STP - Employee ID is Invalid

[Matt_AHP]

Why is "Employee ID is invalid" a problem?

Does the tax office use this information?

Hi @Matt_AHP

Welcome to the MYOB Community Forum, I hope you find it a wealth of knowledge

My understanding is that one of the requirements for single touch payroll is that each employee record/card does have a unique identifier. As such, the Card ID has been used to showcase that within the AccountRight 2018 range and each employee would need to have a unique Employee ID/Card ID.

Need to bulk update your cards to add a Card ID? Help Article: Bulk updating customer, supplier and employees cards the process that can be used update those cards in bulk.

Hi Everyone

Just an update on this particular situation. With the release of AccountRight 2018.2 (next release), Single Touch  Payroll will use a unique system generated record applied to each card and not the Card ID. 

We don't recommend bulk updating the Card ID via the Import/Export Assistant for this purpose.
