You can pay employee super contributions directly to any registered super fund in Australia using the integrated Beam super fund clearing house. For any inquiries about Beam, contact your payroll software provider. There is a quarterly superannuation processing fee for using the Beam integration, details of which are available on the subscription page of your payroll file.
Important
This feature will set up and register Beam for your default employing entity and its ABN only, not for any additional entities or their ABNs. You can view your default ABN details through the Business Details feature. For information on registering Beam for additional entities and ABNs, refer to this article.
Warning
Please note that it is a superannuation compliance requirement to fill out the compulsory fields. If you use Beam, this does not populate the required compliance information, so you will need to do this manually. Please see this link for more information.

Further information
To use the Direct Debit payment method, we need to make sure you are a registered employer with the ATO. This can be done via a successful STP (Single Touch Payroll) event. If you have not submitted a successful STP event, this will result in the following error occurring when submitting the super payment and you will need to select another payment option to continue: “Prior to using the direct debit payment option, a pay event must be successfully lodged via Single Touch Payroll. Please select another payment option.”.
