Basic Principles
- When a Data Set file is created, it is linked to a specific MYOB® company file. This Data Set file can only be linked to that original MYOB® company file, or a copy thereof. It cannot be linked to a different company file as Payee IDs and Cat ID's will be different in different files.
- If a Payroll Category (based on Cat ID) exists in the linked MYOB® company file, it must also exist in the Data Set file. The number in both must match. Do not delete a Payroll Category from the Data Set file just because you don't use it.
- If a Payee (based on Payee ID) exists in the linked MYOB® company file, it must also exist in the Data Set file. The number in both must match. Do not delete a Payee from the Data Set file just because you no longer pay them.
At various stages of the STP Creator process, checks are made to ensure details in the Data Set file match details in the linked MYOB® company file. Specifically that an ID referenced in the Data Set file actually exists in the MYOB® company file (and vice versa).
If a discrepancy is detected, you will see a message similar to the one below:
If this message appears because you have linked a different MYOB® company file to this Data Set file, you should click Cancel. Then use Browse 3 to link the correct MYOB® company file.
If this messages appears when the Data Set file is linked to the correct MYOB® company file, this could be caused by:
- An employee was paid in MYOB®, however the payroll transaction has since been deleted
- An employee was added to the MYOB® company file and later deleted from this company file
- A payroll category has been used in MYOB® however the payroll transaction has since been deleted
- A payroll category was added to the MYOB® company file and later deleted from this company file
If any of these have happened in the linked MYOB® company file, you should:
- open Payroll Category Mapping from the Permanent Data Set screen and click 'Update from Company File' - follow the prompts if prompted to make changes, then
- open Select Payees from the Permanent Data Set screen and click 'Update from Company File' - follow the prompts if prompted to make changes, then
- try completing Steps 2, 3 and 4 from the Main Screen.
