Processing STP Update Events

You can process STP update events to notify the Australian Tax Office when:

• reported payroll employee YTD amounts are changed, such as when the reporting category of a pay code is changed
• non-financial changes are made to payee records.

Note: You cannot generate update events for financial years with no STP submissions.

To generate an STP update event:

1. Select Payroll > STP Maintenance from the main menu.
   The STP Maintenance window is displayed.
   
2. Click .
   The Unsubmitted changes window is displayed.
   
3. Select the Payroll year.
   The unsubmitted changes for the selected payroll year are displayed.
   
   Note: STP update events for pays from prior financial years are generated using the highest Single Touch Payroll version used during a prior financial year.  If the Prior FY has no submission then any new Pay for that year will be as per what STP version is currently (Current FY) enabled.
   
   

4. Select the Include in update field for payroll employee changes to be included in the update event.
   
   Tip: You can right-click on the grid area to access the Select All and Select None functions. These functions make it easy to select a sub-set of payroll employees and vice versa.
   
   Note: You can click to view the changes for the selected payroll employee.
   
   Note: You can switch between viewing employees with changes and all employees using the Employees With Changes and All Employees fields.
   
   

5. Click .
   
   Note: The following window is displayed if any selected payroll employees are included in a current STP event.
   
   
   Note: You can either deselect the clashing payroll employees on the Unsubmitted changes window or complete the processing for the clashing STP events.
   
   The Process STP window is displayed.

6. Process the STP update event as per a standard STP event submission. See Process STP window.
