PAYG backpay unallocated
We paid PAYG for 2 under 18yr employees over a period of several weeks (some before Q1 BAS lodgement and some after) when their PAYG should have been adjusted to $0. I have now reversed the pays...

Hi Enough,
Thanks for your post.
It's a good thing that you were able to reverse and then reprocess the pay run already. Regarding your concern about the unallocated payments showing, please confirm if you were able to receive the PAYG amount already from ATO. If yes, you will need to create a receive money transaction so you can allocate the $35 overpayment for March. Once done and the overpayment has been sent to the employees, you will then need to create a spend money transaction if you have already reimbursed the overpayment to your employees.
Feel free to post again anytime if you require further assistance.

Thanks Doreen,
I made a BAS adjustment with the ATO so our account has a credit of $35. The activity statement for this month shows a balance shows a balance of less than the report for the month. I'll be entering the $35 adjustment in the PAYG journal entry so the accounts will balance.
What account would I allocate the spend money transaction to?
Hi Enough,
I appreciate the update. As for your question in which account you'll allocate the spend money transaction to, I'm afraid I can't provide an answer to that. As we're not allowed to provide any financial advice. It would still be best to speak with your accountant for an advice.

I’m just now re-doing the bank reconciliation. The pay reversals and re-enters are listed as unreconciled but when I select them to reconcile, it throws the balance out by the $50. The spend money transaction for the $50 is already selected as it was allocated in the bank feed.
what have I missed?
Hi Doreen, following up from this problem.... creating a 'spend money transaction' as you suggested cleared the unallocated transaction on the dashboard but now the bank statements don't reconcile because the payment of $35 was already reconciled against the corrected payroll entries.
I have now deleted the 'spend money transaction' so that I could reconcile the bank statements but I'm still left with my original problem of having the $35 payment on the dashboard as 'unallocated'.
How do I clear it without affecting the bank rec?
