ATO Lodgement Errors

Hi

 

We're trying to lodge a 2024 Trust Income Tax Return in MYOB AE and it is being rejected with the following validation errors:

 

Errors
Code: CMN.ATO.GEN.XML01
Fields:
Summary: The message did not pass XML validation. Please contact your software
provider.
Details: If the 'nillable' attribute is false in the schema, the 'xsi:nil'
attribute must not be present in the instance.

Code: CMN.ATO.GEN.XML03
Fields:
Summary: A field contains invalid data (such as letters in numeric or date
field).
Details: The value specified for an item does not match the item type (value =
"", item type = Decimal, uniqueID =
http://www.sbr.gov.au/ato/trt:AssetsInventoriesTotalA) Hint: The string
'' is not a valid Decimal value.

 

I have tried deleting the return and re-entering - same issue.

 

Any other ideas?  The only details I can find online for these errors talk about STP finalisation....

 

Thanks

    Hi HelenSom,

     

    To resolve CMN.ATO.GEN.XML01 error, add a value of 0 at item 41 closing stock on your trust return and re-lodge. It seems from this year ATO is expecting a value at item 41 if any of the items 41 to 44 has a value.

     

    Regards

    Daljit

    WE are having the same error on an individual return along with CMN.ATO.GEN.XML03? What item is it that you have to put the 0.00s?

    Hi JenelleWalton,

    Can you share the complete validation report? It is most likely to do with missing 0's in the orange/yellow colored fields. Please check distribution for trust schedule or other income schedule. 

    Regards

    Can MYOB put a validation error in the system so that the Trust return will not validate unless you enter a $0 at the stock item?

    Just a suggestion to stop the numerous rejected Trust returns.
