Missing Type Field

Occasionally Xero may be missing some Pay Item setup that needs to be resolved before you can upload data. The usual cause of this error is Pay Items that do not have a Type defined. They can be identified by the warning icon next to them in Payroll Settings > Pay Items. The Type (and optionally the Category) must be set and the Pay Item saved.
These steps must be completed for all Pay Items that show the warning icon.
