    Hi @Saz02h

    Have your previous submissions included an allowance item that has been setup as an Other-type allowance item? If so, were those submissions successful or did they also return this error?

    Secondly, if you're using an allowance item that is setup as Other, does it have a description entered in the setup of the item? Screenshot example below.

    The error response you've received mentions that a description must be entered for an Other-type allowance so I'd suggest checking this by going to Settings ➡️ Pay Items ➡️ Allowances.
    It know it states optional on the description field but I'd recommend entering a description if there isn't one already.

    Hi @Saz02h

    Have you previously used these allowance items in a previous pay run submission and if so, were those submissions successful?
