Confirm Amounts In Accounting Suite

It's best practice to confirm the amounts in the accounting suite before processing super.

This helps prevent double paying and making sure the total in Microkeeper matches the total in the accounting suite.

To do this, select the appropriate Super Payable account and Date Range.

Here is an example in Xero, which would be similar for other accounting suites:
