New payroll categories "FP: Unused AL"

Hi Earl_HD I didn't provide screenshots but my comment on the original post tells you what they are in the BAS setup. Specifically, where you select that payroll categories to be included in W1. They appear for both manual and online lodgement setups.

Can't show you them in the payroll categories list because they aren't there. They've appeared out of thin air in the setup.

I've attached a screenshot now - since I happened to be in there when the email notice of your reply came in.

Let's hope it doesn't require another 2 weeks to get the answer to this one.

Same! They just appeared on the list for BAS setup but I can't find them anywhere else. Another nail in MYOB's coffin.

hi Hal11 H-TS Princess_R Earl_HD 

They all need to be included in W1 as per attached screenshot from ATO site.

Thanks Julie,

I appreciate your response but our issue is that the categories simply appeared in the BAS settings but don't exist in our payroll category lists. We didn't create them, and they don't exist in our systems except in these BAS settings windows.

Hi H-TS Hal11 

Even if they don't exist now just include them in W1 in case you do need to create them later.

It is all part of stage 2 of STP, so those items need to included on any BAS.

And yet, still no explanation of WHY they've suddenly appeared on our settings. While I appreciate Julie's effort and advice, I'm not about to select them to be included on the BAS when I have no idea how or what figures might end up in there since those items are not on our payroll categories list and I don't know what they are.

They shouldn't be there unless we set them up. If it's for a future feature of STP 2.0 (which we've been using for ages already), then they shouldn't be visible to us until it's fully released and we're told about it. We shouldn't be stumbling over random bits and pieces!

This is a strange thread! Yep, still have no idea what is going on?

A further update to be ignored by MYOB, these categories also appear in the filter list for payroll category transactions [Accrual] report!  However, I just checked, and they're still not in the payroll categories list when I go to that option from the payroll command centre.

It's very confusing, and annoying that this is just being ignored!

So these categories have finally suddenly appeared in our payroll category list, but we already HAVE categories for these items (although I have no idea what the FP bit is at the front???). We already have a gazillion unused payroll categories we can't delete because they have been used at some time in the past 20 years even if the related entries have already been purged, and now MYOB has added extras? But at the same time, they're not editable, and they can't be added to any employee cards, they're just there, clogging up our already insanely cluttered list. 
Fortunately, I guess, they're still not selectable on standard pays or on the fly when processing payroll, but I just had to waste 15 minutes checking all of that to make sure I don't need to update our procedures to tell people not to use them.
What are you doing playing with our payroll categories? You wouldn't just randomly add a GL account to everyone's file I don't think, so why would you add payroll categories? 
If they serve no purpose, why are they visible?  :( 
EDIT: I've realised the FP probably stands for Final Pay for the new option to process a final pay more easily within MYOB. Still weird. But I guess my rant can be ignored.
