Issue
...
Problem: When the user clicks Fill Employees while creating a WPS Salary File, no employees are added, and the list remains empty.
Cause
Starting from FirstBIT Contracting v2.1.1.32, the WPS employee selection logic has been updated.
...
Previously, only the Use for WPS option in the payroll accrual type was required. Any employee assigned to an accrual with this option enabled was automatically included in the WPS file.
With the updated functionality, employees must also be explicitly marked by enabling the Include in WPS Salary File option in their employee card.
...
- Open the Employee card.
- Make sure the Include in WPS Salary File checkbox is selected.
- Save the employee card.
- Return to the WPS Salary File and click Fill Employees again.
And it is also important control WPS Entity should be same with Entity for salary amounts calculations - if it is not same, system will not auto populate amounts in WPS file:
Employees with this option options enabled will now be included in the WPS file.
Why this change?
This enhancement was introduced in FirstBIT Contracting v2.1.1.32 and later to provide more granular control over WPS file generation. The new functionality introduces a two-level control for WPS file generation. It allows users to explicitly decide which employees should be included, rather than relying solely on payroll accrual settings.📎 See the screenshot below for the location of the Include in WPS Salary File option.An employee must first be explicitly included in the WPS file by enabling the Include in WPS Salary File option in the employee card. Once enabled, the Use for WPS setting on individual payroll accrual types determines which of the employee's accruals are included in the WPS file.
