Different software ID's

The software ID from the ATO settings under Payroll Settings in STP reporting is different to the software ID when trying to set up the "Prepare BAS or IAS".  I am then getting the error:  SBR.GEN.AUTH.008

The software ID given to the ATO is the one from Payroll Settings, so the STP reporting is working.  How do I fix the software ID in the BAS section to be the same so I can lodge the BAS?

    Hi Tracy8,

     

    Thank you for your post. 

     

    Typically, the software ID would be different as they are two different services. However, if you are a BAS Agent you would have your own unique software ID that is connected to your RAN and ABN. If you are lodging on behalf of your clients you would need to use your own software ID.

     

    More information on setting up BAS can be found below:
