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

[Dave A]

STATUS:
Employer Postal Private Bag/PO Box/Other PO not supplied

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
