Super Fund Set Up

To make Employee superfund contributions available for payment via the ClickSuper integration, the vendor nominated on the Employee Super Fund should be set to ClickSuper (ie. Payroll Vendor specified in the Payroll Setup section above). 

Ensure all Employee Super Fund fields and other applicable fields required for SuperStream (as outlined above) are also complete.


Self Managed Super Funds

If an employee has a self managed super fund (SMSF) you will need to create a new Super Fund specifically for them.

As outlined above you must ensure that ABN, ESA,  BSB and Account Number are all specified.

Check the "IS SMSF" checkbox and enter the name of the superfund. The name must be less than 32 characters long.

Here is an example SMSF.



Processing Super Contributions

Once ClickSuper portal and Payroll set up is complete, the ClickSuper process is then ready for superannuation contribution payments.

To initiate the process a Payroll Remittance record is required.

Navigate to Payroll Administration > Australia > Super : Payroll Remittance > New.

Select Super Contributions For Payment

On the new 'Select Super Contributions For Payment' screen 

Select a Subsidiary (if applicable) and enter Start and End Dates 

The page will refresh to show pending superannuation contributions for that period. 

A pending contribution is a payslip detail line of either Employee Super, Employer Super, Extra Super, or Super Salary Sacrifice that has a payee of the ClickSuper Vendor (see super fund configuration above), that has not previously been paid as part of an existing payroll remittance record.

A summary line is displayed for each employee showing the total number of contributions (payslip detail lines), and a break down of the contribution types.

At the top of the page you can also see the total number of selected contributions, the total number of selected employees and the total amount of the payroll remittance.


Payrun Difference

Note: The Date Range does not automatically populate in the same way as a Pay Run does. This provides flexibility to pay contributions in varying frequencies.

One World - Multi Subsidiary

If you are not using a NetSuite One world account or you have only one subsidiary configured you will not see the subsidiary drop down box.

Select Super Funds

If you only wish to pay contributions for specific super funds, check the "Filter By Super Funds" checkbox. This will enable the Super Funds selection list.

Select one or multiple (Ctrl +) Super Funds and Refresh.

In the example below you can see the AMP SuperLeader Plan from the previous example is no longer displaying.

Select Employees

If you do not wish to make a payroll remittance for all of the employees in the list,  uncheck the Pay checkbox next to the Employee's name. 

Select Super Types

You can also do the same with the Super Type e.g Only tick Employer Super if you do not wish to make other Super Payments like Salary Sacrifice.


Create Remittance

Once you have selected all the contributions you wish to pay, click the Create Remittance button, this will confirm the total amount to be paid.

Once submitted the payroll remittance record will be created for review.


Payroll Remittance Record

The Payroll Remittance Record contains listing of the contributions to be paid along with details needed by ClickSuper and the Process Status

The example below indicates a record where the system has detected missing information from the Employee records. The missing information needs to be corrected before the Payroll Remittance form can be completed.

To rectify missing information;

  1. Navigate to the relevant Employee record

  2. Update the required details

  3. Return to the Payroll Remittance page

  4. Refresh

Upload Payroll Remittance 

Once the Payroll Remittance is checked and complete, Click the Upload button to submit the remittance for verification.


The Process Status will change to "Submitted Pending Verification", you can then click on Check Status

If there are any further errors these will be now be displayed and also require correction.


Once complete you will see a green box confirming the upload is complete and the process status will change to "Submitted - Manual Verification" and you are now ready to go back to the ClickSuper Portal to review & confirm payment to be processed.


Payment Reconciliation

Login to ClickSuper Portal

Navigate to the Uploads option in the left hand column.  You should see your Contribution at the top of the uploads list with a status of "Waiting User Response"

Click on the Payroll Remittance Link to then display your Reconciliation Report - You can then review this and Click on either "Accept" or " Reject" as below   NB .You can also "Export" for review in further detail


Once you have Accepted the Payroll Remittance the Status will Change to "Success" and you can Navigate to Payments option in left hand column

Your payments should be showing as "UnScheduled"  You can now click on "Schedule All" to set the date you wish the payment to be direct debited from your account.

