Company Settings - Import TA

Administration | Modify Company Settings | Payroll | Import from T&A | Import TA tab

Summary

PayGlobal uses these settings to import Time & Attendance data into Payroll from PayGlobal T&A or an external source.

You can set up only one import path, type and file on the Import TA tab, but you can set up additional paths, types and files in Payroll Import Types records.

Fields

TA data path:

Path for the import data. If you store each type of import file in a different location, then you can specify the appropriate paths in each Payroll Import Types record and on the Import TA tab.

Important: The path must end with a backslash. For example, C:\Program Files\PayGlobal\Companies\TreeTop\Import\

When you run the Import Pay command and open the Import Files pick list, PayGlobal searches for import files in all TA data paths.

Import Type:

Format of the import file:

Note that the Workforce Management import type does not use files to import the payroll transactions, but obtains data directly from Workforce Management. Therefore, the TA data path field is disabled if this import type is selected, while the Import file field allows a filtering of the external pay run data items based on the pay run description. A wildcard name of * (see below) means that no filter is applied and all unprocessed pay runs will be retrieved.

Import file:

Enter a wildcard name for the type of import file, such as *.adt or *.csv. The Import file values determine the types of files that PayGlobal displays in the Import Pay | Import Files pick list.

For example:

If Import file = *.adt, then PayGlobal displays only ADT files in that path.
If Import file = *.adt in a Payroll Import Types record, and Import file = *.csv in on the Import TA tab, then PayGlobal displays ADT and CSV files in that path.

Salary H (hours) type import:

Yes/No field that determines whether PayGlobal imports or ignores employees with Salary H-type when you import data from T&A into PayGlobal.

Default invalid Cost Centres to employee:

Sometimes, you could have a T&A cost centre that is invalid for PayGlobal payroll.

Yes - Import invalid cost centres from T&A
No - Use a default PayGlobal cost centre in place of the invalid cost centre.

Don't change invalid Cost Centres:

You can define what PayGlobal does when invalid cost centre codes are imported. This field is disabled if Default invalid Cost Centres to employee = "Yes".

Yes - PayGlobal imports the invalid cost centres. The invalid cost centres are reported in the Import Audit Log, and you must correct them manually.
No - PayGlobal searches for valid cost centre codes according to the cost centre code hierarchy. If PayGlobal cannot find a valid cost centre, then it does not import the invalid cost centre code and it reports details in the Import Audit Log.

Append unknown Job codes:

Yes/No field that determines whether PayGlobal imports job codes that do not already exist in the database.

Tax override period Allowance:

You can send a taxation override period from T&A to Payroll by selecting the appropriate allowance.

Multiply fixed deductions:

Yes/No field that determines whether PayGlobal multiplies fixed deductions in the taxation override period by the quantity specified in the transaction.
