STP2 Send Update Event Error - Specify Category

I have balancing issues with EOY reports and need to Send Update Event to see if this will fix my discrepencies.

In another company had no issue with this, entered my name and it updated with a new line and $0 value in the STP Reports table.

For this current company it continues to come back with the attached error - "You must specify a category"
I have fun the Check Payroll Details button when you go into Payroll Reporting
I have manually checked all categories that they have been assigned.

 

Why can't I run this function?

    The message you are encountering is not a payroll-specific message. It has been generated as Setup>>Preferences>System>>Turn on Category Tracking: Categories are Required on All Transactions has been enabled in the company file. Unticking that option or selecting the option to be Not Required will allow you to record the transactions without the message appearing.
