Payroll "Advanced" upgrade. Within Opening Balances for emplyee, NIable Pay PT to FUST and FUST to UEL are present even though we are not in Freeport Zone?Sounds correct?

I can see how this would be concerning. These fields typically shouldn't apply to your situation.

In response to the issue you're experiencing with the unexpected appearance of NIable Pay PT to FUST and FUST to UEL fields in your Payroll Advanced upgrade, despite your business not being located in a Freeport Zone, I highly recommend contacting HMRC for guidance.

Contacting HMRC directly will help ensure that you receive the most accurate and official guidelines relevant to your specific situation, thereby providing peace of mind and administrative correctness moving forward.

Both individuals and businesses must understand and manage these contributions effectively to stay compliant and ensure financial stability regarding benefit entitlements. For more details, please refer to this article: Rates and allowances: National Insurance Contributions.
