    Hi debm 

     

    If you reverse or create a void pay with a negative value for super, it will show on Pay Liabilities but will not factor on the Pay Superannuation window.

     

    As the adjustment was a reversal of another payrun, you could record a pay liabilities transaction and set the date range for the exact date range of the individual pay and reversal.

     

    As the reversal will offset the original payment, this will show as $0 in the pay liabilities window, which you can then record and then will not come up in the pay super window to be paid.

     

    Hope that helps.

Hi Samara,

 

Yes I did an overpayment but have reversed it.  The problem is that I can't get that negative transaction to be picked up when I use the pay super function and so have paid two amounts instead of one. eg. MYOB has picked up the original super amount of $144 and the amended amount $156 but not the reversal amount of -$144 so I have overpaid the amount of super into the employee's super fund.  The negative amount is still sitting in pay liabilities but I don't know how to get it to be picked up when I use the pay super function so the amount comes off the employees balance due.

 

Is there a way to do this?
