The article will explain how to do A-melding corrections and when they are required.

Introduction

Normally you would use the A-melding (Correction) when you need to correct data on many periods/employees at one time. Typically that would be at the end of the year if you have to move income from one Country code to another (from UK to DK for example), or if you have to correct tax deductions for one employee, and that employee does not have tax deduction to cover the corrected amount in the current period.

Problem

A person requires a correction on tax deduction.

A-melding does not accept a "negative" correction on tax, so the corrected tax has to be reported in a period where the employee had a tax deduction to cover the corrected amount.

Solution

  1. Go to Payroll > Entry Codes

  2. Create an Entry Code for correction (you can duplicate the tax Entry Codes if the correction is for tax)

  3. Make sure the Amount Input field is open (L21 Entry 1), you may also open the Text fields for comments, and a Vessel (L32) field for the input of vessel:

     

  4. Create a simple script - you can copy from any other manual entry:

     

  5. Make sure that on the EDAG setup tab, the option “A-melding Correction” is enabled and the respective reporting code is setup:

Example

  1. Find a person for whom you need to add a correction and add the entry:

     

  2. Go to EDAG report, Authenticate and go to A-melding (Correction):

     

  3. Select the calendar period for A-melding correction, Refresh, run Validation, and Send:

     

Note that Adonis Validation Report will still show the message warning you that the negative correction on tax is not accepted, but keep in mind that it’s only a warning and you can still send A-meling, just make sure that you send it for the calendar month where the person had a tax deduction.
