Incorrect ABN for SMSF in MYOB

Hello

I've spent a few hours on this already and have followed advise provided in forums. I have an employee with a SMSF. They have provided the ABN (and I've checked 4 times now) and it is correct. Message from MYOB is that the ABN is invalid. I have the ESA so should be all good.

Please help!

  • Hi AwG1,

     

    Thank you for your response.

     

    I've further checked the Superfund ABN from the ATO Superfund Lookup, and I can see that the ABN for this fund is invalid as the fund's status is "Regulation Details Removed". This means the regulation details of this SMSF have been removed due to failure to lodger returns. The status needs to be "active" for us to process the payments associated with that fund. Therefore, this requires the fund to contact ATO and get the status changed.

     

    Please don't hesitate to reach out if you've got any questions or concerns in the future. I'm here to help.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

    Hello Princess_R 

    The ABN has been checked using the ATO ABN checkup and the accountant and bookkeeper have also checked it. We only have 1 SMSF.

    Hello, Sorry I was on Christmas break.

    I'm assuming you mean the message in the super processing part of MYOB..... In the far right box a red circle with white x appears and when you click on that another one appears next to the employee name.  The error message is:   We can't verify this employees fund right now, but we're working on it. Please try again later or deselect this payment from the list to continue processing now.

     

    This has been going on for 5 months now, so we need it sorted please.

    Hi Tiffy,

     

    Thank you for the exact error message.

     

    The fund details may have become corrupt, can you please attempt to set up the SMSF fund again, once set up you will need to assign it to the employee card and process the superannuation. 

     

    You will get a warning about the name existing, just add a number or letter to the end of the name. Once this has been created please go to the employee card file > Payroll details tab > Superannuation tab, assign the new Super Fund. You should then be able to process the super. 

     

    Please do let me know how you go.
