Can you lodge BAS electronically straight from Reckon hosted yet?

    Hi Linda

    Pre-myGovID, it used to be possible - I'm not at home to test it but I don't believe it prefills the labels directly in the ATO (Online Services) portal anymore (but I could be wrong!)

    It does take you to the portal login page via this Lodge button though:

    Once your BAS window in RAH (as per above) is prefilled correctly, give it a try ... I'd be interested to determine this if you can post back here to let me know ? 😊

    Hi Linda

    BAS lodgement directly from within the software isn't available at the moment. I would encourage you to raise a feature request on our Ideas Portal linked below -

    Our dev team looks at ideas & requests by users that are popular in terms of votes from fellow users to form the basis of future updates where feasible.

    Thank you. Clients don't really have time for feature requests. It's not like lodging from the software is a new thing that needs a request. I'll just send then Xero's way. Thank you.

    Hi Linda

    In Reckon's defence, the reason it's not as simple as the process in Xero is because Xero is completely online/in the cloud whereas RAH is actually accessed remotely, on Reckon's servers.

    In addition to that, the base coding of the Reckon Accounts (incl Hosted) program is originally owned by Intuit (with Reckon having been granted license to develop it for the next 100 years) Unfortunately, this does also mean some features are hard-coded & can't be changed & some may be editable but more complex to tweak.

    I don't know if automated direct BAS lodgment is still possible as I'm not home to check it at the moment, but if not, it may be one of the features that's a little more tricky to enable for full functionality đŸ˜Ŧ

    RAH is Reckon's "top" version & is far superior in its base features (even just in searching & reporting alone) - & pricing - than any other accounting product on the market, especially the cloud ones.
