Release note

It is possible to submit a fund within Tronc2 with £0.00 allocated to employees, and occasionally, this will be correct.  

However, the validation pop-up in the submission process will alert users when nothing has been allocated, to make them aware so they can double check the submission is correct.

• To submit a fund in Tronc2, go to Payments > Employee Payments
• Select the Location
• Select the Fund
• Select the Tronc Period
• Select Submit to Payroll

If the Total Allocated (fig 1) is £0.00 upon submission to payroll, a new pop-up box will appear to warn the user that nothing is being paid to employees.

• If the Allocated amount is correct, select OK and the period will be submitted to payroll
• If the Allocated amount is not correct, select Cancel and the period will not be submitted, and amendments can be made to the allocation
