Once you have Registered with Beam, you can make superannuation payments to your employees' super funds.
You must make super payments every time you pay your employees.
Fortunately, it's a very simple process in Easy Business App! Watch the quick video below to see the whole process.
How to Pay and Report Super Contributions
- On the Super screen of Easy Business App you will see a screen with three tabs:
- To Pay - this shows you payslips with superannuation amounts that have not yet been paid.
- Paid - this shows you the details and status of super contribution payments already made
-
Ignored - paid super outside the app? No problem, you can mark payslips as "Ignore" if you don't want to see them on your "To Pay" tab.
-
To pay super, select the payslips to pay super for and then click the Pay Super button. You can click the checkbox in the top row of the table to select all payslips. You can also change the date filter on the top right.
Note: you may be asked to provide your bank details at this stage in the event that any refunds are made by a super fund following your super payment. Enter your BSB, Account No. and Account Name.
- You are now on the Pay Superannuation screen. You can see the total amount of super (and a breakdown of different super types if applicable) you will pay for each employee. You can also see:
- The number of payslips selected and a range of payment dates for those payslips (a handy check to make sure you haven't missed anything!)
- The super fund for each employee.
- A total in the bottom left — this is the total amount you will need to pay
- The payment method to chose. If you have enabled Direct Debit, it will become your default payment method when paying super, but you can change back to BPay as and when required for individual payments — simply click the Pay By drop down on the Pay Super screen.
Selected an employee by mistake? Click the trash icon to remove them from the payment.
- Once you have confirmed the totals (hint: there are some super reports available in the Reports screen if you want to do some more detailed double-checking!) click Pay Super.
-
Enter your signature to confirm the payment amount and that you are authorised to submit SuperStream data on behalf of this business. No payment will be taken at this stage. You will see a BPAY link in the next step.
Note: you may see some warnings before you submit the file. Please see more detail in our help guide to Common Warnings when Paying Super or our guide to Handling Errors when Paying Super.
-
After a short pause while the clearing house generates the payment details, you will see the BPAY payment data including the Biller Code, Payment Reference and Amount. The Payment Status will be "Awaiting Payment"
Note: the Reference number is very important as it allows accurate matching of payments. Entering an incorrect reference when you make a payment will cause delays in your payment reaching the super funds.
The Reference is unique for each payment you make, so please be sure to copy it. You can use the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard to save you typing it out. Always double-check the reference number before making your payment in your internet banking application!You cannot use a credit card to make a super payment.
This is not supported by Beam.
- Use your internet banking application/site to make the payment via BPAY.
- The payslips will now have disappeared from the "To Pay" tab and you will see a Super Payment entry in the "Paid" tab.

Q: I'm seeing a warning or error when submitting my Super Payment.
A: Don't panic. You can still submit a payment with Warnings, although it may be prudent to fix them if possible. You cannot submit a payment with errors.
We've prepared help guides to assist with this. Please see more detail in our help guide to Common Warnings when Paying Super or our guide to Handling Errors when Paying Super.
Q: Is there an easy way to share a summary of the payment, e.g. to my client who will actually make the BPAY payment?
A: Yes! Click the "Generate PDF Summary" button. This will create a PDF file with the employee breakdown and the BPAY details and total. You can share this with whoever needs to make the actual payment. Alternatively, consider setting up Direct Debit as a payment option if this suits your workflows better.
Q: How do I enrol employees in my default super fund?
A: If an employee has requested to be enrolled in your Default Super Fund on their superannuation choice form, you can enrol them automatically through Easy Super.
In their employee record, on the Super tab select the option Enrol employee in my default super fund. When you make their first super payment, we'll auto-enrol them (or ask you to choose which fund to enrol them in if you have more than one).
Note that for their first payslip (before you make a super submission and enrol them), the payslip will say "Default Super Fund". Once the enrolment has taken place, all subsequent payslips will include the full super fund name and details.
Q: Can I make payments to Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF)?
A: Yes. Choose the Self-managed Super Fund (SMSF) option on the Super tab of the employee record and enter the necessary details. You'll need the Fund Name, Electronic Service Address (ESA), ABN and bank details.
Q: Can I pay super to more than one fund for an employee? E.g. pay SG to one fund and salary sacrifice to another?
A: No, not currently. If this is important for you, please vote on this feature request.
Q: Can I keep using the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House (SBSCH) instead?
A: No. The SBSCH shut down on 1 July, 2026 as part of the Payday Super reforms. Learn more here.
Q: When should I pay? What happens if I don't make the payment?
A: You must use the reference number provided and send your BPAY payment the same day as submitting the contributions in Easy Business App. Failing to send payment the same day as submitting contributions will result in delays in the nominated superannuation fund(s) receiving the contributions and could result in you failing to meet your employer superannuation obligations.
After three days, if you have not made the payment, the super contribution will be automatically cancelled. The payslips will return to the "To Pay" tab and the status of the payment on the Paid tab will change to "Cancelled"
Q: How will the super payment appear on my bank statement?
A: It will appear as "PRECISION", or "PRECISION CH" on your bank statement along with the text "BPAY". If you use Cashflow for your transaction recording, we'll automatically suggest the "Superannuation Payable" account for these transactions, so you can just "OK" it. You're welcome! ☺️
Q: How long does it take to receive a refund from Beam?
A: In instances when an issue has occurred & Beam have refunded the transfer of funds from your bank account payment, it can take up to 3 business days to receive the funds to your nominated bank account.
