    Hi ACorp 

     

    I advise against editing a TPAR.C01 file using notepad. Every 'line' has to be a specific length and each field in a specific place, one character off and the report will fail lodgement or have lots of errors.

     

    To help locate the offending character, deduct 5 from the line number and this will give you the number of the Payee affected. View that payee in MYOB, plus one either side to see if you can find the issue.

     

    A forward space might not be the cause. More likely to be a 'new line' in a MYOB address field. MYOB allows you to have multiple lines for address fields, the ATO does not. Make any fixes in your MYOB file and generate a new TPAR file.

     

    Regards

Hi Gavin, 

 

Thank you for your suggestion (count back 5 from line listed as error). It worked and I could idently the relevant supplier card. 

 

For some reason, when the supplier card was imported into MYOB from our construction software, a tab space was inserted in the middle of the first line of the address, thereby creating a 'gap' in the address.

This was strange because the extra spacing is not on the supplier card in our construction software. 

 

But, none the less, the extra spacing was removed from the card in MYOB and the new TPAR lodged succesfully. 

 

Thanks again!

 

Regards, 

Heather
