Prepare and send 'EDM' lines

If you prepare an 'EDM' line, Profit creates an 'EDM' message (XML format) that is ready to send. You can have 'EDM' messages automatically prepared, ready to send, in the HR settings. In that case, you do not need to carry out the procedure below each time.

You can only prepare 'EDM' lines for sending if the settings for the exchange with the tax authority are correct. If this is not the case, Profit notifies you about this after you have prepared them.

You can prepare an 'EDM' line again, for example because submission failed or because the tax authority rejected the 'EDM' message. If you prepare a line that has already been prepared, previously sent or received successfully by the tax authority,Profit will inform you of this.

To prepare and send 'EDM' lines:

1. Go to: HR / Payroll / Digital messages / 'Eerstedagsmelding'.
2. Select the line.
3. Click on the action: Prepare.

   Profit prepares the required lines with the exception of lines in which Profit detects errors. If Profit detects errors, they usually concern missing data and Profit will report this. Double-click on the 'EDM' line for an overview of the errors.

   Note:

   Use the steps below if you do not automatically send the messages based on a schedule. This is only possible on the machine that has the exchange software installed.

4. Click on the action: Send/receive.

   With this, you send and receive messages only for the 'BAPI' profile within the communication service. This action is available if you are authorised for General / Communication service / Send and receive.

   You can automate sending and receiving messages through the Profit Task scheduler. In a local installation you can also accomplish this using the Command Line Utility.

5. Once the declaration has been sent, the status of the declaration changes to Sent.
6. Check whether the declaration has been sent:

   General / Communication service / Communication message.

7. Click on: Finish.
