If an FPS file is generated for a payroll period that has no payroll transactions and results in a nil pay, the above error message appears. This occurs because if there are no payments in a payroll period for an entire pay group, you don't need to generate an FPS file for that period.
You can continue processing the payroll period as usual; however, you'll not be able to submit a blank FPS file.
To delete the FPS file, please raise a new case online and reference the title of this article. When submitting the case, include the following details:
Pay group
Payroll period
Sequence of Events
Reason the FPS is not required for this period.
Confirmation that you wish to delete the FPS file.
