Warning Messages

This table describes the warning messages that the EDI processes generate:

Message	Reason
P6/P9 Warning : no empl rcd provided in works id for employee %1 - defaulting to 0.	A WorksID (employee ID) has been provided but does not include the employment record number. The majority of employees have an employment record number of 0 (employees with multiple jobs are the exception). Consequently, if an employment record number is not specified as part of the WorksID an employment record number of 0 is assumed and this warning is generated.
P6/P9 Warning : employee %1 has multiple jobs - will only update empl rcd 0.	The employment record number is defaulted to 0 (because the WorksID does not provide the employment record number or the employee is matched on NI number only) and the employee has multiple jobs. Only the job with an employment record number of 0 will be updated.
Warning: EDI file %1 already exists - processing continues.	A file already exists and is about to be overwritten. For outgoing (P45, P46 and WNU) transactions only. Note: Using an asterisk in the filename will prevent this problem.
P6/P9 Warning: The EDI file is flagged as a test file - no updates will be made.	The incoming P6 or P9 file has a test indicator in the header record. When the process encounters a test indicator, then the file is treated as a trial run regardless of processing type (trial or final run) so that no updates will be made to employee data.
P6/P9 Warning: Over-riding run type to Trial Run instead of Final Run.	The incoming P6 or P9 file has a test indicator in the header record and the processing type is final run. The processing type on the run control page (final run) is overridden so that no updates will be made to employee data.
Warning: Run control transaction type of %1 does not match file transaction of %2.	The transaction type on the EDI run control page doesn't match the transaction type specified in the BGM1 record of the incoming file. For incoming (P6 and P9) transactions only.
Warning: Transaction types are compatible - processing continues.	This message occurs with the previous message. Because P6, P6B, and P9 transactions all use the same structure if a user has specified the incorrect transaction type, then the incorrect transaction type is 'ignored' and processing continues.
P6/P9 Warning: Unhandled ATT2 record encountered (%1) - processing continues.	An ATT2 record is encountered for which there is no logic to process. The ATT2 record should be reviewed to determine what the data is and if it is applicable. If it is, additional program logic will be required. Note: You should log a case with the Global Support if this error occurs.
P6/P9 Warning: could not read total updates count (CNT1) record in EDI file.	The totals record (CNT1) either cannot be read or cannot be located. There is either a file structure issue or logic issue. The EDI process does not understand the structure of the file being processed. You should log a case with the Global Support if this error occurs.
P6/P9 Warning : employee %1 (%2) surname does not match %3 - processing continues.	The P6/P9 process managed to match the payee on other details
No P14/P35 Declaration for Pay Entity (%1) for Tax Year (%2) - Totals may be Incorrect.	The P35 Checklist and Declaration group box on the Pay Entity Details page has not been completed.
