Superannuation payment returned due to incorrect member account number

Hello. I have been trying to follow the instructions on how to reverse a super payment made through the MYOB super clearing house as one super fund payment out of 20 or 30 fund payments bounced back but I can't get it to work. The reversal of the transaction times out. Is there a better way to deal with returned super payments? Cheers, Roxy.

    I find the whole reversal process to be more of a headache than it is worth 

    what I do is 

    1 create a liability account for incorrect super details (easier for audit)

    2 receive money to bank account transaction allocated to this new account 

    3 Phone and get BPAY or bsb and account number details from Super fund for employer contribution 

    (can sometimes be found on their website)

    4 Pay via Internet banking and allocate via spend money to incorrect super details account 

    Never had an issue with doing it this way

    Hopefully it is only a short term solution. Thanks Paul.

    Hi, 

    Just had this issue also. Sending back via BPAY or direct credit is no longer an option with STP and Superstream. 

     

    I had to reverse the whole superannuation payment for the entire payroll. Quarantine the correctly submitted super payment for the rest of the staff  and creat a bogus payment in (pay liabilities) to clear in MYOB. (## dont create another superstream payment) . then... reverse the pays  that correspond for the offending incorrect super payments. ( in my case it's one employee with a month of pays.) Resend them via the (Pay Superannuation) and you can see it capture the contra entries for both the incorrect fund and the correct fund. this will send the payment to the correct fund via superstream. 

     

    You may need to re-reconcile your bank statements depending on the timing of the payments.

    Hope this helps!!!
