2. Create a Superannuation Remittance report in your payroll software
3. Click on the ‘Reports’ tab.
4. Select the ‘Superannuation Remittance Report’ and click [Next].
5. Specify the options for the report by selecting the applicable employees and contribution period. For a comprehensive report select ‘All Funds’. Click [Preview].
6. A preview of the report will appear. You can print, email or save the report as a PDF.
7. Login to your clearing house and manually enter the super payment for each employee.

1. The ‘Superannuation Payments’ screen will then appear. Select the correct contribution period. The payment date will default to today’s date. You also have the option to transfer the payment to Cashflow Manager. Click [Next].
2. The ‘Superannuation Payments’ screen will appear. Click on the [Create SuperStream File] button.
