Processing a pay run consists of four main steps:
Complete the pay run for each pay frequency you have.
You can only process a pay run once per frequency, per period. For example, you can't process a monthly pay cycle twice within one tax month.

The Confirm Pay Values screen will appear to submit your Full Payment Submission (FPS) to HMRC. Enter your HMRC credentials for this to happen. These are the same details you use to log into the HMRC portal. You’ll be in one of the following situations:

▼You have previously entered your HMRC credentials but need to change them
▼You haven’t yet entered your HMRC credentials
If you submit the FPS late, you must select a late reason.
