Duplicate STP Entry

I have detected that many months ago I upload an STP entry then realised I missed an employee from the report and uploaded the correct report. However I must have selected "new pay run" instead of replacing it. Now I have two entries for the same date and one needs to be deleted

I would ring the ATO and ask for their advice first Cathie.

I have just got off the phone from The ATO ... they said to talk with reckon first

Can anyone at reckon help with this issue???

Hi Michael

STP lodgements update YTD totals each submission (rather than reporting that submission’s totals) so if you have uploaded subsequent STP lodgement(s) since, this should have corrected the YTD balances.

You can check by comparing the employees’ YTD balances in GovConnect (under the “Details” link) v a modified YTD Payroll Summary report in RA, with columns showing totals per pay period (eg weekly, fortnightly)

TIP: This report should be run as part of your STP process to ensure your submissions are correct each lodgement.

Thanks Shaz... Are you saying that if there is 2 uploads for the same date with different totals because of adjustments ..that the ATO system will only recognize the second corrected totals???

A second thing I've noticed is that, even though I have been diligent in sending all payrolls to STP, none of my staff totals are appearing as correct in the ato portal .. all are considerably short..
Any ideas??

Hi Michael

Yes, the STP submissions are timestamped so the ATO would recognise the latest as the most current.

Regarding the YTD totals discrepancies …..

Are you referring to the Reckon Portal GovConnect totals or the totals reflected in your ATO Business Portal?

When you say they’re short, is this in comparison to the report I previously suggested generating?

Can you identify the first submission that the discrepancy occurred in? To do this compare the submission totals as shown in GovConnect with the report pay run total columns.

If there are discrepancies, I’d recommend getting a local Reckon Accredited Partner out to assist you 1-on-1. You can filter for & find a local Reckon Accredited Partner here:
