Help Please
I have had a few payrolls over the Christmas break, where we have paid our employees a slightly different amount due to annual leave and leave loading etc. Due to the way payroll is setup, we pay the employee a standard weekly wage, and then do a second transaction to pay them the small extra amount that they are owed.
Therefore, there have been 2 transactions on my bank statement - ie. - The employees normal weekly wage was $700, and then I paid a separate amount of say $37.30 for the extra amount for leave loading etc.
When I try and match these transactions and allocate them to the comleted payroll it will not let me. I therefore cannot reconcile my bank account.
I have searched this forum for an answer and I note that a helpdesk person has said the following:
"In Essentials you can only match one bank transaction to one payroll transaction, and the amounts needs to be a perfect match. It's great you've removed the duplicate allocation, then you'll also need to unreconcile the manually reconciled payroll transactions. It can be done via Banking > Bank Reconciliations, untick the payroll transactions and click on 'Update Reconciliation' at the bottom. After that you can match them to the bank transactions."
Can you please advise a work around, or a solution to how I can do this so I can complete my bank reconciliation.
Regards
