the correct values ahead of preparing your payment summaries. If you go to Reports>>Payroll>>Employees you have two reports; Activity Summary and Register Summary. Both reports do appear identical but are drawing their information from two different locations. The Payroll Activity Summary report is looking at the actual Payroll transactions recorded in payroll, whereas the Payroll Register Summary report looks at the employee’s card – in particular, the Payroll History section of the Payroll Details tab. Ideally, both of these particular reports will match as the payroll transactions recorded will match up with the employee’s card. What if the Payroll Activity Summary and Register Summary reports don’t match? If these particular reports don’t match it is likely that the card history has been updated manually. To get them to match do follow the below instructions: Run the Activity Summary and Register summary on a per month basis, to narrow down the month(s) that the reports don’t match Once the month(s) have been determined where it doesn't balance, check the payroll transactions in those months to ensure that they have been recorded correctly When that has been checked navigate to the pay history section of the employee's card - Card File>>Cards Lists>>Employees>Select the relevant employee's card>>Payroll Details tab>>>Pay History (left-hand side) Select to Show pay history for that particular and overtype that value to be same as the payroll transaction recorded Rerun the relevant reports to ensure that they do match. Once you Activity Summary and Register Summary reports do match, you are in a great position to prepare your payment summaries.11KViews2likes0CommentsEOFY Finalisation - YTD verification report and Payroll Summary reports do not match due to a non reportable wage item. Is this acceptable?
Hello, I am doing EOFY Finalisations. There is a wage item for an employee that is "staff reimbursements" for a busines purchase they made that I've reimbursed them for. I believe I set this up properly using MYOB's help page for this. When I pull the Payroll Summary report, the amount includes the reimbursement. When I pull the YTD verification report, the amount is "$34.19" less which is the exact amount of the reimbursement. I believe that because this wage item is "not reportable" it will not show up in the YTD verification report. I've pulled summary reports for each employee and added the gross figures which equals the same total as the YTD verification report but again is missing the "$34.19" reimbursement amount. When following MYOB's steps for preparing for EOFY, it says that I can't finalise until the Payroll Summary and the YTD Verification reports match. Because the reimbursements wage item is not reportable, I don't think these reports will ever match. Would I be correct in believing that this is okay and I can continue with my EOFY finalisations even if the Payroll Summary and YTD Verification reports don't match because of this non-reportable wage item? Or could it be that I've gone wrong somewhere. I've changed the ATO category, reversed the pay-run and re-done the pay-run and it hasn't changed anything. If there's any advice or tips any of you could give me that would be so helpful. It could be that I don't need to worry about the reports not matching but I would like to be sure. Thank you in advance :)SolvedSTP not balanced
I have another post going as ETP is not showing on STP - I'm waiting for a response to correct this. Once this is fixed, it looks like I'm still going to be out. Everything matches between STP verification report and payroll summary except for total salary and wages. Where do I look to find the difference/error?31Views0likes1CommentEnd of financial year GJ000000 journal entry
Hi, I'm new to MYOB and this September/October 2022, will be my first time using MYOB for the end of financial year processes. I've seen this journal entry, GJ000000, and would like to know what's going on behind the scenes. I can see that it transfers my current year profit or loss to my retain earnings. I assume it does this by summing total credits and debits from all the income and expense accounts and combining appropriately. Is this calculation done everytime you run create a balance sheet? Or is there a psuedo-account somewhere with this information stored? Through out the year the current year profit or loss 'account' appears to not be a real account in that there are no transactions made to it. The figures displayed in the interim balance sheet reports are calculations, made real when you close the financial year through the journal entry GJ000000. Is this true? Does this journal entry, GJ000000, do away with the need to manually close the income and expense accounts? Ie. Do I still need to debit my income accounts and credit my expense accounts to zero them and transfer the balance to Equity (retained earnings)? Regards, Greg839Views0likes2CommentsPraise for Sean
Trying to get the payroll to balance to the payroll verification report and coming up against a number of challenges. It certainly highlighted some gaps in my understanding of what can go wrong. I finally got on to the right person who told me the difference was caused by some inactive employees. I reinstated those and ran a final paycheque and it fixed the issue. I note that none of these steps were found in the help files. I cant thank Sean enough. Seriously great work. Kevin V Russell259Views1like1CommentUpdating price/item list for new financial year

Hi MYOB I am stuck - 1 client cannot reconcile STP Reporting with ATO figures. I have tried everything - all the tricks that have fixed things and nothing works. Yes this client started late in the year - no problem except for terminated before this date - these fixed - untick termination date run $0 payroll - voila fixed. 9 employees - half these figures match - have ticked and finalised 5 remaining refuse to budge no matter what I do. When problem 1st noticed - difference between last payroll run report accepted by ATO and final figures - no logical reason. So ran a zero payrun for staff member (single to test if fixed) - no change. Then ran payroll for 29/6/20 for single staff member which was difference between ATO figure (which was correct) and finalisation figure in STP Payroll reporting - this fixed it for this staff member. Great - then ran it for other staff members same method - didn't fix/change/alter anthing in Payroll centre. Did it individually - adjustment, then $0 - nothing worked. STP Payroll centre now stuck with 5 staff I cannot reconcile. This is MYOB problem I suspect not ATO. Urgent assistance please? The DocSolved1.7KViews0likes8CommentsPayment summaries
How do I create a payment summary for a limited date range? I started using STP from 13.5.19. My understanding is that I must issue a payment summary for the period 17.7.18 to 12.5.19 In summary: I will have to provide a PAYG summary for wages paid (from 1.7.18 – STP start date). Through STP, I have to provide a finalisation indicator to the ATO. The ATO will then upload the wage figure for each employee through the “myGov” website. The tax agent will then be able to access the wage income (post STP start date) as well as the wage income (pre STP start date).Solved1.9KViews0likes3CommentsNew Zealand Payroll - End of Payroll Year - FAQs
