    Hi @mel_10460334

    What was the pay date entered for that particular pay run?

    Its the pay date that determines where the pay run belongs so if that specific pay run has been dated with a pay date in July then that's where it will be allocated to.

    If it’s allocated in the wrong month do I have to delete that pay run and re submit it

    Hi @mel_10460334

    If you've made a mistake with the pay date then you can edit the existing pay run by switching it to draft and amending the pay date.

    In regard to your question around the BAS pre-fill with STP Phase 2, I'll add some context below.

    There are two elements that are included and sent in a STP submission; employee data which is the employee's running YTD balance and employer data which includes total gross and tax amounts for that specific pay run and is what the ATO use to prefill for BAS.

    Historically when a submission is missed and the next one sent in its place, or if the same submission is sent twice/multiple times, it hasn't made too much of a difference until now because all its done is overwrite/update the employee's YTD balances.

    However, now that pre-filling for BAS is in the mix, it makes things a tad more complicated and I feel that it potentially puts the emphasis back on a couple of things; not missing a submission or sending it multiple times and also ensuring that its correct before its sent.

    Obviously, that won't always be the case 100% of the time as mistakes happen but when it comes down to it, the payroll software is what you should lean on as your source of truth so if the BAS prefill isn't matching, then adjust/amend the W1 & W2 prefill amounts in the ATO Portal where needed. Hopefully that isn't something you need to do often and I'm sure this process will become more streamlined as prefill continues to progress/evolve over time.
