Understanding the Electronic Payment Summary File

After you have created payment summaries and reviewed them for accuracy, you can generate the electronic file that you use to report payment summary information to the ATO. You use the Create ATO Extract File EMPDUPE program (R75A0145) to generate this file.

You can run this program in test mode to verify that the information contained in the file is correct. After you verify this information, you can run the program in production mode to generate the actual file that you will send to the ATO.

Note:

If you are placing more than one file on the electronic media that you are submitting to the ATO, you must name each file sequentially, according to ATO regulations. For example, if you place three files on one tape, you should name those files EMPDUPE.A01, EMPDUPE.A02, and EMPDUPE.A03. You specify the name of the output file in the processing options.

Additionally, if you want to save the output files to the local PC, you must map this job to run locally on the machine.

You must specify the type of software that you are using to produce the EMPDUPE file. Each time that the software is upgraded, this system identification changes. Contact the system administrator for assistance with correctly identifying the software type and release.

Do not include commas or full stops when you enter the address information in the processing options. Use of these characters will cause the ATO to reject the electronic submission.

See JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools System Administration Guide.

After you create the EMPDUPE files that you want to submit to the ATO, contact the system administrator for assistance with copying these files to the appropriate electronic media.

Note: If you create your EMPDUPE file in a Linux, Unix, or AIX environment, the ATO's Electronic Commerce Interface (ECI) will not accept the file. Currently, the ATO accepts files created on Windows and Mac environments. If you created your file using a Linux, Unix, or AIX environment, you must open the EMPDUPE file, and delete the last position of each record, which is a space, before submitting your file to the ATO.
