Attaché Payroll (Australia): Payday Superannuation - Generating a super payment

Generate a super contribution payment file for ClickSuper or SuperStream Alternate File Format (SAFF)

As part of the process of Payday Superannuation, use the Super Payments menu Generate Super Payment tab to create your super payment file, to be able to upload the file to your superannuation clearing house.

The Super Payments menu supersedes the previous menus for creating SAFF and ClickSuper files:

  • Payroll, Reports, Superannuation, SuperStream Alternate File.

  • Payroll, Reports, Superannuation, ClickSuper.


Set up your Export Settings

Before you create your first super payment file, setup your Export Settings, where you will set your settings to SAFF or ClickSuper, depending on your requirements or you current super clearing house.


Using ClickSuper as your clearing house if you have not used it previously

If you plan to use ClickSuper as your clearing house and export setting, but have not used it previously, you will need to register with ClickSuper prior to generating your first super payment.


Create a Super Payment file

  1. Go to Payroll, Process Payroll, Payday Super, Super Payments, or click Super Payment from the Process Pays workflow. This will default on the Generate Super Payment tab.

  2. Enter the date range of the pay (if needed). The date range is based on the Pay period ending date.

  3. Check the amount in Total Unpaid Super field to see if that is the correct amount. Use the Pay Totals report (Payroll, Reports, History, Pay Totals) to correlate the values.

  4. Tick the box besides the Employee column header, this will include all employees in the list. You can select individual employes by ticking the box next to each employee or select all employees then de-select individual employees as required.

  5. Click on Generate Super Payment button.

  6. Check the details in the Generate Super Payment window, then click the Confirm and Generate button to generate the file.

  7. If your Export Settings are set to ClickSuper, and you have previously had ClickSuper set up in your payroll, when you select Confirm and Generate, instead of creating an export file, the file will automatically transfer to ClickSuper.

  8. If your Export Settings are set to the SuperStream format, a Save As window will pop up and you can save the output file to your designated network folder location.

  9. See: Payday Superannuation - Super Payment History tab for how to view generated payday super batches, record, amend and re-generate super payment batches.
