What Payroll Item Import And Copy Does

Payroll Item Import and Copy helps payroll users add many payroll items at once instead of entering them manually employee by employee.

This is useful for variable payroll items such as monthly allowances, deductions, custom hours, or adjustments from another system.

Practical Example

Finance sends a CSV file with monthly allowances for 80 employees. Instead of adding each allowance manually, payroll imports the file, maps employee IDs and amounts, previews the results, fixes any errors, and imports the items.

Basic Steps

  1. Prepare the CSV file.
  2. Open the payroll item import or copy screen.
  3. Select the import template.
  4. Upload the file.
  5. Preview the rows.
  6. Fix missing employees or invalid amounts.
  7. Import the items.
  8. Run Draft Review.

Common Mistakes

  • Importing without previewing.
  • Using employee names instead of employee IDs when IDs are required.
  • Mapping a deduction as an allowance.
  • Importing the same file twice.
