Wrong Process date - Sage payroll cloud 50 not allowing FPS adjustment / correction

Question

I've processed a weekly payroll with the Process date incorrectly set at as 10-06-2025 including updating and submitting FPS. Should have been 08-06-2025 
 I've recovered set the correct process date 08-06 and re-updated. 
 Having gone to FPS adjustments to notify HMRC that the original date was I am being disallowed from sending an FPS adjustment using either of the 2 dates. 
 Would be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution so that it i can correct this weeks FPS and not affect next weeks FPS 
 Thanks

Hello Bernard 
 I don't think there is a way to resubmit the FPS with an earlier date. The FPS adjustment only works if there is a change in paye liability. For this one I think you will need to speak to HMRC and see if they can change the FPS date. 
 This help article says: 
 When you submit an FPS with the wrong date, any employee's claiming universal credit may be affected. In this case, we recommend you contact HMRC to explain the situation. 
 NOTE: To submit an FPS adjustment, there must be a change in liability. You can't send this submission if only dates have changed. 
 If you re-update with an earlier date, you can't submit an FPS adjustment. In this case, when you process the following period and submit the FPS, the changes are automatically included in the next period's FPS.
