This article describes a workaround for the issue with Utleggstrekk reported as a positive amount instead of a negative

...

Description

When sending A-melding to Altinn, the customer receives the following error in the feedback. 

...

Answer

...

The payroll amount from the Entry code defined as Utleggstrekk in EDAG must always be reported as a negative amount. Even if the entry code is set as a Deduction, it seems the system still reports it as a positive amount. 

The workaround is to dedicate a separate field on the entry code to report the amount from. 

Example: 
Script of entry code will normally be as per the below, and on EDAG tab the coding is set in the line L61. 
L61 = XXX 

...

Keep this script but add the following: 

L69 = L61*(-1) 

...

On Entry Code => EDAG tab, move the Utleggstrekkskatt coding to the line L69.

Example before adjustment:

...

Example after adjustment (correct coding to be applied):

...

Note:
Some of our customers might have more than 1 Entry Code with Utleggstrekk coding, for example:

...

In such case each Entry Code should be modified as described above.
