Pay Super
n our list of superannuation funds (accountright) we have a lot of funds that are no longer active or that have merged with other funds. We currently use a clearing house for our super payments and when these changes occur they automatically move the employee's information to the new or amalgamated fund and the old fund that no longer exists is not able to be input leading to fewer input errors. Is there a way to make obsolete/merged super funds in myob inactive and will pay super have the same sort of functionality as our clearing house in terms of keeping up to date with super funds merging etc and making those funds inactive or no longer able to be used in the future. We have found that on occasion using the employee self onboarding function that an employee has input a super fund that at the time of the self onboarding had merged with another fund and had a new name. Because they had input a super fund that was already set up in our list the old fund was input into their superannuation category which leads to the possibility of the error not being picked up or delay in using myob pay super function which would not occur when using our current clearing house.
Hey flashpip64,
You’re right to want tighter controls so old or merged funds can’t slip through. There isn't a way to make a merged or obsolete super fund inactive. The simple workaround is to rename the old fund and stick a letter at the front like Z or ZZZ so it drops to the bottom of the list. That keeps it out of the way and helps prevent it being picked by mistake.
Cheers,
Doreen
