I couldn’t create this as an idea and always ask me to select a product which I did,

So I’ll post this as conversation. One of our client suggested and posting this on their behalf.

 

The functions within Acumatica no longer align with CRA requirements.  Please see the link below from CRA.  The CRA requirements should be reviewed an an annual basis by Acumatica to ensure compliance with current processes.

In the screenshot, as per CRA, the Transmitter Number is no longer required.  This should be removed.  Also the Program Number should have "RZ", which indicates Information Return, versus the "RT" which indicates Tax Return.

    There was a known issue for the T5018 XLM File being rejected.  https://portal.acumatica.com/(W(1))/Main?ScreenId=KI2024R2&PageID=0d4ef5e3-eb4a-481c-9ac5-f51f4bd6b08b
    I would recommend updating to 24.209.0013 or greater.
