Hi MarthaG,
Welcome to the Community Forum!
Your post and screenshot are helpful. It seems some payroll categories lack an ATO reporting category. You can learn more about this in our help article: Assign ATO reporting categories for Single Touch Payroll reporting. If all categories have ATO reporting categories, could you share a screenshot of the error messages and the payroll category under STP Phase 1?
We're looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,
Shella
Hi MarthaG,
Thanks for the screenshot. It shows you've selected the ATO reporting category and are on STP Phase 2. Don't worry about not seeing "STP 1" and "STP 2." If all categories are assigned, it means all your pay items are under the STP Phase 2 ATO Reporting category.
You may check out the helpful article I have previously provided to learn more about this.
Feel free to post again anytime you require further assistance.

Thanks Shella,
It is definitely reporting as STP 2, although I am unable to allocate the STP 2 wage categories (only phase 1). According to the ATO regulations, I need to categorise the wage payments according to the STP phase 2 categories.
As in MYOBs advice, under the below link - under the heading
Hi MarthaG,
Thanks for the response. In the updated AccountRight Software, there's no longer a distinct column separating ATO Reporting Category Phase 1 and Phase 2. However, if you're seeing STP Phase 2 reports, it means the transition from STP Phase 1 categories has been successful.

That is not correct - we need to allocate the first STP category (e.g: Gross wages) and then expand on what the payments are for (the reason why the ATO expanded to Phase 2) - see below from MYOB website.
I do not have access to allocate what type of gross payments are made - so the ATO is not receiving details of bonuses, annual or personal leave or overtime from the Gross payments (even though it is being reported on STP Phase 2).
MYOB website;
STP Phase 2 is the ATO's expansion of their payroll reporting requirements. This includes expanding the list of ATO reporting categories to better define the amounts paid to employees. For example, the ATO reporting category Gross payments has been split into more specific payment types, like overtime and bonuses.
