Importing into Sage HRMS from an ASCII File
- Back
up your Sage HRMS databases before you import.
- From the Import/Export menu, select Import ASCII File into Sage HRMS.
- Double-click the template you want to use for the import. The Import to Sage HRMS page opens
with the defaults set for this template.
- Confirm all settings
are correct and change any as necessary.
- After you select the
file to import, we recommend you check the contents of the ASCII file for accuracy before you start the import process.
- From the Import to Sage HRMS page, click View File. The ASCII file you selected for import lists all employee records to be imported.
Note: Because
Sage HRMS Link opens the ASCII file as a read-only file, you cannot add,
edit, or delete any information in the file.
- Scroll through the file
and check its contents to make sure your records import correctly. Verify file type, field order, and date format.
- When you finish viewing
the file, click the Close button.
- If you determine your
import might not run correctly, make corrections before
you perform the import process. You might need to modify your import template,
edit the ASCII file, or change your import options.
- Click Start to begin the import. When the import is complete, a message box shows you the total
number of records added and imported to your databases.
- Check the imported information
for accuracy by reviewing the appropriate pages and reports in Sage HRMS.
