SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

I am not a Sage Payroll user, but I am setting up Sage to email payslips.
I am fine changing the individual users, but I want to change the name of the PDF file to use some of the Sage parameters.

Now, to do this I need to go into update records and change the email report, I am fine doing this , but when
I am trying this out in the demo data and I get the following error

There are no employees within the selection to process

How do I set up the employees so that I can use them.
I have asked my accounts department, but the person who normally does payroll in on holiday and no one else knows.

Any help greatly received.

You need to enter some payments against some employees for the payroll period you are attempting to process.

As long as they are paid nothing they will not get a payslip!

So I highlighted the dummy employees and selected 'enter payments'

and got this message.

some of the employees selected for this option have
a) already been updated........


followed by a number of other options,

then 'do you want to have these employees deselected', if I select yes it says 'there are no employees.....', not just does nothing.

Sorry, but I have never used Sage so have no idea what I should be doing.

Change the programme date to the next pay period, then you should be able to enter payments.
