Getting Started in Sage HRMS Link
During installation of Sage HRMS, the system installed every option you purchased, including Sage HRMS Link. Before you start using
Sage HRMS Link, you must do the following:
- Set up Sage HRMS.
- Set up an employer in
Sage HRMS or Sage HRMS Train.
- Set up security and give users access to Sage HRMS Link. Note that if you do not access Sage HRMS Link using the Master user ID, you can import and export only those fields to which you have
access.
- If you will be using
ADP PC Exchange, install
and implement PC Exchange. Sage HRMS Link
supports Versions 4, 5 and 6 of your ADP PC/Payroll System for imports
and supports all versions for exports.
- Be familiar with the
master files
and using the Sage HRMS data dictionary so you can find the fields you need
for the template.
- Know how to read the
ASCII file you intend to import into your Sage HRMS database. You should understand
what each field represents and the properties for each field.
- Understand file
formats. Sage HRMS Link imports or exports ASCII files with these
common file formats: comma-delimited, space-delimited, tab-delimited, fixed-length.
- Understand the import process and its impact on the Sage HRMS databases.
- Verify the ASCII file from your source application will work effectively with the template. You may have to prepare your ASCII Files for import.
- For additional information on developing an external interface or importing time sheet data into Sage HRMS Link, refer to the Sage HRMS Link Guide available on the Sage HRMS Product Documentation website.
