The Auto EPI download facility allows you to automatically download your clients’ account data (transactions, account balances, income and expenses) to Simple Fund 360, streamlining your SMSF administration.
Data downloads are scheduled to run overnight every night. The initial data file will include all historical data for the selected client accounts. Subsequent data files will only include transactions processed since the last data file was sent.
Simple Fund 360 will also automatically update wrap feed distribution transactions with their respective final tax components when the annual statement is made available.
For more information, please refer to Distribution transactions and tax components.
The Auto EPI download facility is available once your dealer has completed the Application for auto downloads and accepted the Confidentiality and Conditions of Service Agreement for the third party software providers. The application can only be made at dealer level access.
Please note the Dealer will generally be the Financial Adviser.
- From Tools > Data downloads select Application for EPI auto downloads.
