Single Touch Payroll – Your first Pay Run in Accentis

Now that Single Touch Payroll is here, you will need to do your very first STP pay run. Everyone will have that moment of “so what do I do?”. Please read on and we will help you out.

Have you registered?
  • You must sign up with a Transport Provider who sends your STP payroll data securely to the ATO.
  • If you have not already signed up, please see our user guide that will show you what to do next. If you HAVE already registered, then please read on.
Has your system been configured?

Once you have registered with an STP transport provider, you also need to configure a few things in Accentis Enterprise. Please read 3. Configure STP system preferences in our user guide to see what to do.

If you have any trouble, doing this, please let us know by emailing [email protected]

Your first pay run – what do you do?

So everything is ready to go, and you’ve lit the fuse … how do you know it is all working?

After your first pay run, once it has been APPLIED, you will be asked a question, "Would you like to lodge Single Touch Payroll data for this pay run now"?

  • If you DO NOT see this message, then please review the steps above and then contact Accentis Support and we’ll help you out.
  • If you DO see this message, then guess what? You are ready to send your first load of data to the ATO automatically. It’s that easy!
What next?

If you have no errors pop up when you are lodging, then everything has gone according to plan.

To check the status of your STP lodgements, run the report Payroll > Report > STP Dashboard (SA4422 - STP Dashboard). This will show any errors that have occurred and will update the status of your lodgment to the ATO.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact [email protected]
