I need to pay an SMSF directly without BEAM (who holds funds for 5 days before paying!) I have the ACC details to pay manually, how do I make it show as paid in QBO?

Hello CJcharlie, 

Thank you for posting to the community. There are two ways to do this in Quickbooks depending on where the pay run was created. 

1)    If you've created a pay run, the superannuation will auto calculate the 9.5%. When you finalise the pay run, it will import a journal in QBO which will hit the Superannuation Payable and Superannuation Expense account. Once the super payment shows in the bank feeds, you can allocate the payment in Superannuation Payable Account (Liability account).
     
2)    If a pay run was not created in QBO, you can use the existing Superannuation Expense account to track the payment. Once the super payment shows in the bank feeds, you can allocate the payment to the Superannuation Expense account.

Hope this helps you allocate the payment correctly. Let us know how you went and if there is anything else we can help you with. 

Cheers,

Bowie
