Sumbit EPS when claiming Employment Allowance?

I have submitted the Employment Allowance by ticking the box on our April EPS, and I agree that you only need to do that once in the tax year even if the 3k is spread over a  few months.

My query is when we ran the May payroll no deduction was shown for the Employment Allowance we took against the Employers NI due.

Should I just use "adjust liabilities" to enter an adjustment to payroll liabilites does anyone know? It makes sense to me as the HMRC know we have taken the allowance from that EPS so this is just accounting for it ourselves.

If it's not deducting for that month; check on the previous months on the p32 and see if your entire allowance has been used up for this year?

Perhaps there is an opening balance affecting this?

How can I claim for Employment Allowance for the previous year 2019/2020? For the last year, I did not make this tick in my payroll system.
Can I submit the EPS file now?
