Non-default superannuation schemes are created in much the same way as the default process. See Set Up Superannuation Funds. However, for all non-default superannuation schemes, select Superannuation Scheme in the Payee Category drop-down menu. When you select this option, the General section does not display additional parameters as it does for the default superannuation category. Instead, you need to manually add parameters for the Australian Business Number (ABN) and Unique Superannuation Identifier (USI) to the Parameters section of the payee details. You need to fill out these fields in the deduction definition or payroll election, depending on how the deduction is configured. The USI and ABN are used in the SuperStream Alternative File-Format (SAFF) file that is generated at payroll commit.
Before You Begin:
The Unique Superannuation Identifier (USI), Australian Business Number (ABN), and reference codes of the superannuation scheme/fund in the Payees tab of Payroll Setup > Third Party Payees have the following importance:
- The USI and ABN are used in the SAFF file that is generated at payroll commit. For general information on adding parameters, see Add Parameters to Payees.
- Reference codes, also known as cross-reference codes, are used in Dayforce, usually in exports and imports, to integrate into other applications and systems used by your organisation. Reference codes can also help you identify the different elements in the application in the scripts and processes that export your organisation's data.
The following is a screenshot of these parameters configured:
