- Check if the code 6172 (Medical Aid Fringe Benefit) is on the payslip. If it is not, please enter this code. This code will always be equal to the amount on transaction 9090. Never override this amount.
- Check if the code 8002 (Medical Aid Tax Credits) is on the payslip. If it is not, please enter this code. This code does not affect the payslip. It does not print on the payslip. This transaction will calculate the maximum amount of Medical aid tax credits based on the number of beneficiaries added to the Masterfile.
