Hello all,
I’ve recently got my MYOB up ands running and have notified the ATO through access manager of this.
I think I have to convert my dara from my old third party STP provider?
Not sure how to do this.
Hi @Isaiah_C and @gilli1
Option 1 is in principle the best solution. However this often does not work when MYOB files are involved, at least not for all employees. Some will be left with duplicate income statements.
Reason:
When notifying a previous BMSID, all employee data must match (including name, TFN and PayeeID/EmployeeID. For PayeeID/EmployeeID MYOB uses the employer card record id. And when this field is less than 4 digits, MYOB pads with leading zeroes. So if an employee has record ID 2, MYOB will report this employee as PayeeID 0002.
If your existing STP provider did the same thing, then fine, option 1 will work. However if your existing provider used Payee ID 2 or 3852d32f-537a-4240-926e-ce4979fb4d99 (like Xero does), option 1 will not work. You will need to use option 2 or 3 to avoid duplication.

Hi @gilli1,
If you’ve already notified the ATO that you’re using MYOB, the next step depends on whether you want to bring over your year-to-date (YTD) payroll amounts from your old STP provider or start fresh in MYOB.
Here are the 3 options:
If you’re setting this up in MYOB and the change happened in the current payroll year, I’d usually recommend Option 1 first, as that’s the cleanest way to let the ATO know you’ve changed payroll software.
