Summary
Description
Ensure that there are no issues on any employee records before submission to the South African Revenue Service (SARS)
This includes printing the IRP5/IT3's Validation Report. This report helps identify any missing information or issues to resolve before submission. The Validation Report doesn’t generate files for SARS e@syFile; it’s only a tool to check for errors.
This validation is step 2 of the RSA Submission Utility.
Resolution
NOTE: The Validation Report doesn't create any file imports for SARS e@syFile. It helps to find any outstanding mandatory information or issues that you need to solve, before you can create the IRP5 files.
1. Access the RSA Submission Utility:
- Go to the Utilities menu in your payroll company.
- Select RSA Submissions, then SARS Submission Process.
- Review the Period End Date and select Continue.
- Click 'Step 2: Validate IRP5/IT3(a) Warnings and Errors'.
2. Complete report selections:
- The report defaults to these selections:
- Select Action Required: Validation Only
- Type of Run: Test Run
- Select if the report is for the Current Company or for Multiple Companies, then click Continue.
- Review the Employer Details for IRP5/IT3a Run, then click Continue.
NOTE: At this point, any errors on the Employer Details will stop the process.
3. Resolve any validation errors:
- If there are any errors, the screen displays the following message:
" There’s some Outstanding Mandatory Information on some of your Companies. Please consult the Printout of all Outstanding Items".
- Click Continue.
- The report generates with a list of warnings and errors.
- Refer to the report and correct the errors in on your payroll.
- Search the knowledgebase or click here to view the most common validation errors and solutions.
- Once you fixed all the errors, print the Validation Report again to verify.
NOTE: The Test/Live Run option will reflect the same errors when printed. The last page of the Validation Report contains information on how to correct validation errors and it isn’t a list of actual errors.
4. Mark step as complete:
- Check the 'Mark as Complete' box next to Step 2 to confirm you finished the step.
