Can I run the Nominal Link AFTER I do the FPS to HMRC instead of before?

Posted By
Is it possible to do the Nom Link after uploading the FPS to HMRC? Normally I would do things in the order they are set out on the top left hand menu. But because errors are so difficult to correct after posting the link to the nominal ledger in accounts, I wondered if I could do it the other way round and keep HMRC happy that they have had their info on or before payday, and can be sure that the info I (later) post to the accounts is accurate. Obviously if any changes are made I would need to resubmit the FPS but that is relatively simple.

  • Hi Anita,

    As long as you've updated the records for the pay period you are posting, then you can post the nominal link, whether this is before or after submitting the FPS.

    Full info on how to post the nominal link here.

  • Hi Paul
    I just had a thought as I am going about doing this - what about Leavers? I am assuming I will have to process the leavers before submitting FPS, but will this then mean that the info pertaining to them wont get "linked". OR can I run it as normal without marking them as leavers, do the link, mark them as leavers and then run an FPS adjustment??

  • Hi Anita,

    The Nominal link can still be posted for leavers. To ensure this, you should highlight all the employees, including leavers, who are to be included in the nominal link for the period.

    If leavers are hidden from your employee list you can show them by going into Criteria > clear Current Year Leavers and, if applicable, Historical Leavers > OK.

    To hide leavers once you’ve posted the Nominal link click Criteria > select Current Year Leavers and, if applicable, Historical Leavers > OK.

  • Wonderful! I think this is going to save me a whole loada hassle!

  • Great. If you've any other queries feel free to give us a shout Anita :)
