Scope

This article applies to FirstBIT Contracting v2.1.1.32 and later.

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.

A new employee-level option, Include in WPS Salary File, has been introduced to provide better control over which employees should be included in the WPS file.

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.

Resolution

1. Open the Employee card.
2. Make sure the Include in WPS Salary File checkbox is selected.
3. Save the employee card.
4. 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 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. 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.
