Show Salary Component with zero value

wale · November 5, 2018, 12:41pm

Hi,

By default in ERPNext, Salary Components with zero value are not shown in the Salary Slip. A number of organizations however prefer that some components appear in the Salary Slip even when they have zero value

Is there any way to set this currently?

Kind regards,

Still no progress on this?

I have employees with one earning compnent and no deduction. I’d like to show income tax as zero rather than blank. Payslip doesn’t look complete:

You can do that in the Print Format no? Use an HTML/CSS Print format and you can do this fairly easily.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi JayRam,

Not all users have a zero income tax deduction. Those with basic above a certain amount are not a problem as the income tax deduction will show.

The challenge is users below the IT threshold.

I understand. The HTML Print format can be designed in such a way that the Income Tax Deduction shows for all uses. If there is a value in the Salary Slip, that value is fetched and reported/printed. If there is no entry for Income Tax Deduction, this line item still shows in the PDF, Print Format, but shows with a 0 value.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Thanks, I’ll explore this.

If you’re looking for a more structural approach, the relevant line in the code is here:

github.com

frappe/erpnext/blob/bc462fa1405db3d845cb78bf74e43b7a48f5fccb/erpnext/payroll/doctype/salary_slip/salary_slip.py#L461


      
          			self.add_employee_benefits(payroll_period)
          		else:
          			self.add_tax_components(payroll_period)
          
          
		self.set_component_amounts_based_on_payment_days(component_type)
          
          
	def add_structure_components(self, component_type):
          		data = self.get_data_for_eval()
          		for struct_row in self._salary_structure_doc.get(component_type):
          			amount = self.eval_condition_and_formula(struct_row, data)
          			if amount and struct_row.statistical_component == 0:
          				self.update_component_row(struct_row, amount, component_type)
          
          
	def get_data_for_eval(self):
          		'''Returns data for evaluating formula'''
          		data = frappe._dict()
          
          
		data.update(frappe.get_doc("Salary Structure Assignment",
          			{"employee": self.employee, "salary_structure": self.salary_structure}).as_dict())
          
          
		data.update(frappe.get_doc("Employee", self.employee).as_dict())

Removing the words amount and should print the component even if the value is zero. Better yet, you could create a setting in the component definition that would make printing if zero an option.
