"Brokers" Section

• The Unprocessed column should normally be zero.

Warning

If you have amounts in the Unprocessed column, you should analyze them. It may be a previous year correction that should appear on the 20XX tax slip. If you need to add it, just check it.

• The Adjustment column is used to modify an income.

Warning

If the income is incorrect, it is best to go back and do a calculation to get proof of the modification.

If you have a Negative amount in the **Total **column, you need to uncheck the box.

• The Total column reflects the slip amount. You can verify this column using the remuneration report that we generated at the beginning in the section "6- Verify remuneration of brokers as well as brokers who incorporate during the year". If you have an amount in the column without a check mark, it is because the broker does not have a social insurance number so you cannot continue.

"Incorporations" Section

• This section is rarely used, so it is normal to have amounts in the Unprocessed column as no slips have been produced.

• If you want to produce slips, you must check the last column.

"Employees" and "Suppliers" Section

• The Unprocessed column should normally be zero. If an amount appears in this employee column, it will automatically be included in the Total column.

• The Total column reflects the slip amount. You can verify this column using the payroll report that we generated at the beginning in the section "7- Verify employee journal".

• After complete verification, click on Submit.

• Your slips are now produced.
