FPS Adjustment

This is used to send an adjusted FPS to HMRC via the Government Gateway.

Overview
This is for sending a revised FPS because the original one had an error in it.

Normally you fix such errors by adjusting the subsequent payrun, this will then have the correct figures for the next FPS.

The FPS Adjustment is used when you cannot (or do not wish) make the alteration in the next payrun.
Examples of this are:

You have submitted a FPS and then were informed that the employee has left and you need to reduce his earnings, and hence Tax & NIC.
You have submitted a FPS with a substantial error, say entering 100 hrs overtime instead of 1 hr, and you wish to recreate a proper payslip and not want to pay the wrong Tax & NIC to HMRC.
