Import *_BCH.csv Payroll Batch

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

We are in the testing phase of implementing GP. The method of entering payroll information is through a csv file that we import via Tools>Utilities>Payroll Canada>Import & Export. The Import/Export log indicates that the payroll batch is a successful import. However, after looking into the Quick Transaction Entry screen, there a department fields that should not be blank. I did review the csv file that was imported and it contained all department numbers.

First, why are some department fields blank and the rest not blank? Does this indicate a process issue on my side?

Second, are there implications on leaving the fields blank?

    Are all those departments of same length? Some time import don't work if values have more characters then allowable length.

    Hi Almas!

    Thank you for looking into my question. We use Department Numbers. The numbers are three-digits: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600. I'm sure three digits are within allowable length.

    We're continuing to diagnose. What we have determined so far are:

    (1) IF (the employee has no Distributions listed in the Employee Card), THEN the Department Number appears in the Quick Entry Screen.

    (2) IF (the employee has a Distribution whereby Department 100 is allocated 100%), THEN the Department Number does not appear in the Quick Entry Screen.

    (3) IF (the employee has a Distribution whereby Department 100 is allocated 50% and Department 200 is allocated 50%), THEN the Department Number does not appear in the Quick Entry Screen.

    In this case I don't think it's process issue at your end but the default behavior of GP window, even if I manually create batch and enter Employee with distribution, it will not populate department field, whereas it will fill department field if there is no department distribution fro employee. you answer your own question.
