Summary

In Australian databases, you can use the Superannuation Direct Credit Schedule to reconcile the Superannuation CSV and Superannuation Summary reports. You can run the Superannuation Direct Credit Schedule on processed and closed pays, but you can run the Superannuation CSV and Superannuation Summary reports only on closed pays. You need to take this into account when you reconcile these reports.

The Superannuation Direct Credit Schedule report is based on the Direct Credit Schedule report, with the following differences:

• Additional report settings (Run Details field)
• Ability to run by superannuation fund (Superannuation Fund tab page).

You can direct credit employee PAYG income tax amounts to the ATO through the Direct Credit Schedule or the Superannuation Direct Credit Schedule. You need to set up the direct credit fields in Company Settings - Tax Details (Aus) and Internal Companies - Details (Aus).

Superannuation dates

Employee superannuation dates are checked when you process a pay, not when you run the Superannuation Direct Credit Schedule.

When you process a pay, payroll rules check the validity of the employee's superannuation records by comparing their end dates with the pay period dates. PayGlobal then creates superannuation transactions for all valid funds.

If you change an employee’s superannuation dates after you process the pay, then you must process the pay again for your changes to take effect. If you do not reprocess the pay, then the Superannuation Direct Credit Schedule will contain transactions for the original dates only.

PGPRPRIM002 or PGPRPRIM002S

The direct credit report that you use (PGPRPRIM002 or PGPRPRIM002S) depends on how you have set up your superannuation allowances and deductions.

You need to determine whether you will:

• Generate separate Direct Credit (EFT) files for payroll and superannuation so you can direct credit transactions at different times. In this scenario, we recommend that all superannuation allowances and deductions have Direct Credit = "No".

  - or -

• Direct credit superannuation on a pay-by-pay basis by including them in the normal payroll EFT file. In this scenario, we recommend that all superannuation allowances and deductions have Direct Credit = "Yes".

PGPRPRIM002 reports all allowances and deductions with Direct Credit = "Yes".

PGPRPRIM002S reports allowances and deduction based on the value that you select in the Run Details field in report settings.

• If all superannuation allowances and deductions have Direct Credit = "Yes", then run PGPRPRIM002 only.
• If all superannuation allowances and deductions have Direct Credit = "No", then:
  • For payroll, run PGPRPRIM002 or PGPRPRIM002S

    - and -

  • For superannuation, run PGPRPRIM002S with Run details = "O. Super Only".
• If some superannuation allowances and deductions have Direct Credit = "No" and some have Direct Credit = "Yes", then you need to carefully manage your PGPRPRIM002S setting to isolate superannuation transactions with Direct Credit = "No". Run PGPRPRIM002S with:
  • Run details = "O. Super Only"

    - and -

    Select all the relevant allowances and deductions on the Superannuation Funds tab.

Run Details

The Run details field has the following options:

• I. Include Super (Payroll and Superannuation)

  Report includes:

  • All allowances and deductions that have Direct credit = "Yes"

    - and -

  • Superannuation transactions where the allowance or deduction has Direct credit = "No".
• O. Super only (Superannuation only)

  Report includes super transactions only; regardless of the Direct credit setting in the allowance or deduction.

• N. No Super (Payroll only)

  Report includes all allowances and deductions that have Direct credit = "Yes", except those that are superannuation transactions.

Superannuation Funds tab

This tab page lists all the superannuation funds in the database, whether they are active or not. Click the check boxes for the superannuation funds that you want to report on.

Note: If an allowance or deduction is used for more than one superannuation fund, an error message will appear when you run the report.
