CSV File to upload to clearing house

Hi All,

Just wondering if there will be a Super file with all the relevant information to upload to our Super clearing house in the future? Mostly want to get a head start on July 2026 when it needs to be sent each pay run.

At present it can take me nearly 2 hrs to enter manually (with new employees to enter also ect). Do not want to do that every pay run.

Cheers

Lisa

Hi Lisa

Reckon Accounts has the option to create a SAFF file for upload to your clearing house. The SAFF file is a .csv in the SAFF format (Superannuation Alternative File Format) required for SuperStream.

Check out more info here - Configuring Reckon Accounts Business and Hosted for SuperStream

So that would all be in the accounting side of things to set them up as Suppliers? I take it I would need the accounting department to set up Suppliers as I only do the Payroll side. From what I can see since I commenced earlier this year only a handful of super funds have been set up as Suppliers years ago. So I have alot to set up and we do not have bank details for any of the funds. I take it this information has to be entered going by your link info?

Hi @Jody

This feature already exists! Under the Employees dropdown menu, you can export & upload a SAFF File via the Super Data Export:

Yes, all applicable funds need to be set up as Suppliers with the relevant bank details entered, for payment.

If the file is uploaded to a Clearing House why are the bank details required for the individual super funds?

Hi Maureen,

I found I didn't end up needing bank details. The super fund clearing houses we use (I use 2 different ones due to multiple payruns and companies) and they get you to send through a csv file and check it for compatibility and help you choose the correct file set up (mainly seems to be how the date configuration is in your csv file). I've had no issues.

Apologies @Maureen_PDM !

Bank details are compulsory for ABA files but not for SAFF files 🤦🏻‍♀️😁
