Payroll migration - from MYOB to XERO

One of the employees that we reported in MYOB needs to be migrated to Xero. Where can I find the BMS ID? Also, I assume their card ID in MYOB will be their payroll ID in Xero.

  • Hi Tiu 

     

    If you no longer have access to the online file, you can find the BMSID on the ATO Portal, look under Employees > STP Reporting, find last STP report lodged via MYOB and look at the details - this will show the BMSID - it is a long string of random characters, for ARL starts with ARL.

     

    Employee ID is not the same in Xero, they use a GUID for each employee.

      What previous payroll ID should I use then? 

      Thanks for the BMSID.

    Hi there Tiu

     

    To check the payroll ID of an employee, you can go to Payroll > Employees and click the employee name > Contact details > Employee number. Feel free to post again if you encounter issues in the future.

     

    Best regards,
