How do I set up foreign income pay transactions linked to foreign income IRP5 codes?

First, you must add the employee's work address by selecting a different work address here: Employee profile > Rates tab > Exemption reason menu. If the country for the work address you selected is not South Africa, foreign IRP5 income codes will be available when you add new Pay Transactions under Settings. If a code isn't listed, you can contact support to add it for you.
