Active companies for HMRC notifications

Previously, HMRC Messages were automatically active for all Companies and had a default Download from date. As of Flexipay 2.55, a new setting has been added to the RTI submission tab of the Company details window which allows you to selectively enable HMRC messages for specific Companies. Once a Company is marked as Active, you should then specify a sensible Download from date to stop Flexipay from downloading Messages that you would regard as too old.

 While Active, the Company will be included when you click Download messages in the HMRC messages menu in the Flexipay toolbar:

 

 

 

Upgrading to Flexipay 2.55 will tick this checkbox if the Company already has HMRC messages downloaded, and will leave it blank and remove the Download from date if they have not yet downloaded any.

 Additionally, new functionality has been added to the Download messages feature. If a Company has not yet specified a Download from date, you will be prompted for one when you begin downloading the messages:

Enter the desired date, and then choose whether you want to use this date for all newly activated companies without a Download from date or just one. Click OK to continue, and the process will proceed as normal.
