IRD Payday Filing Authentication Token Renewal Enhancement

Description

An enhancement has been made to the way that FastTrack360 obtains and renews login tokens, which allow the system to communicate to the New Zealand IRD gateway services for the purposes of sending Payday Filing submissions.

Previously, if you clicked the IRD Authentication button on the Payroll New Zealand> Maintenance > Pay Company > Pay Company Maintenance > Edit Pay Company > Pay Day Reporting screen, as highlighted in the example below, FastTrack360 automatically refreshed the existing login token so long as the login details, which were last used to log into the myIR portal, are still valid and the authentication status is OK.

Open

Now each time the IRD Authentication button is clicked, as highlighted in the example above, the current login token is cleared rather than being refreshed. In turn, that triggers FastTrack360 to make a call to the myIR portal, which prompts you to log in with a valid username and password. On successful login, FastTrack360 obtains a new login token that corresponds to the username and password that has been provided, as opposed to username and password that correspond to the previous token.

Benefits

This enhancement allows you to change the username and password that enables FastTrack360 to interact with the IRD. For example, if the IRD login credentials that were previously used to interact with the IRD belong to an individual who no longer works for your business, this allows the login credentials to be updated to a set of credentials that are associated with your business.

Configuration

No configuration required.
