Before you can submit super payments, you must register your business with Beam:

To register:

• Go to Integrations from the top right corner menu.
• Under the Beam section, click Register.

Complete the Beam registration form:

• Confirm business name, ABN, and contact details.
• Add payment method (Direct Debit, BPAY, or EFT).
• Add a default super fund:
  • Quick-add option: Australian Retirement Trust.
  • Or search by Fund Name, ABN, or USI.
• Remove any fund using the X icon.
• Review and accept Beam’s terms & conditions.
• Click Back to Myaccountant once done.

2. Create a Super Payment Batch

• Go to Payroll > Superannuation.
• Click Add Payment.
• Enter the start and end dates for the contribution period.
• Choose your payment method:
  • Direct Debit
  • BPAY
  • EFT

3. Review and Validate Contributions

• The system will display super amounts calculated from your payroll
• Review for accuracy:
  • Amounts
  • Employee fund details
  • Member numbers
• Click Validate
• Fix any errors (e.g., invalid ABNs, missing USIs)
• Re-validate until no issues remain

The payment cannot be submitted until all errors are cleared.

4. Submit and Lodge

• Once validation is successful, click Lodge.
• A Payment Reference Number (PRN) will be generated along with payment instructions.
• This PRN is unique to each batch.

5. Make the Payment

Depending on your payment method:

• Direct Debit:
  • Beam will automatically debit your nominated account
  • No manual action needed
• BPAY or EFT:
  • Log in to your bank
  • Pay using the exact PRN and account details provided
  • You must complete payment on the same day as lodging

❗ Using the wrong reference or delay in payment may cause fund delays or compliance issues.

6. Track and Reconcile

• Go to Payroll > Superannuation to track payment progress
• Use the Check Status option (from the dropdown next to Lodge) if needed
  

Tips & Best Practices

• Pre-Check Settings: Ensure your ABN, bank account, and contact details are correct in Myaccountant before registering with Beam
• Use Direct Debit: It's the simplest method with the fewest errors
• Validation is Mandatory: Even small issues (like an invalid USI) will block payment
• Keep PRNs Unique: Always pay using the PRN generated by each batch
• Default Super Fund: Required for new employees without a selected fund
