AU Payroll - How to Select the Pay Company Superannuation Funds

When initially creating a pay company record or after a pay company record has been created, the superannuation funds to which the pay company pays superannuation contributions can be selected and the employer number can be specified for each fund. The employer number is the unique policy number that a superannuation fund uses to recognise the pay company that is paying superannuation contributions on behalf of its payees.

The superannuation funds and employer numbers that are recorded against the pay company record are used when reporting on superannuation contributions and allows superannuation reports to output all information that the pay company needs to provide to a superannuation fund when paying contributions to the fund.

Any of the superannuation funds that are added to the pay company can also be selected as the default fund for the pay company. For more information, see How to Configure the Pay Company Default Settings.

Before a superannuation fund can be selected on a pay company record, the details of the superannuation fund must be configured under Payroll > Maintenance > Superannuation > Funds. For more information, see Superannuation Maintenance.
