​Can I process multiple lumpsum (tax) directives with the same tax code on the same payslip?

Yes. However, users will receive an error when processing multiple lumpsum (tax) directives using the same tax code/component from the dropdown list.

      

      

To process the other tax directive/s, select another component from the dropdown list or search for and rename a component with the same tax code.

Step 1: Search for and rename the component with the same tax code on company level.

      Navigate > Configuration > Payroll > Payroll Config > Payroll Components

      

      

      

Step 2: Add the directive using the new component

      Navigate > Employee > Payroll Processing > Edit Payslip > Other Actions > Lump Sum Directive
