STP REPORTING STILL WITH OLD SOFTWARE ID

[jennifer22]

Hi. We recently bought our own accountright subscription and moved to it from our bookkeepers subscription. In the transition, our previous STP reporting did not come across to our new software ID. It is still contained in our old software ID. I cannot see any of our previous info that was sent to the ATO. I can only see what I have done since our new subscription. Is there a way to import this data from a back up done onto a USB stick or any other way to do it.

thanks Jen.............

Hi @jennifer22 

Sorry to see that no one has offered assistance with your query. Instead of importing the information, you can do what is called Transferring BMS ID. This means that you will inform the ATO that the software ID you were using before has changed to a new ID.

1. Find the old software ID through the ATO's online services:

• Log in to Access Manager
• Go to Employees > STP reporting
• Click the dropdown arrow next to one of your STP reports
• Copy the Business Management software (BMS) ID 

2. Then on your current software, we need to enter the ID:

• Go to Payroll > Payroll Reporting > under Business ABN connected to the ATO - click on Edit STP business details
• Confirm - Edit STP business details > Follow the prompts until you get to 6. Transfer BMS ID.
• Select Yes > Enter the software ID collected above
• Select Report and enter your name to send to the ATO

Do let us know how you get on with the above or if you require further assistance.
