Good Evening All,

A request for some assistance or advice, please. I am trying Moneysoft's Payroll Manager at the moment and find it a brilliant package. There is only one wrinkle I would like to iron out. Which is the best report or method to use to extract the relevant data for a monthly journal? I would need this for input (manually) into an external accounting package such as Sage.

I have tried the report "Employer's Summary for tax period" but some items such as loan repayments do not appear on this. While it is possible to find the figures by digging arround a bit, I would hate to be missing something obvious that I just cannot see! By the way, I have tried the "Accounting File" which does not produce anything usable, for me at least. 

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Paul

Hello Paul

if you run the employers summary report, there is a drop down menu offering various options for different levels of detail. Try the extended report or the deductions report perhaps play around until you find the detail you need.  You may need to run two versions - one basic summary plus the detail you need

hope this helps.

Hi Paul

You can run the extended summary ( as Anne says)  and then if you hide unused columns it will  make it easier to read.

I keep a separate reconciliation on excel as I need the additions split and I don't want to run two reports.

Are you currently studying payroll?

Anne and Linx,

Many thanks for the assistance. It confirms what I initially expected. It won't be too much of a problem to do an excel based journal from the Employer's summary.

Linx, yes I am (self) studying for the payroll exam. I have had over 30 years of payroll experience, mostly in Zimbabwe, but need to get the exam under my belt as one of my clients wants me to take over his payroll in April. While I have used Sage and Pegasus Opera here in the UK I believe that Payroll Manager will be the most suitable for me to use and it is multi-company, at a reasonable cost.

Regards,

Paul
