Send the year end submission to the gateway
After you create a submission file, you can send it to the Government Gateway by clicking Payroll > Functions > Government Gateway Transfers.
The wizard guides you through sending the submission file to the Government Gateway.
Select, from the drop-down list, the primary payroll template you used to create the XML submission file.
On the second page, select the transfer template you used to create the transmission file. The process will use this information to pick up the file created earlier.
On the third page, you are asked if you want to incorporate the IRmark into the submission. Important - you must ensure this check box is clear, because the end-of-year return must not contain an IRmark. After you ensure the check box is clear, click the Run button.
The process transmits the XML submission file to the website specified on the Gateway tab of the Module Definitions window (Payroll > Module Setup > Module Definitions > Gateway). (For more information, refer to Set up the gateway parameters in the module definitions.)
The data is validated and any errors are sent back from HMRC and displayed on your screen, as well as stored in a Response.xml file. To review the errors, refer to another file sent by HMRC, the GateWay.log file. The error files are stored in the folder specified in the Log Path field on the Gateway tab in the Module Definitions window.
IMPORTANT. Before you create the live submission file, you must ensure you create the submission file when the Gateway Test check box (Payroll > Module Setup > Module Definitions > Gateway) is clear, and not just resend the final test XML file.
