The steps below should only be completed if you are migrating to new payroll software and you are taking all the employees' year-to-date earnings. To avoid overstating the employees' earnings, you need to zero out all the earnings in MicrOpay Evo and send the STP Update Event to the ATO.
Take a Backup of your Payroll Database. This is a critical step.
Go to Payroll, Transactions, Import and Export, STP Adjustment.
Select Payroll Company. You can only choose one Company at a time.
Select Location or leave this as < ALL >.
Select Employee or tick All to include all employees.
Select Financial Year.
Click Apply.
Tick the checkbox on the left for each employee or click Select All.
Click Zero YTD Values.
You will receive a confirmation message: 'Are you sure want to Zero the YTD Values for the n selected employee(s)?'.
Select Yes to continue.
Complete the Declaration.
A message will appear prompting you to check the STP reporting screen. Click OK.
Go to Payroll, Transactions, Import and Export, STP Reporting.
The Event Type will display as Adjustment Event. The Status will initially state Received at Gateway.
Ensure the Status changes to Success Message Accepted.
Note: You can only use the Zero YTD Values button for the Current Financial Year.
