Incorrect super membership number

I am trying to record my super payment. But it keeps on telling me that the membership number of an employee is incorrect. I have checked it against the employees stapled super fund and all details agree. How do I fix this?

    Hi eg2,

     

    That error can be a sneaky one, even when the employee’s stapled fund details all look correct. A good next step is to check whether that fund needs a validated Employer Number in MYOB’s super fund list. Here’s a cozy way to work through it:

    • Open the Superannuation Fund details in MYOB and note down the SPIN
    • Look up that SPIN in the MYOB Super Funds List here: MYOB Super Funds List
    • Check the Employer Membership Number Required column
    • If it says No, try leaving the Employer Number field blank
    • If it says Yes, you’ll need to contact the super fund to get the correct Employer Number
    • Once you’ve got that number, enter it into the Superannuation Fund details in MYOB

    If you’ve already updated it and the error is still hanging around, try these checks too:

    • Make sure the employee showing the error is linked to the same fund you updated
    • Clear the cache on the PC, and the host PC too if you’re using a network library

    If it’s still not behaving after that, it’d be best to reach out to our support team via the Contact Us page so they can take a closer look behind the scenes.

     

    Cheers,
