Unable to file E@syfile EMP501 - Pre Submission Report incomprehensible!

[JLC]

I have filled in my recon and now can't file it; the "pre submission validation report is copied - the Box No. of our business looks correct to me and no code 3218 is used on the certificates.

Help please!!

I hit this one with last year's interim submission.

E@syfile has added some mandatory fields to the employer information area, and as usual we're supposed to be psychic.
Worse still, some of the settings are a bit anal and unintuitive.

Go to EMPLOYER ADMIN > View/Edit/Change
Go to the Edit Employer section
Go to Employer Address and Phone Information

and complete / update any missing data.
There will be missing data - just can't remember exactly what it was (I think it's the postal address data now that I think about it)

What I do recall is the postal address section has a few curve balls, and I include a snapshot of the one section to demonstrate (in my instance) what you need in there for an ordinary post office box.



If you leave those postal agency fields blank and don't have those N/A entries exactly like shown above, validation fails.

UPDATE: With the E@syfile update for the period 201402, the postal agency fields need to be left blank if the postal address is a P.O. Box.

All this is hidden in the latest manual on E@syfile, but of course for those of us who have been using it for a while... well, who among us struggling entrepreneurs always downloads the latest manual and peruses all the pages looking for changes from previous versions

And you must click the little circle that indicates that it is a PO Box or a Private Bag.

and no code 3218 is used on the certificates.

I've had a look at this issue and the code range relates to structured address data.



Did you import data from a payroll package, perhaps?

Had the same problem
Please check your employees information and if you got a tick that postal address is the same as residential , uncheck and complete correct postal address

Thanks so much - I updated the P O address with " n/a" rather than leaving it leaving it blank and that problem has been solved! Still struggling with the code ref though.

[JLC]

Hi Dave - the data was manually imported but this morning I went through the employer information, not changing anything, and then attempted to submit the EMP5 and it worked!

Thanks for your post.

[Dave A]

Just chuffed to hear you came right, JLC. It gives me hope for the rest of us who still have to get going with this year's EMP501 return
No doubt lots of us are going to face similar challenges this year.
