I am trying to change the bank account that an invoice was paid from and I am receiving this error message 'The EFT code you have entered does not pass the ATO's Validation requirement.'

    I am also getting this error message when in MYOB I am trying to do a spend money transactions from the electronic clearing account to pay Activity Statements and Superannuation using the ATO clearing house, to then create a bank file to pay all invoices together.  I have confirmed the BSB and Account details with the ATO and cannot complete this entry.

    Hi Upgrade,

     

    It's fantastic to hear that you've confirmed the BSB and account details with the ATO. With the error "The EFT code you have entered does not pass the ATO's Validation requirement." received, you can record the spend money transaction using the bank account where the payment came from instead of electronic clearing account. If this doesn't do the trick, you can reach out to our team on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via MyAccount.

     

    Cheers,

    Doreen

    Hi Doreen,

     

    The client usually pays several bills at once using aba files, hence the electronic clearing account.  I need to do it this way for them to pay.
