Edit super fund USI and ABN

[GillB]

I need to change a USI and ABN for a super fund I have already setup as the fund has merged with another super fund.

I go to Lists - Superannuation Funds and click the zoom arrow to open the fund to make the changes but it won't let me edit the information, it is greyed out.

If I create a new super fund I can choose this super fund from the drop down menu and it has the new details in it, but can't save it as I already have a super fund with that name (the one I'm trying to edit details for). 

Help please as I need to process July payroll today.

Hi @GillB, 

Thank you for your post. Can I please confirm if this is for a self managed super fund ? If so, self-managed funds can't be edited. Instead, you'll need to create a new self-managed fund with the updated details and assign it to the applicable employees. You'll need to enter a different name in the Name field to the one use previously to be able to save the new fund.

Please do let me know how you go.

Hi,

I have the same issue. It is not changing a self-managed fund but the USI of an existing APRA super fund.

Are there any clues in making this happen.

Thanks

Hi, I have been told that if the fund is not a SMSF the ATO will update the details and it will flow through to MYOB.

Hi,

Do you know when it will flow through as I just checked and I am still getting an error when I try to record a Super payment.  It is a number of employees all with the same super fund. Message is contact MYOB support . There should be another way to change the USI for a super fund.

Hi,

I just checked and it is still showing old details. Help desk (through Live Chat) said a USI and ABN can't be changed in MYOB, only the ATO can do it, and once they have it will flow through to MYOB.

However, if I create a new super fund and select the same super fund I know needs updating, the new details are there. So now I am not convinced ..... I am not sure what else to do as the help page says "A super fund can only be deleted if it hasn't had a payment made to it'' so I am assuming I can't delete the fund with the old details and create a new fund with the correct details?

Hi,

I have a similar problem trying to change the super fund USI and ABN. Mine is not a SMSF, but a take over of fund by another fund. I can change the USI, but MYOB will not let me change the ABN. I need to submit payment but cant.

Any advice.

Thanks

Sue
