Transition to STP Phase 2

Hello,

Could you please clarify what I need to do after completing all the steps to prepare for STP Phase 2, to then start lodging pay runs and reporting Phase 2 information.

At the bottom of all the instructions is this paragraph:

Once you've set up your payroll and before you begin lodging pay events under STP Phase 2, please ensure you have created and lodged an Update Event  so the ATO can validate the data that will be transitioned over to STP Phase 2.

How does the software transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2? Once the ATO accepts the Updated Event, is it done automatically, so the next Pay Run is lodged with Phase 2 information? Or do I need to tick something during the next Pay Run?

 

I have received a letter from ATO that I am still reporting pay events using Phase 1. So I am unsure how to make the transition.
