Hi there,

We decided to set up separate MYOB accounts for our Payroll this financial year to help us with reporting different parts of our business.

The new software will be paying 5 employees, and the original file paying the rest. SO same Business and ABN paying all employees.

I have set up the new file and set up STP, but it is saying i have not reported my previous software's BMS ID, and it keeps rejecting my STP report when i try to update.

Any advice on how i fix this issue?

Thank you :)

Hiya @Nadeene 👋


BMS Id is like the serial number for each instance of payroll. It's a key indicator and is essential for Income Statements, as the ATO publish Income Statements for each unique combination of ABN/Branch/BMS Id/Payroll Id.


You've set up a separate "accounts" for different reporting obligations.


Where exactly is the rejection occurring: as you are trying to generate the file, or after you have declared and sent it? If it's part of the setup, then that's a question for your payroll product provider, not the ATO.


There is a field in an UPDATE that is for the Replacement Method when you transfer YTD amounts mid-FY to another payroll product, as per the ATO STP2 Employer Guidance, but you would only enter that for those circumstances. If you have a new instance of payroll at the start of the FY, you need not use the Replacement Method.
