Recreate a new SAFF or ClickSuper payment batch/file when a payment has failed

You may need to regenerate a Superannuation payment batch if one or more payments failed when submitting them to your clearing house, and/or if superfund details and/or super payment amounts were incorrect.

If this occurs, you can now regenerate a super payment file with the updated information from the Super Payments menu (Payroll, Process Payroll, Payday Super, Super Payments). Follow the steps below to do this.

  1. Navigate to Payroll, Process Payroll, Payday Super, Super Payments.

  2. Click on the Super Payments History tab.

  3. Locate the batch you need to record the outcome of:

    • If you have NOT recorded the outcome previously, click the Record Outcome button on the right-hand side of the batch record.

    • If you HAVE already recorded the outcomes for this batch, click the Amend link on the right-hand side of the batch record.

  4. Mark the batch status as:

    • Mark All Failed (if all batch payments failed), then click on the Fail Batch button. The message will display as 0 Paid x Failed - will be re-queued.

After correcting the incorrect super payments, to re-generate a new super payment batch, follow the steps below:

If your Export Settings are set to use the SAFF format:

  1. A new version batch will be generated, with the failed records removed from the original batch.

  2. Go to Navigate to Payroll, Process Payroll, Payday Super, Super Payments.

  3. The failed records will then be re-queued in the Generate Super Payment tab.

  4. You can select those payments and then click the Generate Super Payment button to include them in a new batch. See: Payday Superannuation - Generating a super payment.

If your Export Settings are set to use the ClickSuper format:

⚠️Important: The re-queued transactions in the Generate Super Payment tab will NOT display the updated (corrected) super details until the payments have been re-generated. See the section below on how to display the updated details.


Viewing your updated super payment details in the re-generated batch

Once you generate the new super payment you can see the updated details in the newly created super payments batch in the Super Payment History tab. In the example below:
