Testing and Production cutover approach


B2B – V1 to V2

• Funds can use the readiness details published

on SIPO to assist with determining a suitable

test partner for P2P testing*

• ATO to coordinate with Gateway operators to

coordinate production cutover dates for their

clients by end of Jun 2016

• ATO to publish draft production cutover plan

by mid July and final by end of July 2016

• FVS will be updated prior to production.

• Production cutover commences in Oct based

on:

Wk 1: Move some large gateways and

selected funds into production -

confirm integrity of implementation

Wk 2: Next tranche of gateways and

their clients

Wk 3: SAFs tranche

Wk 4: Remainder of trustees

G2B – ATO to fund Rollovers

• Gateway Operators commence interoperability

testing in EVTE from Mid July (opportunities

for earlier connectivity testing to be

undertaken)

• ATO is working with Gateways to coordinate

the schedule for interoperability testing

• Funds have indicated readiness for peer to

peer testing from August onwards will be

coordinated through Gateways*

• ATO to identify and coordinate with the registry

solution providers not necessarily every fund.

• FVS updated prior to production. Cutover in

Nov will be based on:

Wk 1:

Wk 2:

Wk 3:

Wk 4:

G2B testing in EVTE – What is proposed


DRAFT

Fund Validation Service changes


The FVS will be updated

B2B - after trustees notify of readiness to receive in v2 of the standard, and

G2B - on completion of testing with ATO for G2B.

Details of who and how FVS will be update will be determined shortly

Trustees will need to be able to send new values (FVS Update) and retrieve new

values (FVS Get and List) to accurately manage the change.

New values will include:

• ROLL2.0-X: able to receive industry rollovers v2

• GROL2.0-X: able to receive Government rollovers v2

• CONT2.0-X: able to receive industry contributions v2

• GCON2.0-X: able to receive Government contributions v2

Current focus of ATO rollovers readiness team


Finalising design and documentation to support testing in EVTE including scope

resources/responsibilities, points of contact, test data, process etc.

ATO acknowledges feedback about previous experiences with EVTE and are

looking to upgrade performance and provide additional resources to support

rollover testing in EVTE. The data set and business scenarios that will be used in

EVTE are also consistent with standards and patterns industry are using/designing.

Further details of production cutover approach including nerve centre, production

support model and production cutover schedules and certification processes to be

finalised by end of July

CONTRIBUTIONS V2 IMPLEMENATION UPDATE


Contributions v2


• Consultation Contributions draft v2 published on 15 March

• Principally adding government contributions, introducing new functionality to

contribution interactions to enable automated processing of amendments (G2B),

and incorporating refund design and relevant guidance notes. Scope of

release includes all trustees and payrolls for B2B and all trustees and

Government for G2B contributions.

• This release was originally targeted at the May 2017 release window to coincide

with an anticipated Single Touch Payroll upgrade - the timing of Single Touch

Payroll rollout has now changed based upon the Government announcement in

December 2015

• The need for further consultation on timing and scope was acknowledged at the

Business Engagement Forum in March and the subsequent ATO/APRA letter

Contributions v2


The ATO has now revisited the scope of the May 2017 upgrade, noting that

deferring the contributions G2B change is not considered possible without it being

possibly deferred indefinitely and forgoing the benefits involved.

• The ATO is proceeding with a G2B release in May 2017 based upon the

published Contributions V2 MIG, and will allow Trustees to implement over a

three month period.

• The existing contributions (B2B) standard will continue to run in parallel, whilst

the experience of implementing V2 utilising G2B is refined with Trustees.

• Implementation of the contribution V2 B2B changes will be scheduled to align

with a future single touch payroll change.

Contributions v2


Benefits of revised approach:

• Manage any risk associated with the single touch payroll change, in particular allow for

finalisation of the Superannuation reporting event, and possible changes from the Single

Touch Payroll Pilot

• Created an opportunity for further refinement and return on investment from the

implementation of contributions V1, in particular for trustees to continue to refine internal

changes supporting the implementations.

• Would allow further consideration and consultation on possible improvements for B2B V2

implementation

• Will enable trustees to focus on implementing the G2B contributions design

This position has been tested with a small group of trustees and subsequently the

Superstream Reference Group. Both supported the revised position.

As part of finalising release documentation during July 2016, the ATO will further

investigate and advise on managing any impacts of the change.
