Hello, could you kindly help me with a question? My colleague entered a wrong PPS number for the past couple of years against which he entered expenses (he’s not claiming a salary at the moment). Now I’ve entered the correct PPS number. How do I link the expenses to this new number? Also the P2C file I got from Revenue has all my details but everything is NIL in it for him. Is it because he’s currently in a full time job elsewhere – registered as not working with our company? Although he is a director?

Hi, 
I’ll pass your query about the PPS number onto our tech team. 
THe P2C file questions is one for Revenue or your Accountant. I’m afraid we only support the software, and aren’t sure why Revenue would do that. 
I’ll get back to you on the PPS no soon.

Thanks Pete

    Great, thanks Pete.

    No problem. I've just sent the PPS quirey.

    Sorry Pete one more thing, all of Mark's tax stuff is linked to his current full time job. So is the P2C not supposed to be blank for our company

    Or is that again a Revenue thing. Prob is I can't record expenses for him using BHQ unless those other fields are populated

    I'm getting this error when I set his salary to zero but expenses to say, 500.
    You need to add tax details for Mark O'Toole for 2016. Click on "Update Tax Details" under Actions on the right to do that now, or you can do it later by going to Wages > Employees > Mark O'Toole

    That's a revenue thing, we don't have access to that information. But, tax is usually linked to the PPS number not the company. They'll clarify.

    So you need to update tax details, theren't any tax details for Mark.
    Always use the P2C file for setting up employees. Every error we've seen has been relating to human error, it's easy to miss a digit.
    Hope that helps.

    Perfect. Yes the prob was I was putting in the 500 under his wrong PPS number, but I have the P2C uploaded with the other PPS. So I just need to know how to move the expenses to the new PPS number then we're grand. :)

    Looking forward to hearing back on that one

    Cool. There is no problem paying someone expenses and zero salary. If the employee is owed 1000 euro in expenses but wants it for the summer you can just manually set the expenses to 0 and we'll carry it over to the next payroll.
    Don't do anything else with that employee till you hear back from us :)
    Thanks John.

    Sure. Won't do a thing, thanks.

    Hi John,
    If you change the PPSN for an employee, all the expenses already allocated to that employee are not changed, so changing the PPSN shouldn't make any difference. Is there a particular issue that you think may arise now that you've changed the PPSN?
    Whenever you generate a P30/P35L, we use the PPSN currently in Bullet for the employees, so changing the PPSN and regenerating the P30/P30L files (if required) will always use the latest information.
