  • They match the filters set in the summary area.

Totals

This tab displays totals across all selected contributions, broken down by branch.

Total Amount The total amount of all selected superannuation contributions.
Total Employee The total amount of all employee contributions in the selected contributions.

Number of Employees The total amount of employees in the selected contributions.
Number of Funds The total amount of individual superannuation funds in the selected contributions.

Exceptions

The exceptions tab displays any contributions that meet the criteria, but which are missing a Member ID and/or Fund Name, and can therefore not be processed. Double-clicking on an exception row opens the Pay Details (MP.PP.23.10) form for the related employee, where you can edit their Standard Pay to include the missing details. Updating these details in the employee's Standard Pay automatically updates all pays for that employee.

The details displays on the Exceptions tab are the same as those on the main table on the Contributions tab.
