Hello Shella
Thanks for the reply.
MYOB consultant found the invalid characters. I have not manually changed to file. What is the issue with emailing the file to our accountant to lodge? Haven't heard this from any of the consultants that I have been speaking with.
I'm not sure how many times I have to speak with tech support, however the issue is still not fixed.
Is there a specialist in MYOB that can sort this out?
Hi HeatherTutty
If you can't get MYOB support to fix, get in touch with MYOX Services. They will be able to not only fix the file for lodgement, but also tell you what you need to change in MYOB so the same thing doesn't happen again next year. There will be a fee but might be cheaper than wasting time.
FYI the comment about not emailing the lodgment file is a 'real' thing. Some email servers do add characters to the end of the file so they can identify the file. This happens to text files that do not have an end of file marker (such as TPAR lodgment files, EMPDUPE files etc). If you need to email, zip the file and email the zip.
