Importing Service Bureau Data
After creating a service bureau template, you are ready to
import your ADP data into Sage HRMS.
To Import Service Bureau Data
- Back up your Sage HRMS databases before you import.
- From the Import/Export menu, select Import Service Bureau File into Sage HRMS. The Service Bureau Import page opens.
- All the templates you
created are listed on this page. Each template lists the employer, the date and time the ADP master file was created, the version number of your ADP PC/Payroll System, and the name of the ADP master file. Scroll to the
right to see details.
- You can view the data
in the file or view the actual ASCII file created.
- To view data in a file, select the template and click View Data. The file data is displayed in columns. Each employee record appears as one line in the master file.
Scroll to the right to see all the columns. When done, click the Close button.
- To view the actual ASCII file as it was created with your ADP PC/Payroll System, select the template and click View File. Scroll to the right to see the complete file. Generally, each employee record consists of five lines. This file is read-only and
cannot be edited. When done, click the Close button.
- Click Start to import the data using the selected template. Or click Start All to import service bureau data using all the templates listed on the page. Sage HRMS Link displays the employee's name and Social Security number as it is processed.
- When processing is complete, a message box shows you the number of new employees added and the total employees processed. If you clicked Start All, the message box also displays the total number of employers processed.
