STP2 - totals are correct in ReckonGovConnect but different when lodging BAS


I paid the weekly wages and lodged the STP2 through ReckonGovConnect. I then made another payment to a single employee on the same day, and lodged an 'update event' as I had already submitted the STP for the previous payments.
The gross payments are showing correctly in GovConnect, but when I go to lodge the monthly BAS online the total for the month is less the second payment. Does it matter that no tax was deducted for the second payment?
Should I submit a 'New Pay Event' for that employee dated 20/07/2023 which is the date of the two payments?
Thank you.

Hi Annette
" ... when I go to lodge the monthly BAS online the total for the month is less the second payment ..."
Whereabouts is it showing differently ? Do you mean the amount prefilled in the ATO portal or are you referring to the W2 label configuration amount displaying in the integrated BAS form within Hosted itself ?
Whatever wages you have paid within the reporting month should be what you report at W1.
NOTE: The ATO are starting to rollout prefilling W1 & W2 (based on STP2 submission) however the process is still in the early stages & can therefore be incomplete or inaccurate so it's necessary to check & amend these prefill amounts if required

Good morning Shaz @Acctd4
It was the ATO pre-filled W1 that was incorrect. There is no option to change it at the moment. Only the W2 figure can be changed as far as I can tell. I'll keep an eye on things moving forward.
Thanks as always for your valuable advice!
