Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
- Why can't I cancel an earning payment report? Only reports with the status "Delivered" or "Cancellation rejected" can be attempted to be invalidated. If the report status is "Pending" or "Cancelling in progress", you must wait for the Income Register to process the previous request first.
- In the Non-Salary Payments view, the payment status is "Not paid". What should I do? The status "Not paid" means that the payment is awaiting manual handling and sending to the bank. This may be due to either settings (automatic payment is not enabled) or missing information (such as reference number) during the payroll phase. You can handle these payments in the "Post Payroll" -> "Non-Salary Payments" view.
- I am trying to filter employer's separate reports, but I get an error message "Start month must be..."? Employer's separate reports have been delivered to the Income Register only since 1.1.2019. You cannot filter or search for reports earlier than this date. Correct the filter's Start month to be at least "01-2019".
