Upload a contribution file

AccountRight Plus and Premier, Australia only

A contribution file contains all the information required to make super contributions for your employees. You create a contribution file in the Pay Superannuation window of your MYOB software. For help creating the contribution file, see your MYOB's software's help.

Once you have a contribution file, you can upload it into MYOB's super portal.

Log in to the MYOB super portal.

If the dashboard does not appear, click the Navigation button at the top of the portal's page, and select Dashboard.

In the Contributions panel, click Contribute today and then select Upload a new file.

Click Select File to upload. Find and select the contribution file you want to upload. Click Next.

The file is uploaded and some checks are done on the data contained in the file. If there are any exceptions (issues), you'll need to fix them.

Employer Exceptions

If your business' ABN is not in the file you're uploading, you'll be asked to confirm which business you want to upload the file for. Make sure that the employer you select is correct and then click Apply to All.

To avoid this issue again, enter your ABN in your MYOB software. In AccountRight you do this in the Setup menu > Company Information window. In Essentials...

Member Exceptions

If you haven't specified the employee's super fund, or the details were incomplete in your MYOB software, you'll be asked to specify the fund to make the payment to. Click Save once you've selected the correct fund for the employee. The employee is removed from the list when the exception is fixed.

If the employee already existed, and their details have changed, you'll need to choose whether to add a new employee with the new details, or update the existing record with the new data.

Validation Issues

If there's other missing information for an employee, select the employee name and then click on the information section that has the issue (indicated in red). Fill in any information that's missing or that's formatted incorrectly.

For example, if you haven't entered the employee's birth date, enter it now.

Note: The country must be entered as the code AU, not Australia.

To avoid this issue again, update the contact records in your MYOB software with any of the changes you make in the super portal for the employee.

Click Next when you've finished entering the employee details.

Review

Now you can see all contributions that you're about to process. Review the details, and fix any issues that are highlighted with a red border.

At this point you can also review the employee's contact information. Click the person icon in the Action column to view or make changes.

If all contribution details are correct, click Next.

Summary and Submit

The summary page shows the contributions that will be made to each fund. Ensure that you're sending the contributions to the correct fund (some funds have very similar names).

The Payment Reference is what you'll see on your bank statement to identify the payment that's being made. You can change it if you want.

If you're not ready to make the payment, or aren't authorised to submit the payment, click Save and Hold. Note that changes can't be made once you click this button.

If the Confirm and Send button is available and you want to make the payment now, click it and you're done.

If done before 3:30pm, goes through same business day, otherwise next business day.

Status will show as green icon for Confirm and Send in the Contribution History window.

Can choose to download the ORIGINAL csv file (download icon), or view the details (the grid icon).
