# Multiple ABN Submissions

**Marlin HR**'s Payday Assist integration automatically submits super payment files to SuperChoice with each pay run.

This is the current workaround for when SuperChoice **cannot validate any data beyond the ABN** for files sent automatically through the Payday Super Assist integration.

It is a **manual upload method** to create a file, then upload it yourself.

Uploading the file manually lets SuperChoice validate the full file, and will remain the workaround process **until the issue is resolved**.

The process has **two parts**:

- **[Part 1 (in HR):](/hr/docs/manual-superchoice-submissions#part-1-creating-superstream-files-in-hr)** Generate the SuperStream payment file.
- **[Part 2 (in SuperChoice Employer Portal):](/hr/docs/manual-superchoice-submissions#part-2-uploading-and-submiting-files-to-superchoice)** Upload, validate, review, submit and pay.

## Before Starting

This is a **one-time set up in HR**.

Getting these details right first **prevents your file from being rejected** by the SuperChoice clearing house.

Complete these under **System > Superannuation Funds** and in **Employee Maintenance** (Main > Customers > Manage Customers):

- **Fund identifiers:** Ensure details are correct for each fund that has been flagged for inclusion.
- **Super Funds:** Make sure it has the correct USI (Unique Superannuation Identifier)
- **SMSF (self managed) funds:** Leave the USI blank.
  - Enter the fund's ABN,
  - Its Electronic Service Address (ESA)
  - And account details
- Tick **Include in Super Payment file** for every fund you want in the file
- **Employee membership numbers:** Check each employee's Member Number in the Entitlements tab or Employee Maintenance and in the Deductions section of the Pay Details tab.
  - Only letters, numbers, hyphens and forward slashes are allowed; no spaces.
  - If a number is unknown, leave it blank  

(Never use dummy numbers like "11111111").
- **Employee addresses:** Make sure there are no commas in Address Line 1 or 2, in the Personal tab.
  - Commas will cause the file to be rejected
  - Use a forward slash or split across the two address lines instead

### New Employees Without Fund Details

Set them up with a **generic fund** (e.g. Funded/Unfunded Super).

- Do not tick **Include in Super Payment File**.

**Once the correct fund details are known**, you need to correct this using two adjustment pay runs.

**First Adjustment Pay Run:**

- Leave **Funded/Unfunded Super** selected in Employee Maintenance
- Then perform a pay run to **take super back out of the balance** in HR:
  - Should only have **that one employee** on it
  - Enter amount as **Employer Super Adjustment**  

(Not the Employer Additional Super Adjustment)
  - Enter amount and select **Reduce** (not Add)
- This **won't send a super payment file** to SuperChoice, since the pay run only contains that employee and a negative super amount

**Second Adjustment Pay Run:**

- Update the employee with the **correct fund** in Employee Maintenance
- Then perform a pay run to **add the super into the correct fund**
  - Should only have **that one employee** on it
  - Enter amount as **Employer Super Adjustment**  

(Not the Employer Additional Super Adjustment)
  - Enter amount and select **Add** (not Reduce)
- The file will be **automatically sent to SuperChoice** via the Payday Super integration  

(no manual uploading required, since they now have a Payday Assist enabled Super Fund selected)

## Part 1: Creating SuperStream Files in HR

**Run and check your Superannuation Report** as normal (Reports > Superannuation Report), so you know the figures are correct before generating the file.

Select the **Payment File** tab.

**Enter the date range** of pay runs to display, based on each pay run's "Pay To" date. By default only pay runs not already included in a previous file are shown.

To re-create a file, tick **Show pay runs already included on a Super Payment File**.

**Choose which pay runs to include:** All listed pay runs are ticked by default; use the checkboxes and the All / None / Invert buttons to adjust.

Click **Generate** to preview the data before the file is created.

If the preview looks right, click **Create Payment File**, then Yes to confirm.

HR will show the **filename** (e.g. `SF19923.txt`) and confirm it is saved in the folder labelled "SuperFile" inside the MarlinHR folder.

This is where you can **get the file** from.

Warning

**Do not open the payment file in Excel or any other program before uploading.** Opening it changes the contents and prevents it from being uploaded.

To review what's in a file, use **Reports > Report Keeper**. A copy is saved there automatically when the file is created.

Note

**Only one manual payment file can be created at a time:** Each file must therefore be created individually.

## Part 2: Uploading and Submitting Files to SuperChoice

**Log in** to the SuperChoice Employer Portal.

Select **Upload a new contribution file**.

- Available from the **SuperStream panel**, the **toolbar**, or the **Navigation menu**

During the **Select Pay Cycle** step:

- Choose **Use Dates in File**, since the file created in HR already contains the period start and end dates
- Click **Select File to Upload** and select the file you saved from HR.
- Confirm the date choice and file are correct,
- Then click **Next**.

You'll see the message **The following employer matching exceptions have occurred**:

- From the **Pick an Employer** dropdown, select which Branch/Store you are uploading the file for
- Then proceed

**Resolve any validation issues** the Portal flags (e.g. USI corrections).

- **Fix the root cause in HR**, so your next upload does not go into error for the same reason  

(Edits made in the Portal only affect this one upload)

On the **Review** screen:

- **Check** the data
- Then click **Next** to continue  

(this button is only enabled once all errors are resolved)

On the **Summary and Submit** screen:

- Review the **grand totals**
- And confirm the **payment summary** details

Click **Confirm and Send**.

## After Submitting

Use the **Contributions** tab and the **payment status** icons in SuperChoice to check the payment file has gone through successfully.

- Look for a **green tick** in the Issue column
