Entering wages paid into Reckon

I'm moving my payroll away from Reckon but will still need to enter the amount paid into Reckon to be able to reconcile with the bank account.
What is the best way to do this? Would setting the other payroll provider up as a supplier and then allocating the wages to a wages account work? Thanks

Hi Rachel, I entered the payroll figures into Reckon using a Write Cheque for each payroll, and set up Wages as the supplier. We used to use Payroll Premier for a very complicated Payroll and get the figures into Reckon Desktop this way.

Rachel. The thing though that you need to be aware of is the when you follow the instructions which Kevin has outlined, and then run your BAS, it will not pick up the net salaries etc (including reductions for salary sacrifice super), as the BAS report generates its payroll information for W1 from payroll items. Payroll items only generate information when you run the Reckon Payroll Module, and as such, this will not generate by using a general journal to input you figures. You can setup your Journal in such a way that you can readily use figures from the payroll summary that your new program generates, but this can be a bit complex to set up initially.

I do, Kevin. It works perfectly every time because I have got all of my payroll items setup correctly. I reconcile it against the Monthly or Quarterly Payroll Summary to ensure that everything is setup correctly.

Hi, thanks for all the replies. I am in NZ and plan of filing my PAYE directly through the new payroll provider so it's really just an entry for accounting.

Hi Diane, did you Write Cheque for tax, kiwisaver/superannuation to handle that part as well? Or do you include everything on one cheque?

Like John, I use the integrated Reckon BAS also for the same reason - It ensures the accuracy of setup.
I also like to have this "BAS" form itself on file (due to my pedantic customised systems/formatting lol)Shaz Hughes Dip(Fin) ACQ NSW, MICB

Hi Shaz, your comment is not a lot of use to me given that I'm in New Zealand and we don't have the BAS setup that Australia uses as my comment above. If you can help me regarding NZ then that would be great.0

Sorry Rachel, didn't work on Friday. It's been a while but I believe I recorded everything in the 1 Write Cheque.0

Thanks Kevin. It worked for the organisation I worked for back then, so it was in :-)0
