Re: AccountRight no longer doing Super for offline files?
Hi Julie_A_C , yes this is the current plan. But it's also not law yet - which seems to be partly why there is no detail around it yet. Will we still have to pay into a clearing house? Or will we EFT directly to the member's funds? The ATO likes to pay close attention to this type of thing and I understand the intent is to clear up non-conformance with Super payments and make sure employees get the super that is owed to them, on time. As such, it's likely some kind of clearing house may still be needed, to reduce the government Super payment reporting requirements. ATO have said that SBSCH will be shut down, but they also won't be able to leave thousands of Australian SME's without a method of paying Super. The answers will come in time, but until then, SBSCH is the only workaround we currently have for MYOB's lack of support for Super payments to SMSF employees when using offline files.24Views0likes1CommentRe: AccountRight no longer doing Super for offline files?
Sorry for the slow reply - i was out last week. Yes, we do an individual spend money transaction which is itemised for for each individual super account. It still sits there in "pay superranuation" as unpaid, but it doesn't affect accounting as the function has just been bypassed. Not sure how it will work doing some via SBSCH and the rest through MYOB, as we do it all through SBSCH now!47Views0likes0CommentsRe: Delete a NonZero Inventory Amount and Items with Journal Entries
Thanks for the quick reply. Both of the above links indicate that you can't delete the inventory items if they've ever been used and that the only resolution is to mark them as inactive. Some of the items i'm trying to delete have been unused for 10+ years and no longer show any transaction history in the company file. At what point are the items 'unlocked' to enable them to be deleted? Do we just have to have a huge list of old unused items in perpetuity?Delete a NonZero Inventory Amount and Items with Journal Entries
Hello, I'm trying to delete some inventory items and recieve the error message: ItemActivity_Delete_NonZeroAmount. The item quantity is showing zero in all reports and the item hasn't been used for many years. Think I need a copy of the script which zero's non-zero inventory quantities due to rounding issues as this has fixed similar issues in the past. AccountRight version 2025.5.1.3 - OFFLINE file. ---- On a similar note, I'm also trying to delete some items which won't delete due to having an existing journal entry. I receive the error message "You have journal entries on file that use this item". How do I delete these old and unused inventory items?Re: AccountRight no longer doing Super for offline files?
Hi Shella, This information is incorrect. STP can still be queried through the ATO in order to confirm SMSF compliance. This does not require an online file to occur. Both zswiss and I are doing this using 3rd party software since MYOB discontinued support for this function. The fact we can still do it with 3rd party software and our offline files proves that it is possible. MYOB have stopped supporting STP for OFFLINE files. This is the same application issue that both zswiss and I have encountered. Now MYOB are also preventing Superannuation compliance too - as both of us have stated in posts above that we have no intention to put our company files online. Changes over the past couple of years to OFFLINE file support are totally crippling the usability of MYOB software. Users like us will not be moving to online files. MYOB need to properly support their offline file users and provide proper notice periods of significant changes, as was provided for the change to STP. Insufficient and very little visible notice was provided about the change to Super payments to SMSF's. Changes to MYOB to retain statutory compliance do not require online files, MYOB are just electing to not develop their offline file support/coding further to enable OFFLINE files to continue working with full functionality. Hopefully this position changes sometime soon!33Views0likes0CommentsRe: AccountRight no longer doing Super for offline files?
Yes, we have around 1/4 of our employees with SMSF's and do suspect that was the key issue with MYOB processing. We've just started processing them all through the SBSCH. Interestingly, the MYOB clearing house used to take a couple of weeks to clear the funds through to the payees. When loading it through SBSCH, it hit their super accounts the following business day. I guess MYOB hold everyone's funds and gain some interest for a couple of weeks? /shrug Correct - we just do a manual entries into MYOB for the Super payments. PITA, but at least a temporary solution to this ridiculous situation.70Views0likes8CommentsRe: AccountRight no longer doing Super for offline files?
MYOB have no interest in a solution. I've been told through multiple calls and messages that they can't help other than to just move to online. Like STP, there is no technical reason to require online (we can do it offline through 3rd party apps) but MYOB don't seem to want to write the code and support their offline customer base anymore - as we're 'only a small percentage of their customers'. I have found that if you have 10 employees or less and below a certain turnover, you can register through the Australian Business Online portal for their small business super clearing house. After registering for the SBCH, you need to set up all of your super payees manually, then enter the payment manually through the portal, instead of MYOB doing it. I had all of the securities and accesses already so it was pretty quick and easy to register for. Setting up the payees took slightly longer. Downside, is that SBSCH will apparently shut down as of June 30 2026(?) as the move to pay-day Super payments is introduced. This isn't actually in law yet, so I don't think the processes for how this will work are in place - hopefully it'll move back to paying Super bank accounts, rather than having to go through clearing houses. Hopefully MYOB will get their proverbial together by then...?60Views0likes10CommentsRe: AccountRight no longer doing Super for offline files?
Hi Amanda, Thanks for the reply. This seems to be getting to the bottom of the issue. Yes, a number of our employees have SMSF's. As MYOB no longer support STP for offline files, we already have to lodge STP through 3rd party software. Sounds like MYOB just need to add a check for current STP acceptance on the ATO log prior to submitting a request to pay Super through your clearing house? Our 3rd party software can do a call function like this, so i'm sure MYOB could as well, even if you're no longer managing the STP payments themselves...85Views0likes0CommentsRe: AccountRight no longer doing Super for offline files?
This link doesn't mention anything about the change to Super and I shouldn't have to read into the depths of an email about upgrading to an online version when I have no plans to do so... Can you point me to any published information that says this change is coming and notifies existing users? As far as i'm concerned, this is a software programming issue (another one...) which needs to be fixed in order to allow existing users to continue to use the software which they are being charged for. MYOB are welcome to modify their software, but as this is essential business software, any deprecation of existing required accounting features needs SIGNIFICANT and specific notice of upcoming changes.110Views0likes0Comments
