When we deduct money from employee pay for things like PAYG Withholding and Superannuation, we then have a liability to pay those amounts to the proper agencies. Most of the time we'll include this in our End of Period procedures but we may sometimes want to pay a liability on its own and that's what we're going to cover in this lesson. We have more than one way to pay liabilities the first of which uses the optional M-Powered Services. The second involves BASlink which we're going to cover later on, so now we're going to cover the third method. Go to the Payroll Command Centre and click Pay Liabilities. Now the layout of this Window should be looking quite familiar by now because it's used in many of the things that we've covered previously. This time it's the Pay Liabilities Window. Select a Payment Source at the top and the next section has the Supplier and Payment Details, and there's a List further down with some Search Filter settings just above it. In the List we may see some of our Liabilities listed, or we may need to alter the Search Criteria. Set the Liability Type to the type you're looking for and I'll choose Superannuation. With this selected just below the Liability Type we can control how the entries are sorted in the list below, then at the right we can specify which Superannuation Payroll Categories we'd like to include by placing checkmarks at the left of the list, or if we set the Liability Type to Taxes we can then choose from a list of Taxes Payroll Categories. There's only one of those so I'll choose it. Now we need to change the Date Range. I'll set the Dated From Field back to the first of June, 2009, and there's our Tax Liability. This is the one that was recorded when we processed our Payroll earlier. If it's grayed out we'll need to select it with the checkmark at the right. Then we can check out this transaction by double-clicking it or using the Zoom arrow. This opens the Find Transactions Window with the correct search parameters already selected and we can open the transaction from here. So, returning to the Pay Liabilities Window we only need to make two entries. The first is the Supplier, which in this case is the Australian Tax Office, so I'll make a new Card for them. To keep things simple that's all I'm going to enter for now, so we'll click OK, select the ATL here, and the second entry we need to look at is at the bottom left. Select this if we don't need to print a cheque, and now we can record this. MYOB will remind us that we shouldn't be using this if we use BASlink, and we're going to be covering BASlink later on so I'll cancel this and leave it in the system for us to use later. If you're not using BASlink just go ahead and record this and you're done. And that's it for Payroll Liabilities, so let's move on.
