Making changes to BAS data in GovConnect

Legacy KB ID: 4746

Question

I have imported my BAS data from QuickBooks into GovConnect and I notice an error.  Can I change the data in GovConnect?

 

Answer

Light grey coloured data fields in GovConnect with information from QuickBooks can be manually overwritten by the user.  Dark grey fields are calculated fields and cannot be changed directly – you can only change the fields contributing to the calculation.

Reckon recommends that changes be made in QuickBooks first and the updated information lodged to GovConnect.  This way the data you supply to the ATO through GovConnect will correspond with your QuickBooks record. 

 

Workaround

If a change in final figures in GovConnect is required:

1.    Close GovConnect and launch QuickBooks;

2.    Make necessary changes to transactions and the BAS Lodgement form;

3.    Click on Lodge in QuickBooks and import data into GovConnect;

4.    Check information in each tab for correctness;

5.    Click Prelodge, and on successful completion, Lodge your BAS.

 

Additional Information

The Refresh button in GovConnect will reload the information contained in the last export file created by the Lodge function in QuickBooks.  However, if you manually change information in GovConnect for a field prefilled with information from QuickBooks and click Prelodge, then clicking on the Refresh button will not replace this information with that contained in the last export file.
