What causes this issue?

The IT0224 record under consideration has a Province of Residence field
which differs from the Province of Employment.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

The system will create a IT0462 record using the Province of
Employment as the subtype.
For Canadian Net Payroll to run successfully for this employee, an
additional IT0462 record with the subtype equal to the Province of
Residence (&V1&) is also required.
Tax information specific to &V1& is not available
in the current IT0224 record. Therefore, the system cannot
automatically generate this record.

How to fix this error?

Create a IT0462 record using the Province of Residence &V1& as the
subtype. Populate this record with the appropriate tax data.
