Running a Full Payment Submission (FPS) in test mode allows employers to simulate the submission of payroll data to HMRC without actually sending live data.
This is essential for verifying the accuracy of payroll information and ensuring compliance with HMRC requirements before making official submissions.
This can be carried out when setting up payroll systems, testing new configurations, or troubleshooting issues to avoid errors in live submissions.

To do this, follow the steps below in Portal.
Click Manage Payroll then highlight the relevant pay group.
Click the Outputs tab then click RTI.

Populate the rest of the fields then generate the FPS.
