The T4a report form as well as the T4 report form should include ALL possible codes.
The electronic file creation needs to include those additional codes as well.

T4a and T4 reporting to include ALL CRA's codes

If I want to file the T4As electronically and have other information .... I have to according to the documentation "If you need to enter multiple separate “Other Information” earnings and deductions, clear the Print Other Information option. If you do this, consult with the Canada Revenue Agency about how to report these earnings or deductions". CRA then says talk to your software provider and then refer to their website "Other information
The "Other information" area at the bottom of the T4A slip has boxes for you to enter codes and amounts that relate to other types of payments, if they apply.
The boxes are not pre-numbered as they are in the top part of the slip. Enter the codes that apply to the recipient. Income types previously reported under "Code 28 – Other income" and identified with footnote codes have, in most cases, been replaced by specific box numbers.
Note
If more than 12 codes apply to the same recipient, use an additional T4A slip. Do not repeat all the data on the additional slip. Enter only the payer's name and address, and the recipient's SIN and name, and fill in the required boxes in the "Other information" area."
Maybe when we select the option of T4A-Other Information an addition field for a code to be added linking to the earning or deduction code so that we can modify the crystal report to print those codes in the Other information boxes on the T4A.
