Accessibility period for purchase and spend money attachments in AR
With the ability now to attach copies of original invoices for purchases and spend money transactions and the move to digital copies across the board, is there a finite period in MYOB for how long the attachments will remain available and fully accessible? Historically, transaction information remains available in terms of the card details and the value of the entry, but the ability to drill down to the actual entry to see the transaction details eventually becomes unavailable - will the same thing happen to the attachments? I have clients who wish to use only the MYOB attachment copy as their evidence for substantiation down the track (should it be required) rather than hard copies or even PDFs stored elsewhere - assuming the file remains active, will the attachments be able to be reproduced to meet the minimum ATO retention requirement for at least five years after lodgement? And, in the case of a business/file closing, what are the ramifications there for the then-desktop version of the file?Solved937Views0likes1CommentRe: Casual loading calculation on overtime
It is not quite as complicated as it may seem. You enter the standard hourly rate as $22.69 or as required for each of the employees on their relevant card. You would then set up a Payroll Category for the casual rate and set the Pay Rate as "Regular Rate Multiplied by;" 1.25 - that will add the 25% loading for all casuals. For the Sunday Casual Overtime Rate, you would again set up a new Payroll Category named something similar to "Sunday Casual Overtime Rate" (abbreviated as needed given the number of characters available) and set the Multiplier to 2.25. Each employee who will need to be paid the casual rate and/or the Sunday casual overtime rate will need to have the relevant categories selected. MYOB will then calculate the rate on the basis of the individual's standard pay. For your employee on $22.69, the Sunday Overtime multiplier would take the hourly rate to $51.05 (22.69 x 2.25). The casual loading with the 1.25 multiplier would take the hourly rate to @28.36, the same as your calculation below for $22.69 + $5.67. For an indivual on, say, $20, that would take his/her Sunday o/time rate to $45 etc. The advantage of using multipliers is that they will work regardless of the hourly rate and do not need to be updated when the hourly rate is changed - it will all happen automatically! You should NEVER rely on manual calculations/adjustments in payroll - it is a recipe for miscalculations leading to unhappy employers and employees!! This system also shows the award rate and how the award rate is then converted to the relevant rate for the loadings etc on a consistent and reliable basis.4KViews3likes1CommentRe: STP report rejected - ATO error code SBR.GEN.AUTH.008
I spent considerable time this morning with a MYOB Help operator. We checked all sorts of settings and spent quite a lengthy period looking at what could have been wrong. The call ended with the suggestion that I ring the ATO for further assistance. I have now rung the ATO help line and luckily had the most helpful woman I’ve ever experienced at the ATO!!!! She asked me to check the MYOB Software ID that was displayed on their website for MYOB and compare it with that shown in MYOB - the ATO ID was different from that shown on my MYOB files. She informed me that I needed to update the ID through Access Manager to match that now showing in MYOB and remove the old version. Having done that, I have now been able to successfully lodge an STP report. I was unaware that Software IDs change and need to be updated through Access Manager - perhaps that is something that needs to be included in MYOB’s help system, because if it is there already, I certainly couldn’t find it!!2.1KViews0likes1CommentRe: STP report rejected - ATO error code SBR.GEN.AUTH.008
No ABN changes. No activation/reactivation of file has occurred. No-one else has access to the files so no STP re-sign up has been done. ALL files have my software number showing inthe ATO details. Software ID in ATO business portal was and remains correct. Next???2KViews0likes0CommentsSTP report rejected - ATO error code SBR.GEN.AUTH.008
I have had no hassles with STP reporting in AccountRight 2020.2 and 2020.3 ... until two weeks ago. I have just checked my reports for four clients (one using 2020.2 and three using 2020.3). All reports submitted since 18/09/20 have been rejected with the Employer information errors messages as follows : "Your notification for the online (cloud) software provider does not contain the correct Software ID. (ATO error code SBR.GEN.AUTH.008)". NOTHING has been changed in any of the files and it is not due to the update because 2020.2 is doing the same thing - has anyone else experienced this?? We need to report JobKeeper from Thursday and I would like to think that our MYOB STP reports confirm/substantiate our claims!! Suggestions will be welcome!!Solved2.1KViews0likes8Comments
