How to Edit Existing Contribution Payment Periods

1.

If the relevant record is not already open in the Contribution Payment Period Entry screen, find an existing contribution payment period and open the record.

The Contribution Payment Period Entry screen displays.

2.

In the Name and Description fields, key in a new name and/or description for the contribution payment period if required.

3.

To change the active status of the contribution payment period, click the Active field. For example, if the contribution payment period is not currently available to be assigned to super funds, click Active until a tick is displayed.

4.

If necessary, remove any existing payment periods for the contribution payment period by clicking in the calendar button next to the relevant payment period in the Payment Period Details table.

Note that payment periods can only be removed on a one-by-one basis, starting with the last period. Note also that you cannot remove a period that has a start date that falls on or before the date of the last pay batch in which the contribution payment period was used, as indicated by the Last Pay Batch Date field.

If necessary, add payment periods to the contribution payment period record. For more information, see below.
