  1. Image Added

  2. Primary Column – here you define the letter of the column from the excel file which will be used as the primary key value. Usually, it is a column with a PIN.

  1. Image Added

  2. Add / Delete buttons – are used to define the set of transactions that will be performed during import. Usually, only one transaction is defined per each import.

    Image Modified

  3. Transaction nr - Integer value identifying the transaction number. The import utility will import transaction by transaction, the transaction number is used to group all the field assignments for one transaction.

  4. Table Name - predefined list of database tables that can be used for import.

    Image Modified

    In total Import Spreadsheet contains 3 database tables:
    -  Table PW001PAY (Payroll Entries in current and future periods)
    -  Table PW001PAI (Payroll Entry Additional Info on the Entry Code).
    -  Table PW001P0Y (Person's Payroll information - mostly taken from Constant page in Payroll window).

    Info

    1)  PW001PAY and PW001P0Y tables can not be imported at the same time.
    For each of them you need to make a separate setup each time you make the import.
    If you make import only for one of those tables, then there is no need to delete the setup. You can re-use it the next time when you do the import.

    2) To import PW001PAI table you must import PW001PAY table as well. PW001PAI can not be imported by itself.
    In order to add the link between PAI information and PAY entries you have to import PW001PAY.REF field with "Y" value.
    Columns from both tables should be placed on the same worksheet. PAI information should be places in the same line as PAY Entry Code for which you import the Additional Payment Info.

    Image Modified


  5. Update if record exist - enables the input to the column "Key Fields" in the Details screen.
    If this option is set, the system needs to know what are the key fields identifying the transaction that

...

  1. needs to be updated.

2.3. Add transaction details

A list of fields to be imported & the rules of import should be defined for each existing transaction.

In order to do this select the corresponding Transaction & click Details.

...

Image Added
  1. Field - offers you a list of fields from the selected database table that you can use in the import
    e.g. PIN, ENTRYCODE, ENTRYFIELD1 (also called L21 or Amount), ENTRYFIELD2 (also called L22 or Quantity/Days) etc.
    If you don't know which payroll fields correspond to which database tables, contact Adonis support for assistance.

  2. XLS Reference - defines the column (or cell) that contains data to be imported into selected field (e.g. A1, A2, B1, B7 etc.)
    It is possible to set not only the cell but also the sheet that it belongs to (e.g. SHEET1!A1, SHEET2!A1 etc.) Reference should be the specific column from the Excel file which corresponds the PIN field on the payroll table.

...

  1. Image Added

  1. Batch - when XLS reference is set to a cell value (meaning that it is the same for the entire batch), the Batch option should be set off (disabled).

  2. Mandatory - defines if the value in this field is mandatory or not. When set and the value is missing - the corresponding transaction line is skipped.
    Mandatory should be checked accordingly as importing will not be possible without knowing which person it should be imported to.

  3. Key Field - is taken to count only if the Update record if exist is set Onfor the Transaction on Properties level. Otherwise, it is treated the same as Mandatory.
    If both options are set - the transaction line checks if the table already has the record with Key Field values. If so - such record is updated. If not - the record is created.
    If multiple records meet the set of Key Fields - the system displays warning & update is not performed. This is to avoid updating multiple records by mistake.

3.   Import procedure

  1. In the initial dialogue window, you should browse the root folder for imported files and click Prepare.
