Hi
If using Reckon accounts hosted do I need to enter all of the employees super information into the colonial first state super clearing house or will those details be drawn across from Reckon Hosted?
Hi @Melandjas123
The purpose of the SAFF file is for it to transfer that data in for you (so it does need to be complete & accurate in your Hosted file first though!) 😁
Once all your information in Reckon is correct you will have to wait for a payroll after that time to import a Saff file, not prior to before you had it all setup
once all the super info is correct in Reckon you can upload a Saff file from that date on, not a previous period
sorry for the duplicated entries, had a glitch
Hi All
I understand all of this but the Reckon Hosted software will have to be updated to include fund ABN etc won't it before I can start using the Colonial Clearing house. I am currently using the SBSCH or do I have to enter all of the information into Colonial. I just don't understand what I need to do where!
@Melandjas123 Reckon Accounts doesn't need an update for SuperStream, it's been able to do it for years.
You need to setup your super funds and employees. There's a guide Reckon shared in the announcement, you need to follow that
you need to enter all the info into Reckon first and when you export a SAFF file it will enter all the employees into Colonial
@Sloan do you know where I can find the guide?
no you only need the ABN if it’s a SMSF. If that’s is the case you need to enter a supplier for the super fund name, you then can enter ABN & bank details in there. Then you add a payroll item for super for that fund and link it to the super supplier. In the clearing house you will have to add a fund for the SMSF and fill out details including bank details. Then you add the newly created super payroll item to the employee
@Melandjas123 look at the info from reckon in their announcement here

There is a guide linked in there to get setup.
