End of year STP error

My June 30 2022 STP report was ACCEPTED WITH ERRORS.  I have tried to resend but myob says "The payment date falls within the lock period.  You can't record pays dated in the lock period".  Any ideas how to remedy this?

  • Hi sbee1 

     

    Thanks for your post. Go to Setup>>Preferences>>Security tab and deselect Lock Period: Disallow Entries Prior To. Once you've recorded the transaction you can relock the period by selecting that option.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

    • Hi Tracey, i'm not sure if the original posted has got a resolution on this; but our company's lock period is 1/06/2023, but I'm still getting the message when sending an updated STP event on phase 2 saying "The Payment Date falls within the lock period". Any idea how to fix this? 

       

      Thanks.

        I had the same issue with the lock period being 31/12/22

         

        Assume the file is trying to send payroll information for periods between 01/07/22 - 30/06/23 and it is impacted by any lock date in this range.

         

        I turned off the lock period option completely, and then was able to send the update event.

         

        Have now turned the lock period back on
