Invalid Company Information provided.

Hi Earl,
Check out the info in this KB article, in particular the legal name format (it must be written the same way as displayed in GovConnect STP & case sensitive) and branch number.

“Invalid Company Information error” in Govconnect STP when submitting pays from Reckon Accounts

Elise Yung

I have no address listed under my company name when I click on Company & Adviser Info, should this cause the same issue as I have tried every combination with Company Name and Address and nothing is working.

I have just wasted 2 hours... The business address is wrong, where they (RECKON) get this from Gawd only knows still getting the error for the company name etc. Followed all the help files...

Hi Elise, Were you able to update your address at all please? I'm having the issues and can't find a way to get the address updated/entered. Can't send my payroll file through... Thx!

Hi Gary, Did you get it sorted mate? I'm having the same issue but how the hell do I get the address updated!?!?

Thanks!

No... still cant send a file. The pull down address doesnt show our business at all

The address details are pulled from the accounting software ie. Reckon Accounts Business, Reckon Accounts Hosted, Payroll Premier etc.

Go into the Company Information section in your respective software and input your address details. The address will then update in GovConnect STP on the next upload.

Bugger.... I'm on the phone to the ATO at the moment to see if they know anything to help.

I've done that Rav - and it's all perfect in my Reckon program.
It doesn't carry over to the file.

Im the same, its been there for 5 years and hasn't changed, but the govt connect part still doesnt display it
?

It will carry over on the next new file ie. new upload you carry out.

It won't be an instant update but if you've done that, press Ctrl+F5 to hard refresh the browser.

worked this time

..... do we receive a confirmation once submitted

Go into the individual payrun itself and you'll see a ATO message at the top of the page which will show whether it's successful or requires further attention.

just states SUBMITTED. I will check tomorrow and see what has occured

ERRROR

The following error messages have been returned from the ATO and need to be reviewed. You may need to make changed in your accounting product before submitting again.

Error message

The requestId is valid, but the pull request is yet to be queued.

the address that RECKON has is not the correct one, still Its out by one suburb

Gary, check out this thread for info on what that message means - https://bit.ly/2Np3KYV

Rav, any idea on this error ?

Thanks RAV, will check back tomorrow and see what has happened

Hi everyone, for those who have got this upload to work... (like I think I might have just gotten it to!), once you have uploaded it I think the green strip at the top with 'Success' or similar, but is there now anywhere it is supposed to show up? How do I know it actually worked please? I would have thought it might show on the 'list' or something. Thanks guys. K

Hi,

I am having same issue - company address is entered in Payroll Premier (has been for 10+ years) but it's blank in GOV Connect? Is this why i am getting the invalid company error? I have done the company name fix as suggested in previous support note.

Make sure the Company name is EXACT in the 'legal name' box too, not just the company name field. I think that's where I had my luck change. It needed to match the gov connect EXACTLY including spaces, fullstops and capitals etc. Once I did that, and then did a new stp file creation, and tried to upload then it updated my address on govconnect too.

Thanks Kylie - do you mean in Payroll Premier - where it says 'Company Name' (doesnt say "legal name") - do you think i need to change the 'Trading Name' as well to match or can i leave that as the normal trading name?

I use Accounts Premier 2018 - Company Information - The top box is Contact Information with Company name, Then the second box is Legal Information 'Legal Name'.
