This article describes a workaround for the issue with Utleggstrekk reported as a positive amount instead of a negative

Question/Issue

When sending A-melding to Altinn, customer receives the following error in the feedback. 

Answer

Payroll amount from the Entry code defined as Utleggstrekk in EDAG must always be reported as a negative amount. Even if the entry code is set as a Deduction, it seems the system still reports it as a positive amount. 

The workaround is to dedicate a separate field on the entry code to report the amount from. 

Example: 
Script of entry code will normally be as per the below, and on EDAG tab the coding is set in the line L61. 
L61 = XXX 

Keep this script but add the following: 

L69 = L61*(-1) 

On Entry Code => EDAG tab, move the Utleggstrekkskatt coding to the line L69.

Example before adjustment:

Example after adjustment (correct coding to be applied):

Note:
Some of our customers might have more than 1 Entry Code with Utleggstrekk coding, for example:

In such case each Entry Code should be modified as described above.
