You will need to contact the ATO to get your BMS ID yes.

If you have entered in the wrong one when you go to report you will get the error CMN.ATO.PAYEVNT.EM99507. Which, I am attaching the Help Article to fix rejected reports in single touch payroll that includes how to update the BMS ID once you have the correct one.

As I have used STP already, I have gone through the help article, as I am not set up for ATO online service I am unable to log in and access my BMS ID. So do I need to ring the ATO to obtain my BMS ID.

I also feel I made a mistake when I set up my new software by putiing in the wrong BMS ID, so how do I correcting this when I do get hold of my correct BMS ID

In the Help Article provided it does have steps on getting your previous BMS ID.

You or your tax/BAS agent can find your previous BMS ID via the ATO's online services.

* Log into the ATO's online services.
* Go to Employees > STP reporting (agents go to Business > STP reporting).
* Click the dropdown arrow next to one of your STP reports.
* Copy the Business Management software (BMS) ID so you can paste it into the Previous software BMS ID field in MYOB when prompted.

If your business has NOT reported via STP in other payroll software in the current payroll year, during the step where it says to transfer the BMS ID you will select no.

I hope this clears things up about the BMS ID.
