Contractor in Employee cards not accepted for STP2

Hi there, 

When searching for an answer to my query, I came across the following response for a similar setup re having a contractor on the Employee cards (for the purposes of being able to sleect as a Salesperson, but not for Payroll)

"For a card to appear in the Salesperson list for selection on an invoice you will need to set up them up with an Employee card i.e. Card File>>Card Lists>>Employee>>New.

If they are not to be paid by the company my recommendations would be to do the following:

• Set their Employment Basis to be "Other" - Payroll Detials>>Personal Details section
• Set a termination date in their card to be 1 day after their listed start date - Payroll Detials>>Personal Details section

 What this will do is set up the employee's card and also terminate them while not making them appear in payment summaries. As they are terminated they will not appear in Payroll but as their card is active they will appear in the Salesperson list for selection."

We have one contractor, for whom we do not need to be included on the payroll, but we wish to include them on the employee cards so that we can select as a Salesperson in invoicing.

BUT STP2 is saying we need to correct/add details for this contractor, even though selected as Other Not Reported for Employment basis.

(It was easy enough to add an address etc, but not sure what to enter for the following as contractor is a company essentially - can't really complete these other fields: DOB/Start date?/TFN/Income Type)

Is there a work around for this please, as don't want to have to make this card inactive for every payrun, just to be able to do pays.

Happy to be able to take off employee cards, but still need to be able to select as a salesperson in invoicing please?

Thanks
