Understanding Superannuation Reporting

After you have recorded superannuation payments, you must report the payment information to employees. Contact the ATO directly for the most current information regarding reporting dates and requirements.

You report superannuation information to employees by printing the information on the payment advice slips that you create during the payments step of the payroll cycle. To do so, you use the Generic Payment Advice for Australia & New Zealand program (R75A0013). The system prints all payment records that exist in the Superannuation Payment table that do not have a date in the Date Printed field. After the system prints the record on an employee's payment advice slip, the system enters the payment date in the Date Printed field. This prevents the system from reprinting payment information on subsequent payment advice slips. If you must modify or reprint superannuation payment information on an employee's advice slip, you must first clear the print date from the payment record in the Superannuation Payment table. The system prints all records in the Superannuation Payment table that do not have a print date the next time that you process payment advice slips.

Note: You create payment advice slips during the payment step of the payroll cycle. You cannot process the Generic Payment Advice for Australia & New Zealand program outside of the payroll cycle.
