edited June 2019 in Reckon Accounts (Desktop)

All our updates are processed by an IT specialist – we have upgraded to Reckon Accounts 2019 R1 – the R2 update will not happen until next week (active since 1 July 2018 – 20+ employees).   

In the meantime, I will prepare the last pay for the year on 28 June 2019. 

Before I hit any buttons can you PLEASE CONFIRM I will follow the below procedure: 

28 June 2019 – as all employees will not be part of this pay run, do I lodge this pay as NORMAL with no boxes “ticked” – last pay for the year but DO NOT USE “Final Pay Event” 

When R2 is downloaded next week, I follow the “Finalise Year” steps to complete the process – the last pay has been exported on 28 June – I just need to do the “Finalise Year” step. 

(this meaning I would not use the “Final Pay Event” at any time??)

 Is this correct?? The more I read the more confused I become!!

 Thank you Bully

    Good Morning, The finalise year file when you upload to the gov connect has is a summary of the payment summaries. I have lodged mine yesterday. it all seemed straight forward. If I have any errors I will let you know. I choose to send out payment summaries this year just in case something has gone wrong. At least my employees will know when they go to lodge their tax.

    Hi Rav - I have read it, many times - 1am, 2am, etc. etc.  - please just confirm I do no need to use the "Final Pay Event" option at any time as per my request.  Thanks for your cooperation!

    Hi Bully,

    You are right.

    You will export the last pay as normal, then upgrade to R2 and just process Finalise year for 2018/19 to ensure every employee is on the exported STP file and they will be marked as final for the 2018/19 Financial Year.

    We always recommend to consult an Accountant or a Reckon Partner to get appropriate financial advise.


    Thanks,

    Ifti
