Payroll: Multi-Company Pay Super (AU)

Note:
For now, these features are only available as part of an early access program. We'll let you know when we make it available for everyone.
All companies in a single tenant can now use and take advantage of Pay Super, MYOB's free superannuation clearing house service.

For instructions on preparing for muti-company Pay Super, see our knowledge base article. Even if you're not switching from SAFF to Pay Super, you need to review your companies' payment methods to avoid an error when saving superannuation batches.

Easily Manage Superannuation Payment Methods for Multiple Companies

We've updated the Pay Superannuation tab of the Payroll Preferences form (MPPP1100) so it's easy to manage superannuation payment methods for multiple companies. You can see all the companies in your tenant and which payment method they currently use.

It's also easier to find the information you need when applying for a Pay Super account, as the Pay Superannuation tab now lists your site's serial number and each company's unique CDFID.

Superannuation Batches Grouped by Payment Method and Company

When you create superannuation batches that include transactions from multiple companies, the number of batches created depends on your setup. If the transactions were from companies that use:

  • Pay Super, a separate batch is created for each company. For example, if your Melbourne branch and your Brisbane branch are registered for Pay Super, two batches are created – one for each branch.

  • SAFF, a single batch is created containing transactions from all SAFF companies.

  • Both Pay Super and SAFF, a separate batch is created for each Pay Super company, plus one batch that includes transactions from all SAFF companies.

To make it easy to identify which company and payment method was used to create a batch, we've added new Pay Super Company and Payment Method columns to the Superannuation Batch Summary form (MPPP4051).

Saving New Batches Takes You to Superannuation Batch Summary

Because a separate batch is created for each Pay Super company, saving the Create Superannuation Batch form (MPPP5005) now takes you to the Superannuation Batch Summary form (MPPP4051), instead of the Superannuation Batch Details form (MPPP5006).

This lets you see all the new batches that were created. The Superannuation Batch Summary form is automatically filtered based on your site's auto-approval settings. If auto-approval for superannuation batches is:

  • Enabled, the form shows batches with the Created status.

  • Disabled, the form shows batches with the Approved status.
