Importing Payroll (and Employee) Data from a text File

Use this module only if you have copied your existing data into an ASCII delimited file in exactly the format as published by PRSoft. Refer to the Table Structure for the Payroll Data File.

If your data is in Microsoft Excel, just perform a Save As and select the CSV (MS-DOS)(*.CSV) format. This creates an ASCII file in the correct format for importing into PRPay.

1. Start PRPay.
2. Select File > Import > Payroll (or Employee) data from ASCII file.
3. Click the Browse button and select your ASCII delimited text file. (We assume you have exported this file from your application, or created it from programming code).
4. Click the View to look at the data. You can edit any records at this point if you want.
5. Click Close. You will be prompted to accept the data. (it has not been imported at this time). Select Yes to add the imported data to your existing payroll data file. Click No to cancel the import.
