Edit P32

The Edit form cannot be opened if the week numbers are hidden on the P32 Processing form. To enable the Edit command first select F5 to show the week numbers. If the P32 By Income Tax Month box on the Payroll - Utilities - Set Options form is ticked, the week numbers on the P32 Processing form are hidden by default.

The information on the P32 Processing form is updated automatically. You would not normally change the values on the form but there may be occasions when you need to do so, for example when you have upgraded from another payroll system. After the values are set up, the application updates the figures automatically. You should therefore only use this form to edit the P32 period figures under exceptional circumstances and you should take into account the effect of any changes on payments already made to HMRC.

Before selecting this command, click anywhere in the period you want to edit. The figures in the boxes on the General tab correspond with the columns of data for the selected period on the P32 Processing form. For example, if you selected period four in the grid, the figures available for editing will be those for period four. The numbers next to each box's caption relates to the box numbers on the official P32 form.

You are warned before a value is changed. Other values on the form may also be checked, for example, if you change the SMP Compensation value, the application checks that the value is not greater than the SMP Recovered box. You must keep in mind any payments already made to HMRC when changing these values.
