Opening MYOB file for payroll only

Hey Le_Trinh,

Great questions with payroll and nice work getting on top of this after your 31/10/2025 restructure. You can spin up a fresh MYOB Business Payroll Only file just for payroll and keep things clean. Keep in mind that the payroll only covers up to 4 employees. When you set up STP in the new file, the new BMS ID and employee IDs will be automated. Make sure to choose Yes when asked if you're using other payroll software and enter the old BMS ID. You can import employee profiles into the new file, then pop in wages, super settings, and YTD figures manually to keep totals accurate. To let staff double‑check their info, open each employee card and hit Request employee details or Save and request employee details so they can review what’s on file. You can also register Pay Super in the new file even if the current file is already set up. Your plan to run payroll in the new file until 30/06/2025 and then move back will work nicely as long as the file stays active, you finalise payroll in the new file before switching, and before 1 July in the original file you confirm the ABN and branch numbers are correct to keep STP clean. You can also reach out to our team via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via My Account, so they'll be able to help you more.

Cheers,

Doreen
