When an STP Reporting Event fails validation, this event will display under Reported Pay Events as an audit trail and cannot be reported again.
Once you have resolved the issue that caused an STP error, you will need to report the failed STP event through STP Update. You can submit an STP Update event at any time for the current financial year. STP Update replaces the employees' Income Statement Year to Date values but won't be included in the Business Activity Statement (BAS) Summary in the ATO's Business Portal.
In most instances, your failed event will be missing from the BAS Summary in the ATO's Business Portal, and you will need to manually amend your figures.
