If a new employee selects your default super fund but doesn’t yet have a membership number, you can still process payroll. Beam will handle the new member when the batch is submitted.
When you set up the employee:
Select the company's default super fund.
Leave the membership number blank.
Process pays and the Super Clearing batch as normal.
The company's default super fund is nominated on the Superannuation tab of the Payroll Company (Payroll, Maintenance, General).
When the batch is submitted:
Beam will send an MRR (Member Registration Request) to the default fund via SuperStream.
The fund responds with an MROR (Member Registration Outcome Response) confirming whether the registration is accepted.
If accepted, the fund creates the account, allocates contributions, and sends the employee their welcome pack or equivalent information.
Once you have been notified of the employee's membership number, update the Super Fund details on the employee record.
