About SuperStream in Reckon One

Learn how to use SuperStream to pay superannuation contributions to super funds in Reckon One.


What is SuperStream

SuperStream is the mandatory system for employers to pay superannuation guarantee contributions to super funds. It sends both payment and employee data electronically in a standard format, allowing all contributions to be made in a single transaction, even when paying multiple super funds.


Ways to process SuperStream

You can process SuperStream in 2 ways:

  • Use a SuperStream service called Beam to send all your superannuation contributions in a single electronic transfer.
  • Create a SAFF file and upload to your own choice of clearing house.


Use Beam as your SuperStream service

To use Beam as your SuperStream service, you'll need to enable Beam first. If you try to submit a batch without first enabling Beam, you will get a prompt to enable one.  Learn how to use Beam to create and lodge a batch.


Create the SuperStream batch

  1. In the Reckon One Payroll menu, select SuperStream
  2. Select Add
  3. Ener a From date and To date. Superannuation contributions from pay runs with pay dates falling between these dates will be included in the batch.
  4. Enter a unique Description
  5. Select Add SuperStream batch. A SuperStream batch will be created.

View the figures in a batch

A SuperStream batch includes any superannuation contribution values that:

  • are in a pay run that has been marked as paid (where the pay run pay date falls in the dates selected for the batch)
  • have not been included in any other SuperStream batch
  • are due to a pay run being reverted after a contribution has already been lodged via SuperStream, where the changes to the pay run increased the amount of superannuation that was owed. If the changes to the pay run decrease the amount of superannuation owed, this will not show as a value in in the batch. If either of these scenarios occurs, you can view the details (the amount originally contributed, new amount owed, and adjusted amount) in the batch history.

Create and upload a SAFF file

A SAFF file can be created which contains the superannuation contributions to be paid.

To create and upload a SAFF file:

  1. Click on the batch to open it.
  2. Select Batch options, then Create SAFF.
    Super batch details page
  3. The SAFF file will be downloaded for you to send to your gateway, fund, or clearing house.
  4. To mark the batch as lodged, select Batch options, then Mark as lodged.


Find and filter batches

  1. In the Reckon One Payroll menu, select SuperStream
  2. Use the tabs at the top of the table to filter batches by All, Draft or Lodged
  3. To customise the table, select the spanner cog on the top right of the table to select columns to display and hide.


View batch details and history

  1. In the Reckon One Payroll menu, select SuperStream
  2. Click on a batch to open it.
  3. To view super details for an employee, click on the arrow beside an employee name to view super details for that employee.
