Setting Up IR56B and IR56M Starting Sheet Numbers
You can enter the starting sheet number that is allocated to each of the employees for each pay entity in the tax year that you are reporting. The IR56B and IR56M reports include a sheet number (or serial number) that identifies the report for each employee when it is sent to the Inland Revenue Department. Legislation requires that sheet numbers for IR56B should start with 000001 and with 900001 for IR56M.
The data in the underlying table is created during the IR56B/M creation process. When you run the process, it determines whether a serial number exists for the selected pay entity and tax year. If a number is not found, the system creates a row with the default value of 0 for IR56B and 900000 for IR56M.
You can then reset the values if you have been testing the creation process and want to regenerate the data for the final time using the correct starting sheet number.
Note: If the pay entity is paying its employees in a foreign currency (and you are generating a manual IR56B), set the starting number for IR56B to 900000.
