Introduction

The file (current version EmployeeDataTakeOn.xltm) should be opened from a link rather than from within excel. Once open the Data Input worksheet should be selected and the fields entered as described below. Mandatory columns are marked below with an (M) and have a Bold header in the file. Once completed the Control worksheet tab should be selected and the Validate Data button clicked.
 
If errors are found the user will be asked whether they wish to correct the errors prior to export (at this point yes should be clicked unless sure that the validation can be ignored).

On the Data Input sheets any error will  be highlighted in red in the right hand corner of the field, hovering over this will give details of the error.

Once corrected the Validate Data button should be re-clicked. The user will get the message that 3 separate csv files will be created and is asked to specify the location where the files will be created. The 3 files created are EmployeeStarter.csv, EmployeeYTDNIBalances.csv and EmployeeYTDPayBalances.csv. In the case  of  the two balances files these will be empty unless this is a mid-year migration where YTD values are being imported (if empty they do not require import).


The created files should be imported via the Import/Export -> Import Data screen. Selecting the relevant matching import format
