Introductions
PY & External Contributions is a newly added wizard where users can update contribution data
1) for entering opening balance/historical data into SF360;
2) for contributions made to external funds.
This brings the following benefits:
1) It allows the Concessional contribution and Non-concessional contribution caps for members to be better tracked.
2) It updates the Contribution Dashboard and relevant reports with more accurate information.
Instructions
| Navigate to Member from the Main Toolbar |  |
| Select Member List |  |
| Under Member Transactions, select PY & External Contributions from the drop-down list |  |
Note
1. Additionally, users can also access the wizard from the Contribution Dashboard.
Exception:
When setting up a new fund, this wizard may not be accessible under the Contribution Dashboard if the start date of the Financial Year was more than 2 years earlier than the member accumulation account start date, as the Financial Year available under Contribution Dashboard only covers up to two years from the start of the Financial Year.
In this case, users can still access the wizard via the Member List screen.
Example:
The start of the Financial Year is 01/07/2015, then users can select only up to the 2016/17 FY. As the accumulation account was only active in FY 17/18, in this case, the wizard will Not be accessible from the Contribution Dashboard.
2. In order to access the PY & External Contributions wizard, Member Contribution and Pension Dashboard will need to toggled on under the User Role setting. Otherwise, this wizard will be hidden from the user.

1) under Contribution Dashboard;
2) in the Contributions Breakdown Report and Contributions Summary Report;

Note
1. The added contribution will NOT be automatically updated for the Total Superannuation Balance (TSB) under the Transfer Balance Dashboard, where users will need to manually update.
2. The system will not update for any contributions added before the Service Period Start Date.
