Sage has released patch files for Release 5.1a, to address the following issues related to the IRP5 files and import into e@syFile:

• IRP5 code 4497 exports as a value of zero in the IRP5 file where the total of all values specified under code 40-deductions, 44-contribution and 45-information codes is zero. This was not an issue in the previous versions. The e@syFile validation failed the import of the IRP5 file with no reasons provided. Click here to read more.
• The ETI set recalculated to 0 for new employees loaded since June 2018 when you ran the ETI Period Recalculation on R5.1a+.  (The patch file will export the set as 1 in cases where there is ETI with a 0 set on the screen)
• When exporting IRP5s for multiple companies the Grand Total values for deductions and Fringe Benefit values prints against incorrect codes on the reconcilaiiton report. The export file values are however correct.
