  4. Enter the 11-digit Australian Business Number (ABN) for the legal entity in the Federal/Business ID Number field.
  5. Select the Active checkbox.
  6. In the Start Date field, enter the date that the legal entity becomes active. Optionally, in the End Date field, enter a date that the legal entity becomes inactive.
