Crosscheck Cases
Software Registration Process
Introduction
In order for software products to be able to transmit production data to the ELS gateways, each financial year they must request a new software number. This is initiated by lodging the cases they wish to be registered for, from the crosscheck cases provided.
The crosscheck process is used to check your softwares’ ability to create and lodge return forms to the ELS.
The 2013FBT (form EB) will be registered under Software Provider’s(SWP) Production software number (eg. 2012). When SWP’s request a development income year software number (eg. 2013), their FBT registration will be rolled over into their new SWP development income year software number.

Crosscheck Report
Attached to the end of the validation report, is the Crosscheck report. This report is triggered by the test Tax File Number used in the valid test case. The report verifies that the correct valid data was transmitted by comparing your transmission to a copy of the data stored in the test gateway. Crosscheck errors are only triggered during software testing only on the test gateway and are not part of the production system.
NOTE: A Crosscheck report containing no errors is not essential. It is possible that your package may contain more precise details and calculations, or you may make a minor keying error. However you must be able to substantiate any errors.
