Setting Up Payment Summary Information

Before you can process payment summaries, you must verify that the information in the system is set up correctly to ensure that the payment summaries that you create are valid. Invalid payment summaries might not be accepted by the ATO.

You must verify this information before you process payment summary information:

  • Payroll history.

  • Company address.

  • Company regional information.

  • Employee names.

  • Payment summary reporting codes in user-defined code (UDC) 06/S2.

  • Foreign employment date records.

In addition, you must ensure that PDBAs used in payment summary reporting are associated with the appropriate reporting codes and that processing options for all of the payment summary programs are set correctly.
