When creating a SuperStream batch, you progress through three stages:
The Initial screen.
Followed by the Contribution Information stage.
Then the Payment Information stage.
The batch header at the Contribution Information and Payment Information stages provides contextual information about the batch you're working with.
What's changed
Previously, the batch header at both stages contained a Payment Period field showing the name and date range of the selected contribution period, for example, Monthly January 2026' and '01/01/2026 – 31/01/2026.
When using the Report by Payday option, the same Payment Period field was displayed, which didn't reflect the payday-based criteria selected on the Initial screen.
Now, when a SuperStream batch is created using the Report by Payday option, the batch header at the Contribution Information and Payment Information stages displays two new fields in place of the Payment Period field:
Regular Payday: Displays the day of the week selected as the Payday on the Initial screen, for example, Friday.
Payment Cut Off Date: Displays the date selected as the Payment Cut Off Date on the Initial screen in DD/MM/YYYY format, for example, 31/07/2026.
If a SuperStream batch is created using the Report by Contribution Period option, the existing Payment Period field continues to display the contribution period name and date range, as before.
Benefits
This update ensures that users working through the SuperStream batch creation process when using the Report by Payday option can readily identify the payday and cut-off date the batch relates to at each stage.
This reduces the risk of errors during batch creation by providing clear, contextually relevant batch identification in the header throughout.
