Overview
The Payment Manager is where all payment related information for your organisation can be accessed. This is also the screen where payments are scheduled if your organisation manually schedules payments.
You can access the Payment Manager by clicking on Payments on the blue navigation menu on the left hand side of the page. Depending on the way that you access the payment manager, filters may already be set. For example, if you have just logged in to ClickSuper and use the blue navigation menu on the left hand side of the screen to go straight to the payment manager, no filter is set however all "active" payments will automatically display (Status = Unscheduled/Scheduled/Debit Sent/Debit Fail/Credit Sent/Credit Fail/Returned).
All payments are grouped by fund. ie. payment lines may represent contributions for one or multiple employees.
Once ClickSuper receives a contribution file for your organisation, depending on your payroll software provider and/or your account setting , payments will either be automatically scheduled or you will need to manually schedule your payments.
After uploading a file for your organisation, you will need to Schedule Payments.
If your payment settings are set up to be auto scheduled you will not need to schedule your payments.
ClickSuper requires three business days to process each contribution. You will need to ensure that all payments are scheduled three business days prior to the due date of any contribution. For further information on this requirement, please refer to our section on Direct Debit Payment Schedule or to the APCA website.
Payment Status
ClickSuper will provide payment statuses for all contributions loaded in the system by your organisation. ClickSuper payments and funding transactions may fail and it is important that organisations monitor the payment status of their contributions.
ClickSuper will keep you updated of the status of your payments. It is important that you take action recommended in the table below for payments that have not been processed.

Debit Failed transactions
A debit failure occurs when ClickSuper attempts to debit superannuation from a client but the debit attempt fails. This can occur if the bank account does not have sufficient funds in order to cover the debit or the bank account listed for an organisation in ClickSuper has been closed.
Clients need to re-schedule/authorise payments for re-debiting - this is not an automatic process. If clients need to update the bank account listed for their organisation, please see this link for a guide on how to update banking details before re-scheduling your payments. If the bank account is correct and there simply wasn't enough funds to cover the debit at the time that is fine, payments can be scheduled again for debit without requiring any further update.
Re-paying debit failed transactions
To re-pay the debit failed transactions, they will need to be re-scheduled. This means clients need to authorise ClickSuper to attempt the debit again- this is done by scheduling. If clients do not schedule their transactions they will remain unpaid - it is important that clients re-schedule their debit failed transactions as they have not met their superannuation guarantee obligations until superannuation has been successfully paid. For more information on superannuation guides please see our guide: Superannuation Guidelines
The debit failed transactions will have the status Debit Failed in your ClickSuper account as shown below.