You can now select the date for payment from the Pop Up Calendar and then click on the "Tick" bottom right corner


Your payments have now all been updated to Scheduled and the date you set will be displayed.  You should also receive an email from ClickSuper confirming a successful transmission.

Payroll Remittance Record Status Update

The status of your remittance record will update over night via a Scheduled Process which will update the Process Status to Complete and confirm that the remittance has been published for payment. 

Please follow the instructions below for setting up the Scheduled Process NB An Administrator will need to action this step.



Remittance Schedule

The remittance module includes a scheduled script that is used to check ClickSuper for status updates on a daily basis. The script will:

  1. Query and update the status of remittance records that have processed

    1. find "Submitted Pending Verification" or "Submitted Manual Verification" records within Click Super and return a status update.

  2. Update Payslip Details, linking the remittance record and setting the paid checkbox for all remittance record that have status "Published"

  3. Update Payslip Details, clearing the remittance record and paid checkbox where the process status is "Cancelled"

Configuring Scheduled Process

The scheduled script is not installed as scheduled so a Script Deployment must be manually scheduled as part of the installation process. To do this complete the following steps:

  1. Locate the Payroll Remittance Scheduled Script (Customization > Scripting > Scripts), select Scheduled in the Type Filter and click Edit

2. Open the Deployments sub-tab and click the title "Payroll Remittance Scheduled"

Open the Deployment Tab

 3. Edit the Deployment set the following fields, and save

  1. Status to "Scheduled"

  2. Daily Event, and Repeat every weekday

  3. Start Date to the following day

  4. Start Time to 3:00 am

  5. Check 'No End Date'

  6. Save


The script will be queued to run at 3:00 am every weekday.


Adhoc Daily Update

The background scheduled process is designed to run nightly, however it can also be queued to run immediately by going to the remittance record, locating the more menu on the right hand side and selecting Init Nightly Process.

Once clicked you can track the progress of the scheduled process by navigating to the Scheduled Script Status page.


Vendor Bill Payment

Once the Click Super process has completed the superannuation contributions will have been paid, however, the direct debit by ClickSuper will need to be reflected in your general ledger. 

You can process this Vendor Payment in NetSuite as you do any other Payroll Vendor. E.g Bill Payment, Cheque or Journal.


Resubmit Rejected Remittances

In some cases a Super Fund will return contributions to ClickSuper if an Employee fund could not be found.

This typically happens when a membership number is incorrect, or the incorrect Super Fund has been specified on the employees contribution.

The payments are returned by ClickSuper, and the individual pay details for the contribution need to be updated and made available for future remittance processing when the Employee's Super Fund details are corrected.

The return of a contribution typically happens more than 5 days after a remittance has been submitted and the Remittance will have been marked as completed.

To start the process locate and select the remittance record that the rejected contribution was included in .

Click the "Resubmit Rejected Contributions" button.

Missing Resubmit Rejected Button

The Resubmit button will only display if the status of the remittance is completed (this means the individual super payslip details have been marked as paid and associated to the remittance record).

If the status of your remittance is not set to complete please ensure the daily scheduled process (above) has been setup.


Select one or more employee's who's contributions were rejected.

If you want to immediately create a new Remittance for the rejected contributions leave the "Resubmit" checkbox checked and enter the pay date.

If you prefer to include the contributions on a future remittance uncheck Resubmit.

Click Resubmit Remittance and the selected contributions will be unassociated with the original remittance (see Remittance changes below).

If the Resubmit checkbox was ticked a new remittance record will be created and submitted to Click Super.

If Resubmit was left unchecked, you will return to the original remittance record.


Remittance Changes

Note: The remittance record that previously included the rejected contributions will be updated to remove the rejected payslip details from the Pay Summary and Pay detail tabs.

The reconciliation details and total payment amount will not be updated as these details are needed to reconcile with the Click Super portal.

The Notes > User Notes tab will note the rejected contributions including amounts and details.


Resubmitting Contributions From Multiple Remittance Records

If the rejected contributions span multiple remittance records you will need to go into each Remittance Record and run the process for each employee.

Best practice is to uncheck the "Resubmit" checkbox, that way the rejected contributions won't be automatically included on a resubmit remittance.

Instead you can either run a new remittance spanning the full date range for the rejected submissions, or include on the next remittance run (remembering to extend the date range to include for the prior period).
