STP file edit

Rob_9593369

Sucks to get old 😅 Last weeks STP appears in the portal dated 29-12-2023, instead of 29-11-2023.

I don't know where I made the mistake - prolly where you enter the pay date in the payrun. I don't think you have to enter a date in the portal.

The chqs appear with the correct date of 29-11-2023 in Reckon, and the STP has lodged successfully albeit dated a month into the future 😅

Anyway, question is do I need to edit it, given it will be in the same quarter? If so, how?

Thanks in anticipation, Rob.

Hi Rob

STP updates based on the most current date so whilst it doesn’t matter at the moment, your subsequent submissions - prior to that advanced dated one - won’t be recognised as the most current/latest.

Therefore, my suggestion would be to amend the Paycheque date then export & submit an Update Event (or Full File Replacement, depending on the timeframe) to bring it all back into line again ☺️

Thanks Shaz,

How do I amend the paycheque date? As I said - the chqs appear in Reckon with the correct date, which is weird.

I can't find where to access previous payruns so as to to edit it?

Again, do I need to bother, considering it's all in the same quarter?

Thanks, Rob

Ah OK, so the actual Paycheques DO have the correct date on then ?

Did you just name the STP file with the incorrect date ?

Rob_9593369

Yep, the pay chqs appear with the correct date.

I guess I must have saved the STP with the incorrect date.

I didn't think you had to date the STP file when saving though?

No, most people don’t so - as long as the Paycheques are dated correctly - I don’t think it will matter …. Not sure if it will change the display order though 🤔

(I always date the file as per the pay date so I can identify them easily)

I've opened the STP file in text - it all seems good. I'll just let sleeping dogs lie.

It just bothers my OCD self that the display order is wrong. I'll get over it 😅

Thanks again for your help Shaz.

Cheers, Rob.
