The key aspect of entering Workplace giving deductions is to use the nominated "Workplace Giving Withheld" liability account.
See: Changes to account details
There's several ways to enter a workplace giving:
1. Entering payroll using the Pay Wages feature
From the Transactions tool bar > Employees > Pay Wages
Configure the payroll accounts as displayed:
An example of the transaction coding is displayed below:
2. Entering a direct payment
This shows and example of a journal for a Workplace giving deduction
DR $1000 Wages
CR $300 PAYG
CR $50 Liability Account: Workplace Giving Withheld
CR $650 Cash at Bank
The payment of the workplace giving withheld is paid out of the same liability account. The payment entry is not allocated to employees.
Or you can set the account up the same as Child Support using a Control Account with sub accounts Withheld and Paid. The accounts would be setup like this
1. Setup Control account - Edit the system account Workplace Giving withheld to Workplace Giving
Update the STP2 tab to payment <N/A> as it is not reportable on STP2 submission
2. Add a new Liability - Other Current Liability account named Workplace Giving Withheld as a sub account of Workplace Giving
3.Add a new Liability - Other Current Liability account named Workplace Giving Paid as a sub account of Workplace Giving. Your STP2 tab is <N/A> as it is not reportable on the STP2 submission. Again the payment is not allocated to employees
