The purpose of an EYFPS is for when you need to make amendments to a prior year. If you are able to safely roll the payroll back into the prior year then you can amend the figures this way and send an FPS.
The following fields are required
- Payroll: The payroll to which the file relates.
- Year: The tax year that the submission relates to.
- Filename: The Filename of the created submission. This will be populated when selecting the Payroll and Year.
Upon clicking Generate, if Pick Employees is ticked you will now get the option to select which employees will be included in the submission. You will see two ways to do this.
- Type into a field to search for the employee and manually add them to a list.
- Import a file containing a list of employee numbers.
After selecting the required employees or selecting generate without the Pick Employees checked, you will now be redirected to the original screen when you will see the file is being created.
Once the record has finished creating it will display as Open. You will need to refresh the page to see this. Click on the open submission submission and select Edit. You will now be redirected to the record which will look like a condensed version of InPay. Please make any required changes in this open submission for your prior years figures.

The key item here is highlighted by the arrow, as within the location field there will be an item similar to Employee[1] This highlights which employee the error applies to. HOWEVER this is the employees' location in the file NOT the workers Employee Number. An arrow indicating where this is in the transmission file is shown in the View image.
