Adjust previous year RESC payment & submit updated STP

probbo

I have to change the $$ amount processed as a RESC payment for an employee for last financial year (it was a 1 off RESC payment for the year made on Pay Run 23/06). I have adjusted the relevant Pay Cheque - unlocked the net pay & updated the RESC Payroll item to required $$ amount. When I run payroll reports for 30/06 following the change the YTD figure for RESC is correct reporting the correct updated $$ amount.

I process the STP as an Update Event for the affected/modified Pay Run (23/06) & export. When I upload as a 'Update previously submitted' the date shown as pay date in the STP Portal for the update is 30/06 not 23/06 as per Pay Run exported. Gross Pay, PAYG & Super shows the YTD balances as at 30/06 not 23/06 - I assume this may be correct based on "If you choose a Pay event in a prior financial year, the most recent YTD figures for that year will be exported" HOWEVER the RESC balance is showing as $0.00 dollars not the $$ amount processed.

Is the process I have used correct? Why is the RESC balance in the portal showing $0.00 & not the updated RESC $$ amount?

OK found a solution

So appears you have to remove the RESC payroll item from the Pay Cheque completely & Save & Close the Pay Cheque, not just modify the amount on the Pay Cheque & Save & Close.

Once removed & saved, reopen the Pay Cheque & add the RESC payroll item. Save & Close

(Modifying the amount worked for YTD reporting, but not the STP file export. Removing Saving then adding & Saving exported the STP file with expected/updated RESC $$ amount)
