Symptom

Improper setup can lead to errors on the poster file stating that it doesn't balance or an account is missing.

Cause

It's often caused by the Debit Account not being set up for CSSTDR.

Resolution

  1. Setup your CSST Deduction and make sure that you select Gross Pay for the Calculate Rate on, and select CSST Premiums for the Further Identification.

  3. Setup a CSSTDR code. It doesn't need to have the Further Identification selected. It's used to read to the account for the debit portion of your CSST code.
