There are a few things that you need to be aware of:

1. MYOB will not be using an in-application upgrade for this release. You will need to download and install it manually. Therefore, some manual configuration will be required. For this reason, we recommend you schedule the upgrade at least 2-3 days before your next pay, so there is enough time to finish everything before you submit your next STP payload.
2. The upcoming Australian tax release will also use STP Phase 2, so if you do not transition using this version, you will have to transition using the Australian tax release.
