Exporting local copies of STP Events

Exporting a local copy of an STP Pay Event

There may be occasions where you need to save a local copy of an STP PE file. One example will be where the HR3 support desk needs to check the content of the file to determine why you are receiving a validation error on a PE. The Export options are designed to cater for this. Access STP Uploads via Single Touch Payroll button on menu bar - click drop-down arrow and select Upload

2. To save a local copy of a payrun PE, select Export a local copy of an STP payrun upload, then click Next.

This screen will automatically display payruns for the past twelve months. You may want to click the 3 or 6 buttons to display payruns for that number of months, or the All button to show all payruns:

You may also click the Include Processed button: if you want to see payruns that have previously been processed through to STP during the time frame specified. Note: you can select a payrun that has previously been submitted to the ATO for export although you cannot re-submit it.

4. Check the Select box for the required payrun – i.e. the payrun details that are to be exported.
5. Click Next to display the Export screen:



Note that if you are exporting payruns on behalf of a bureau, the Disclaimer Statement you see here will be slightly different.

7. Specify the name of the export file (default is STP-RunNo-Date.json) and the folder that you wish to save the file to.
