Moving to STP2 from STP using files on network folder

Hi all,

 

Hoping to get some help in relation to moving to STP2.

 

I am currently using MYOB Accountright Server Edition and have all my files on a network folder and I have some of them files subscribed to online services so that I can use the STP feature, but still leaving the file on a netwrok folder.

 

I have been told that moving to STP2, I will have to move my files to online and that it will not work as per the current setup. I dont wont to move my files to online as I currently have around 49 files and only 5 files needing to report STP.

 

Could anyone help in relation to continuing to use MYOB Accountright SE with a network folder and not putting the actual files online but complying with STP2.

 

Thank you in advance, Joe

    Hello CHASE 

     

    For a file to be reporting with STP2 the file does need to be online.  If you only have 5 files that report STP as you mention then these 5 will need to be online for STP2, and the remaining files can remain locally stored. 

    I have attached a Help Article on getting ready for STP 2 which can provide some more information.

      Hi CHASE 

       

      Use an alternative STP product such as STP Creator - this will work with offline (or networked) AR2022.5 file.

      Hi Chris,

       

      Thank you for your time.

       

      In relation to the online files, I currenlty report STP through these 5 files as I pay for the MYOB online services for these files, which allows me to report STP and leave my files on the local network. When I do payroll, I am signed in and the Payroll Reporting link connects to STP.

       

      If the STP2 is only adding a few more reporting items, I dont understand why my current process will not work the same way.

       

      Thank you once again for your time.

       

      Joe

        You'll complete the move to STP Phase 2 online (via a web browser) so you can integrate with the ATO's online services. This is only possible if your company file is online.

        If your company file is offline (saved on your computer or a network server), you'll need to put your company file online to move to STP Phase 2. 

         

        This is why your current process won't work.
