Description
For the purpose of this document, a member is defined as
 a member of a superannuation fund
 a holder of a retirement savings account (RSA).
For the purpose of this document, a First home saver account (FHSA)
holder is defined as an owner of a FHSA.
This is the organisation (as authorised by the super provider or FHSA
provider) that manages the affairs of one or more super providers or FHSA
providers. A supplier may be a superannuation administrator, trustee
company, tax agent, accountant or employee of a super provider or FHSA
provider.
The supplier is the organisation who lodged the statement with the
Australian Taxation Office (ATO) which resulted in the Outcome of lodgment
report.
A super provider or an FHSA provider, unless otherwise specified.
A super provider is a superannuation fund, an approved deposit fund (ADF)
or an RSA provider. In limited circumstances a life insurance company may
also be a provider. It is the responsibility of the provider to ensure that the
statement is completed correctly and has been lodged with the ATO by the
due date.
A FHSA provider is an entity approved to offer the service of FHSA, subject
to being authorised to do so by Australian Prudential Regulation Authority
(APRA). These include Public-Offer RSE licensees, life insurers, friendly
societies, banks, building societies and credit unions. It is the responsibility
of the provider to ensure that the FHSA activity report is completed correctly
and lodged with the ATO by the due date.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING SPECIFICATION - OUTCOME OF LODGMENT
REPORT
1 INTRODUCTION
ABOUT OUTCOME OF LODGMENT REPORTS
This specification details the system requirements necessary for the superannuation and First
home saver accounts (FHSA) Outcome of lodgment reports to be received electronically.
These reports are generated in response to the lodgment of information on the following
statements:
 Member contributions statement (MCS)
 Lost members statement (LMS)
 Member exit statement (MES)
 Payment variation advice (PVA)
 Assessment variation advice (AVA)
 Unclaimed super money statement (USM)
 First home saver accounts (FHSA) activity report
 First home saver accounts payment variation advice (FHSAPVA)
Suppliers lodge these statements with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) either online using
ATO portals, the free electronic commerce interface (ECI) software or paper.
Statement data is passed through preliminary validation processes, prior to automatic loading
to the superannuation or FHSA systems. However, if statement data does not meet specific
data parameters required to automatically process records, the superannuation or FHSA
systems will fail to complete the load process.
When anomalies are detected with data, error records will generate, which form the basis of a
feedback report distributed electronically or by paper, back to the provider. The format of the
report typically provides:
 summary details of report contents,
 summary details of all error types found on statements for a provider,
 a list of all member records with one or more data errors, and
 details of all accepted provider statement records.
For more information about the error and how to correct it refer to the Outcome of lodgment
report – Error manual which can be downloaded from www.ato.gov.au/softwaredevelopers
The purpose of an Outcome of lodgment report is to advise that:
 the ATO has received a lodgment,
 all correct records will be processed as soon as possible,
 records have been rejected by the ATO, which require correction and re-lodgment by the
provider prior to processing
 the provider has informational errors which have been processed but should be corrected if
the correct information is available. This will prevent the same errors occurring in future
lodgments.

REPORT
WHO SHOULD USE THIS SPECIFICATION
This specification is to be used in the development of software to receive an Outcome of
lodgment report electronically from the ATO.
This specification is not intended to, nor does it, provide a guide to the relevant legislation.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING SPECIFICATION - OUTCOME OF LODGMENT
REPORT
2 REPORTING PROCEDURES
Suppliers are able to receive an Outcome of lodgment report via the ECI.
The security features of the ECI address the most commonly held concerns over internet based
electronic commerce, namely:
 authentication (the sender is who they say they are),
 confidentiality (the communication can only be read by the intended recipient),
 integrity (the transmission cannot be altered without detection while in transit), and
 non-repudiation (the sender cannot later deny the transmission and content).
Using ECI
To use the ECI to receive an Outcome of lodgment report from the ATO, the following is
required:
 an Australian business number (ABN) – apply electronically for an ABN using the Australian
Business Register website at www.abr.gov.au
 an AUSkey® – register at www.abr.gov.au/auskey, and
 the ECI software installed on the supplier’s computer.
For more information about AUSkey® go to: www.ato.gov.au/onlineservices.
Installing ECI software
1
2
3
Go to http://eci.ato.gov.au/ to read the installation instructions and to check minimum
hardware and software requirements.
In the left hand menu, select Download & Install and follow the steps.
Once the application has been successfully installed and opened, select Superannuation
(for MCS, LMS, MES, PVA, USM or AVA Outcome of lodgment report) or First home saver
accounts (for FHSA activity report or FHSAPVA Outcome of lodgment report) from the left
hand menu column.
Installing the ECI software without an ABN or AUSkey will only allow testing functions to be
performed.

BACKUP OF DATA
It is the responsibility of the supplier to keep backups of data supplied to the ATO, so that data
can be re-supplied if necessary. It is the responsibility of the provider to keep effective records
as part of their tax reporting obligations.

 aaaaaaa is the transmission number
 sss will be:
– ACK (MCS), or

FILE CONTENT
Each file (dataset) will contain one Outcome of lodgment identifier data record (page 11) as the
first record on the file.
This record identifies the supplier where an Outcome of lodgment report is being sent and may
be the provider or supplier of the original lodgment.
The first Recipient provider data record (page 12) will appear as the second record on the file.
This record identifies the provider where an Outcome of lodgment report is being sent and is
usually followed by Edit statistics data record and Edit result data record combinations for that
provider.
The Edit statistics data record (page 13) will contain summary statistics of the number of
incorrect records against a specific error code.
If an Edit statistics data record does not exist for a Recipient provider data record then no
errors have been found for that provider.
The Edit result data record (page 13) identifies all individual records which contained an error
resulting in rejection.
It also identifies, up to the first 100 records for each specific error code, cases which did not
reject but did contain incorrect data.
Each Outcome of lodgment report the ATO sends will contain a File total data record (page 14)
as the last record in the file. This record identifies the total number of records in the file
(including the File total data record).
SORT ORDER OF THE REPORT DATA FILE
The sort order of the report data file will be as follows:
 the Outcome of lodgment identifier data record,
 then the Recipient provider data record for the first provider being reported,
 then the Edit statistics data record for the first specific error code for that provider (if
applicable),
 then the Edit result data record for that error code (if applicable), and
 then the File total data record will be placed at the end of the file.
If there is another error code to report for that provider then the next Edit statistics data record
will be placed after the previous error code’s Edit result data record.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING SPECIFICATION - OUTCOME OF LODGMENT
REPORT
If there is another report from a different provider to be included within the same file, then a
Recipient provider data record, Edit statistics data records (if applicable) and Edit result data
records (if applicable) for the next provider will follow the last Recipient provider data record,
Edit statistics data record (if applicable) or Edit result data record (if applicable) for the previous
provider.
FILE STRUCTURE EXAMPLE
An Outcome of lodgment report is being sent to a supplier from the ATO with three different
providers.
Provider A has two different error codes with one occurrence of each.
Provider B has zero errors.
Provider C has one error code with two separate occurrences.
