What’s Mean by Sage Error 7866
The above error states that instead of placing a “0” next to categories X, C, and W, a number greater or less than 0 has been wrongly placed. The error is caused usually when a wrong refund is made due to an incorrect category selected, or maybe caused while processing manual NIC. This, instead of being a bug is more of a technical anomaly or a manual error that has occurred while incorrectly processing the NI for the employee affected. To rectify this, either edit the data or roll back and re-process the effective employee.

Ways to Fix Sage Error 7866
What are a Rollback and things that must be taken into account while doing a Rollback?
Rollback helps you to go back to a specific pay period pertaining to the employee for which the error has occurred and permanently delete the Pay processing from the affected period to all subsequent pay periods. However, note that the employee’s basic records such as the address and contact details won’t be affected. The only segments that will be permanently deleted will be the calmative values such as Pay History, and Absence Records for the rolled-back time frame. After the rollback, the Employer’s Payment Record will be adjusted accordingly. Follow the steps to fix the Sage error 7866 related to payment.
Ways I: Process of a rollback – How to rollback an employee’s Pay run data for the selected period
