Resubmitting STP file

I need to resubmit an STP payrun from July but when I go to the STP lodgement window the drop down date button only goes back to September. I have tried changing the type of payevent but the dates stay the same. How do I rectify this?

Hi Maria

STP lodgements update YTD totals each submission (rather than reporting that submission’s totals) so if you have uploaded subsequent STP lodgement(s) since, you don’t need to replace an older STP file as your subsequent submissions will have “updated” these YTD balances

Hi @Shaz

I realise this is an old thread but it 'kind of' relates and I didn't want to begin a new discussion...

I understand what you mentioned above, to quote you: "STP lodgements update YTD totals each submission (rather than reporting that submission’s totals) so if you have uploaded subsequent STP lodgement(s) since, you don’t need to replace an older STP file as your subsequent submissions will have “updated” these YTD balances"

To make sure I'm not stressing unnecessarily, I have received the "error" message 5 times on an STP submission on 3/4/23 due to "JSON object has some incorrect values". This was found in overseas workers' names entered by my book keeper trying to be fancy with her keyboard... but...

As time has now lapsed for me to submit again correctly, (14 days isn't it???) Will this mistake affect:

1) The PAYGW amount I am about to pay via Reckon's Payroll Total reports vs the amounts I have submitted successfully for April via STP? and

2) What if (given the highly transient nature of overseas workers) some of these people only worked that 1 week? And therefore their YTD was only in that one pay cheque?

Thank you very much, your responses in so many posts are always like finding "gold" for me! ☺️

Thank you for those kind words @GlynisFNQ !

The ATO are still pretty lenient regarding STP submission timeframes - particularly if you're usually a regular submitter - so don't worry on that.

Eventually - once STP 2 is fully implemented & adopted by everyone - W1 & W2 will actually be prefilled by your submitted STP data. Note: It's not at that point yet & even when it is, you WILL still be able to edit these figures if they're incorrect as occasional errors are human nature & expected.

So ....

Just pay the correct amount for April - This will all be reconciled when finalised.
The finalisation process - at the end of the financial year - pulls in ALL pays, regardless of whether the employee is still employed with you/Active or not, so that part's not a problem. Even if an employee has only receive one Paycheque, it will be included.

Were you/your bookkeeper able to actually identify & fix that particular error ? If so, then the finalisation will incorporate those figures. If not, you're likely to get the error again when trying to submit the finalisation, so just ensure that's corrected before you submit the Finalise Year 😊
