To delete reconciled or matched payroll transactions

If the payroll transaction you’re deleting has already been reconciled or matched to a bank transaction, a message is displayed informing you that the transaction has been reconciled.

  • If the payroll transaction you’re deleting has been manually reconciled or matched to a bank transaction, deleting it can affect your future bank reconciliations. See Reconcile transactions.
  • If the payroll transaction you’re deleting is one of several transactions that have been matched to a single bank transaction (for example, if you used a single bank transaction to take out money to pay several employees), you’ll need to unmatch this transaction before you can delete it. See Matching bank transactions.
  • If the payroll transaction you’re deleting has been automatically reconciled, deleting it will remove the match and may affect your bank reconciliation. After deleting the payroll transaction it will reappear on your Bank transactions window where you can allocate or match it.

titleWhy How do I receive a message about superannuation when trying to delete a pay?

Why do I receive a message about superannuation when trying to delete a pay?

When attempting to delete a pay you may receive the message "Wages from this pay have been used in the pay transaction dated XX/XXXX/XXXX to calculate superannuation."

This occurs as superannuation is being calculated on a monthly basis and the pay you're trying to delete has been used to calculate superannuation for other pays in the month.

To resolve this you'll need to delete any other pays in the month which occurred after the pay you're wanting to delete and then reprocess them.
