Timesheet (manual entry)
hi, I am new to myob payroll and trying to do a pay run, but it seems like I cannot enter my employee hours myself anywhere or even upload a timesheet, as we have only 1 employee who does not want to use myob team to enter hours. Is there any manual way to input the employee hours thanks

STP2 reporting
since 2018 I've provided a payroll service for my clients. The payroll transactions are then duplicated in their V19.16 accounts. Some of these clients have now placed their AccountRight files on the cloud I tried speaking to the ATO regarding cancelling my payroll reporting and setting up my clients for STP2 reporting in their own right , but the tax office lines are jammed and my call wasn't answered I'm unsure how to proceed registering my clients as setting them up would mean there would be 2 identical companies reporting on the cloud until I cancelled my payroll service. Has anyone else been in this situation and could help me with the correct procedureSaved Items 101: 💾
Creating invoices on the fly just got a whole lot easier. Whether you’re invoicing the same service again and again or just want to save time (and typing), saved items is here to help. Ready to get started? Let’s roll. 🚀 First Time? Here’s How to Get Rolling Never used this feature before? No sweat—we’ll have you up and running faster than your third coffee kicks in. ☕⚡ If you’ve got a bunch of services or items you invoice for regularly, follow these steps to build your Products and Services list and start creating invoices at lightning speed. How to Create Saved Items: 1. Head to the ‘More’ tab in the bottom-right of your Solo app 2. Tap ‘Products and Services’ 3. If it’s your first time here, you’ll see a cue screen — tap ‘Create Item’ 4. Fill in your item’s details: • Description • Unit type • Price (The category and GST code will be pre-filled for you) 5. Tap ‘Save’ 6. You’ll land back in your product list — to add more, hit the ‘+’ in the top-right corner 💡 Heads up: Items prices are always saved as GST exclusive by default — this will update automatically depending on whether your invoice is set to GST inclusive or exclusive. ✍️ Using Saved Items While Creating an Invoice Already in the middle of creating an invoice? You can still add new items—no need to backtrack. 1. Tap ‘+ Add Item’ 2. You’ll see your full list of saved Products and Services 3. Want to add a brand new one? Tap the ‘+’ in the top right-hand corner 4. Fill in the item’s details, and make sure the toggle ‘Save to Products and Services’ is switched on 5. Tap ‘Add to invoice’ and you’re done! 🛠️ Can I Edit a Saved Item in an Invoice? Yep, you sure can! Let’s say you’ve got a saved item called “Consultation – 1 hour”, and you want to make it “Consultation – 1 hour (via Zoom)” for one specific client. You can absolutely edit it in the invoice, and that edit will apply to that invoice only—your original saved item stays untouched. Handy, right? 💡 Heads up: If you create a new saved item inside an invoice, but don’t save the invoice itself, your item won’t save either. And that’s it! Saved Items = more speed, less admin, and fewer “what did I call that service again?” moments. 🙌 Need a refresher or want to explore more invoicing features? Check out our Invoicing Help Articles for tips, step-by-steps, and everything you need to become an invoicing pro. Happy invoicing!!💥GST Inclusive vs. Exclusive: You’re in Control🧾
Whether you like to show prices with GST baked in or broken out—Solo now gives you the power to choose. 🙌 Gone are the days of being stuck with tax-inclusive invoices by default. Now, you get to decide how GST is displayed on your invoices—and switch it up anytime you need. Just a heads-up: this setting only applies if you're GST registered, so if you’re not, you can go ahead and skip this one. ⚙️ How to Set Your GST Preference Want your prices to show with GST included? Or would you rather show them without, and let GST be calculated separately? Here’s how to make the switch: Set it up in just a few taps: 1️. Head to the ‘More’ tab (bottom-right) 2️. Tap ‘Invoice Settings’ 3️. Look for the option called ‘Item Price Display’ 4️. Choose either GST Inclusive or GST Exclusive 5️. Hit Save 6️. Head back to Create Invoice and start invoicing with your new setting 🔁 Can I Change It Later? Absolutely!! You can switch between GST Inclusive and GST Exclusive anytime: Just go back to Invoice Settings Choose your new preference Save it—and it’ll apply to all invoices you create from that point forward Each invoice will reflect whatever GST setting you’ve chosen at the time of creation. So if you need to toggle between the two for different clients or jobs? No problem. 📚 Want to Dive Deeper? We’ve got a full breakdown of everything you can do in Invoice Settings, from payment terms to branding and more. 👉 Check out our invoice settings help articles here.TPAR Made Simple
If you pay contractors, there’s a good chance the ATO wants to hear about it. But don’t stress—Solo’s got your back with built-in support for TPAR (Taxable Payments Annual Reporting). Here’s everything you need to know to stay compliant (without the chaos). 🤔 What’s TPAR, anyway? TPAR is a yearly report that some businesses need to lodge with the ATO. It shows the total payments made to contractors for their services—especially in industries like building and construction, cleaning, courier services, and more. Do I need to lodge a TPAR? You might, depending on: Your industry, and Whether you pay contractors for services When you first set up your business in Solo, the app checks if you're in an industry that may be required to lodge a TPAR. If you are, you'll automatically see the option to include expenses in your TPAR and download the report at tax time. 👉 Not sure if this applies to you? You can check with the ATO here or have a chat with your tax agent. 🛠️ How to Prepare Your TPAR The ATO wants the total amount you've paid to each applicable contractor during the financial year. That includes any payment for services, even if it’s bundled with materials. 🖌️ For example: Buying paint? Not reportable. But paying a contractor for painting services (even if it includes paint)? That’s reportable. So if a payment includes both labour and materials, and it's for a service, it should be included. 🧾 Including Expenses in Your TPAR If Solo has detected that your business may need to lodge a TPAR, you'll see an option to include expenses in your report. To include a payment in your TPAR: 1. Go to the expense (new or existing) 2. Tap "Include payments in TPAR" 3. Make sure your contractor’s ABN and billing address are recorded (the ATO requires both!) 💡 Tip: To check or change your business industry, head to: More > Business and contact details > Business detail 📥 Downloading & Lodging Your TPAR When tax time rolls around, Solo makes it easy to grab your completed TPAR file. 1. Go to More > Reports 2. Select the financial year you’re reporting for 3. Download your TPAR file 4. Lodge it via the ATO’s Online Services for Business You can also send the file to your tax agent if they’re lodging on your behalf. 🧠 Missed a few expenses? No worries—go back, edit them, and make sure to select the "Include in TPAR" option before re-downloading your report. 👋 Need a Hand?
