The SuperStream Batch report displays the superannuation contributions included in a SuperStream batch. It can be run during the batch creation process at the Contribution Information and Payment Information stages, as well as for closed batches.
The report header provides contextual information to help identify which batch the report corresponds to.
What's changed
Previously, the report header contained a Contribution Period field displaying the name and date range of the contribution period associated with the batch, for example, Monthly January 2026 and 01/01/2026 – 31/01/2026.
When the report was run for a batch created using the Report by Payday option, the same Contribution Period field was displayed, which did not reflect the payday-based criteria used to create the batch.
Now, when the SuperStream Batch report is run for a batch created using the Report by Payday option, the report header displays two new fields in place of the Contribution Period field:
Regular Payday: Displays the day of the week selected as the Payday on the Initial screen when the batch was created (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').
📌 Note: This updated header is displayed regardless of whether the report is run during batch creation at the Contribution Information stage, at the Payment Information stage, or after the batch has been closed.
Where the SuperStream Batch report is run for a batch created using the Report by Contribution Period option, the existing Contribution Period field continues to display the contribution period name and date range, as before.
Benefits
This update ensures that the SuperStream Batch report header accurately reflects the criteria used to create the batch when the Report by Payday option is used. Payroll officers can readily identify the payday and payment cut-off date a batch relates to when reviewing the report at any stage of the batch lifecycle, reducing the risk of confusion between batches.
