2. File the STP Event:

• On the posted pay run screen, click on [File].

 

• The authorisation to file screen will open.

• Select the authorisation to file and click on [Submit to ATO].
• The STP filing pop-up screen will update to a pending status until it is either filed or failed. 

3. Exit the Pay Run Screen: After submitting, you can exit the pay run screen.
Checking the STP Pay Event Status
Xero displays the status of each pay event next to the relevant pay run:

• Sent to the ATO or Filed: No further action is required.
• Not Filed: If the pay run has not been filed, it will display as 'Not Filed' until the end of the payday. After that, it will show as 'Overdue'.
• Failed: If the event fails, further investigation is needed to rectify any issues before resubmitting the STP event.

Once an STP event is successfully filed, Xero will mark the pay run as 'Latest', locking any previous pay runs linked to the same payroll calendar.

You can review the details of lodged pay events, including the date and time of submission and the number of employees included.
1. Navigate to Payroll:
2. Expand the History Log: Expand the log of the file you wish to check to review the STP event details, such as:

• Date and time the file was sent to the ATO.
• Number of employees included.
• User who filed the STP event.
