Incorrectly reported Unused Annual Leave in STP2

Hi. In a final pay we didnt use the correct payroll item for reporting Unused Ann Leave.

We used the ordinary Ann Leave item, which is incorrect in STP2

How do we fix this in Reckon Accounts please? Is it as simple as changing the existing pay slip by unlocking net pay etc, or do we have to reverse it out and re enter it in a new pay?

There are no more pays to do for the employee in this FY.

Thanks

    If it was paid last financial year (eg pre-01/07) … Once you've corrected the Paycheque, generate & submit the Finalise Year STP file (If you've lodged that previously, this will simply override the previous finalisation one)

    If it was paid in this FY (eg from 01/07) … Generate & submit an Update Event STP file, for just this employee's final pay.

    IMPORTANT! Ensure you select the SECOND Report Type option in Reckon's portal, when uploading either of the above STP files:

    Hi Leshelle

    Yes, just unlock the Paycheque (take a screenshot FIRST!) & replace the standard Ann Leave Payroll Item with the Unused … one, ensuring all amounts match the original ☺️

    (NOTE: You may need to manually change the PAYG Tax &/or SG Super if these amounts change)
