Summary

Use this Action Clause to automate the task of importing a pay into Payroll.

Procedure

When you insert this action clause, PayGlobal displays an Import pay form. You need to complete the Details tab fields to define the pay that you want to import.

Details tab

File Name:

Mandatory field. Enter the file name that you want to import; you can include wildcard values.

Type:

Standard or Manual - select the type of pay that you want to import data into.

Create Permanent transactions:

Enabled when Type = "Manual". This Yes/No field determines whether PayGlobal copies permanent transactions into the Manual pay for employees who have no transactions and Payments tab | Auto-pay = "Yes".

Pay Period:

Select the Pay Period that you want to import data into, such as "Monthly" or "Weekly".

Period Offset:

Enter the number of days offset from today. For example, 0=Today; 1=Tomorrow; -1=Yesterday. Scheduler uses this value to identify the pay sequence that it will import data into.

Reset profiled days worked:

Yes/No field that determines whether employees' profiled days worked values are reset based on the import file.

Detailed Log:

Yes/No field that determines whether PayGlobal creates a detailed log of the import process.

File to import

PayGlobal identifies the import file based on the File Name value. It searches for the File Name using the Company Settings | Payroll | Import from T&A | Import TA tab | TA data path and Import Type values.

If the TA data path field is blank, then PayGlobal checks Payroll Import Types records for alternative TA data paths.

Pay to import into

PayGlobal uses the Type, Pay Period and Period Offset values to identify the pay sequence to import the file into. If these values identify multiple pay sequences, then PayGlobal selects the pay sequence with the lowest sequence number.
