How to correct the error
- Check whether the organisation number for the sub-entity and the calendar month you specified are correct. You will find organisation numbers at www.brreg.no.
- You do not have to do anything if you have recently registered or altered an organisation number in the Register of Legal Entities.
- If the organisation number is incorrect, change it to the correct number.
- If the calendar month is incorrect, change it to the correct month.

- Submit the a-melding when the error has been corrected. If you use a payroll system, check with your system supplier if you are not sure how to make corrections in your system.
Example 1 – The sub-entity is closed/wound up – reporting of employment
A retail chain had a sub-entity which closed/wound up trading (not transferred) with effect from 31 March. In the a-melding for April, the chain reports employees (employment) under the closed sub-entity, either with an open end date or with an end date after the sub-entity has closed. The store receives error message MAGNET_EDAG-196.
Either the sub-entity's organisation number or the month is wrong. Employment must not be reported with a sub-entity which is closed/wound up. If the month is correct, the sub-entity must be deleted and reported again. If the month is wrong, you must first delete what was reported under the wrong month, and then you must report for the correct month.
Example 2 – The sub-entity is closed/wound up – reporting of income
A retail chain had an sub-entity which closed/wound up trading (not transferred) with effect from 31 March. In the a-melding for June, the retail chain specifies the payment of holiday pay to a former employee of the closed sub-entity. The chain receives error message MAGNET_EDAG-196.
The chain does not need to do anything.
Example 3 – The sub-entity has been erroneously closed/wound up
A retail chain had a sub-entity which was erroneously declared as being closed/wound up with effect from 31 March. In the a-melding for April, the chain reports employment and income for employees of this sub-entity. The chain receives error message MAGNET_EDAG-196.
The chain must contact the Register of Legal Entities in order to have the sub-entity re-established. The consequence of the rule will be eliminated with effect from the first report after the sub-entity is re-established.
