PAYE24010 - employer records: employer EMO printouts: cess’n / canc’n date rejection / EDI signal set

An Early Morning Output (EMO) rejection printout ‘Cessation / Cancellation Date Set On EBS Rejected By COP As EDI Signal Set On Record’ is produced advising you that a mismatch has taken place between the Employer Business Service (EBS) and COP employer records.

This will indicate

• A cessation or cancellation date has been entered on the EBS employer record

And

• EDI ( Electronic Data Interchange) signal is still set on the COP employer record

The creation of this EMO is as a result of the EDI signal being left on the COP employer record when the EBS employer record has been given a cessation or cancellation date.

The EDI signal is not visible on the COP employer record. Unless you are aware that your employer record is within these arrangements, and take the appropriate action to have the indicator (signal) deleted, a printout will arise when a cessation or cancellation date is entered on the EBS record. You should use Function AMEND EMPLOYER NOTES to record that your employer is within EDI arrangements.

Information Management Solutions (IMS), Live Services, Shipley will co-ordinate the setting and removal of this indicator.

The cancellation or cessation of an employer record can only be done on the EBS employer record. It is not possible to update the COP record at the same time. Therefore if this signal is not removed prior to entering a cancellation or cessation date then a mismatch will arise.

You will need to take remedial action to align both employer records to ensure the correct position is held on all computers.
