I have an error in current BAS W1 & W2 due to a prior payroll journal that I believe was simply updated for COA code and or a jrnl reference# fix, which was done however after lodgment of subsequent IAS & BAS's - there are 4- 6 lodgments inbetween then and current return to be done.

IS THERE AN EASY WAY TO CORRECT THE FIGURE FOR IN THE CURRENT BAS?

QBO help have said the only way is to undo and redo all the in between BAS'S / IAS's including payments etc... That is NOT easy / efficient as then the in betweens are incorrect to actual lodgment,  due to the adjustments that are reflected for each of those... Can any other Accountant or user advise if they have found an appropriate fix / work around, other than the undoing of ALL those IAS's and BAS's.  If I might discuss the work around, I'd be happy to provide my phone # to chat to a local AU accountant/ user.

I'm in QLD on the Gold Coast.

    Hi Kim, 

     

    Thank you for reaching out and welcome to our community. 

     

    If the "error" was caused by updating CoA code or journal number, the difference in number should be showing 0 hence it would not impact your W1 or W2. You can confirm that by viewing the audit history of the journal. If it was indeed a numerical change then the only fix would be unlodging BAS's and relodging them again.
