My question was regarding whether there is an easier process to help us calculate the super to pay to contractors and then processing this through payroll. Thank you. Payday Super Hi Am using AccountRight Desktop. There are 2 parts to my queries. Error message continues to display when paying contractors' super through payroll and is rejected by the ATO. The error message is regarding the Income Type (under the Tax tab) being set to Labour Hire and the Employment Basis set to Other (Not Reported). I was informed this issue was passed on to the Products and Develpment Team in October 2025 and this is still an issue. The ATO has advised they will fine for any payrolls that are rejected, so this is a concern. Is there any timeframe as to when this will be fixed? How to process contractors who are deemed employees under superannuation? As we pay contractors through the Purchases system, currently we run the Purchase Items Report to extract the labour on invoices. As this report comes through by Item rather than by Contractor the report needs to be sorted by Name and then each person's amounts need to be tallied to 1 total. For sole trader contractors we then need to create a MYOB Payroll to have their super obligation recorded for Pay Super. For partnerships/companies we also create a new Purchase to be able to pay a "super allowance" which is paid to their bank account. All this is very labour oriented to obtain the figures to calculate super for contractors. Is there a better/easier way to undertake paying contractor super or will MYOB be implementing a system to better work with contractor payments? As with most businesses, super reports will need to be run to provide to management, same as with payroll, to be approved before payment can be authorised. When downloading the super report the report does not highlight the employee/contractor names, it does not highlight the total for each person nor is there a total of the payment for the report run. These need to be adjusted in Excel so it is easier to read and the total to be paid itemised, then saved to provide to management. The webinar I just attended says there is no extra admin time in doing pay day super, but there is obviously quite a bit more. Being a small business this will take the accounts/payroll person more time to undertake their duties. Look forward to your responses. Re: super for subcontractors Hi. I have been using the Employment Basis of 'Other Not Reported' for suppliers for whom we pay the SGC. I have just run a payroll for the super to be paid for these suppliers and I have received an error message - PaymentBasisCode Error: Employment Basis Code in invalid (ATO error code: CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000272. I have not had this error before. Hoping someone can help me asap as I need to have the super organised by the end of this week. Thanks in advance. Re: MYOB Log on issue Hi all. Thanks, the desktop version is back to normal, but the online version still has the issue. Re: MYOB Log on issue Hi. When logging in unable to see what is being typed - this is not just occurring when logging onto the desktop (AccountRight) but also when logging in on the web browser version. This only started this morning. Re: import file error 10 - invalid date Thanks Gavin. The import did work eventually. The first time there were error warnings for the amounts having $ symbol and duplicate supplier number (which is to be expected). The 2nd time I imported the amounts did not have the $ symbol and the only warning was duplicate supplier number, and all data appears to have imported. This is strange as I did not make changes to the format of this file. In between the 1st and 2nd attempt I opened the file but did not make any changes to that file. I renamed the file after changing the format of the amounts to having no symbols - keeping it as Text (Tab Deliminated). Nothing else was changed. This import did not bring in the single lined transaction that is not GST registered and had one of my suppliers as not identified. Does opening the Text file in Excel change the formatting for importing? Updating the file to import is so much easier to do in Excel than in Text. Appreciate your help and time with my queries. I am not sure why it is so difficult to import data, it used to be very easy and could import CSV. Regards Michaela Re: import file error 10 - invalid date Thanks again Gavin. There are still some issues with importing. - Under Format, If data you are importing already exists in this company file: Options are Add the import data OR Reject the import data. There is no update existing record. I know there used to be as I do a bulk export and import to archive the year's job numbers. Using this current system, how do you update existing records in bulk? - Importing Purchase Items. Where we have single line/item bills where the supplier is not registered for GST (GNR), myob is not recognising the item as being bought, but where the supplier is GST registered it will import. The Item set up seems to be the same, except for the GST nomination. - For some reason one line of the import document doesn't seem to update the format of the amount to number, even though the formatting has been changed, same as the other data. Have attached relevant files in case this helps. Hoping you are able to assist again. Re: Sales Invoices and Reimbursement of Expenses Thanks for getting back to me Princess. Unfortunately we are unable to sort a Bill/Purchase Order or Sales Invoice by Item Number or manually move transaction lines on the screen, so the options are not viable. Appreciate you trying. Regards Michaela Re: AccountRight Crashes When Exporting Purchases Thanks for your time Gavin. Re: import file error 10 - invalid date Hi Genreve I am having a similar issue and hope you don't mind me adding to this post. Firstly, I cannot import a CSV file, have had to save the CSV file as a TXT file to import - AccountRight would not list the Fields to Match when a CSV file was selected. I am importing changes made to a file that was exported from MYOB. Have Error -10 Invalid date. Have opened the CSV file amended the date format to dd/mm/yyyy (it was on d/mm/yyy), then resaved the CSV file, but it still does not accept the date. Have attached both the TXT file and CSV file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Michaela
