RDP calculations consistently higher than required

Legacy KB ID: 5110

Question

Why is the RDP calculation consistently higher than it should be?

Answer

Untick any unnecessary items selected for inclusion in the RDP calculation.

The Issue

By default, any Wages and Additional payroll item that incurs PAYE tax, is added to the RDP item’s list of payroll items to consider for its calculation. 

If the payroll item is of a type that should not be included in the RDP calculation, then Accounts Business is including an item that it should not, and will calculate an amount higher than necessary. 

Workaround

Adjust the payroll item list in the RDP items.

1.    Lists > Payroll Items List > RDP – ADP;

2.    Progress to the Include payments in RDP screen (second to last screen);

3.    Untick all payroll items not included for RDP calculations;

4.    Repeat these steps for all RDP items.

Your RCP item should now calculate the correct amounts.
