In this guide, we'll walk you through how to submit adhoc forms in upcoming reporting periods, allowing you to report changes easily and efficiently, even before the official reporting period begins.
What Are Upcoming Reporting Periods?
Upcoming reporting periods allow you to view and prepare submissions ahead of their official start date. During this time, only adhoc returns will be active, giving you the flexibility to submit returns for changes as needed, while other return types remain visible but inactive until the period opens.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Access the Reporting Manager
Navigate to the Submissions (Reporting Manager) view on your Dashboard.
Using the date filter, you can view both Current and Upcoming Reporting Periods.
Step 2: Choose Adhoc Return
In the top right hand corner of the Submission Dashboard, select the Create Ad Hoc button.
Step 3: Upload Your File
Upload the required file using the Upload from Computer button or by dragging and dropping.
Step 4: Validate Your Submission
Once your data is entered, the system will run validations automatically.
Review the validation results to ensure your submission is accurate and free of errors.
You can navigate to upcoming reporting periods by using the date and/or form filter at the top of the Submissions Dashboard.
Step 5: Submit the Adhoc Return
After reviewing and clearing any validation errors, you can download the form.
Your adhoc return will now be ready for APRA Connect submission.
