Summary

How to resolve the e@syFile pre-submission validation error SDL Contribution mandatory

Description

You are have filed your return to SARS but the return fails the pre-submission validation.

Resolution

  • The e@syFile company SDL reference number has been activated, as well as on eFiling
  • On the VIP company, the company is excluded for SDL, no SDL contribution was calculated or is included in the IRP5 file.
  • The submission expects SDL codes (against 4142 on the IRP5 file and certificates), however is not there based on the payroll setup
  • Correct the VIP and SARS company (e@syFile and eFiling) so that they are aligned with each other
    The VIP file is in line with the SARS BRS, otherwise it would have been rejected on import
