STP Categories

Hi,

 

I am trying to set up STP and need some help please.

 

When I clicked check payroll details in Payroll reporting it didn't show any errors. (attached)

BUT,

When I clicked on the list menu-payroll categories. All categories shows "to be asigned". There is also a note saying if you are using STP you need to assign categories.(see attached)

 

 

So I am a bit confused. Do I still need to assign each categories or should I just click on connect to ATO?

  • Hi yoshu 

     

    I think that if all of your Payroll categories are 'To be assigned" then if you connect to the ATO, there will be nothing to send through, so you'll need to allocate them all as Gross Payments, Allowance(s), ETP, Lump SUm etc as appropriate...

     

    Regards,
    Danny

    No worries, yoshu I'm old-fashioned enough not to trust anything automatic so I always ending up checking things or doing it the long way if I'm at all uncertain :-)

     

    Cheers,

    Danny

    Thank you. It was just a bit confusing because when I looked at the process of setting up STP, it showed that if the category is not assigned, it will prompt so. (See attached)

    Haha. I am the same and very sceptic too when trying new things. Thanks for your reply. I will do as you suggest.
