Once all timesheets have been approved, you can export your data directly to Sage 50.

IMPORTANT: Please note that we cannot export transactions to time banks in Sage. This is a limitation imposed by the integration format (hours cannot be deducted). You must therefore manage time banks in Sage and not in Agendrix, if you have one.

To do so, simply follow the steps in this article.


1- Finalize your pay period

To avoid errors, we always suggest that you finalize your pay period.

To do so, simply

  1. Go to the "Attendance" tab in the main menu on the left

  2. Click on the pay period status to the right of the date

  3. Change the status to "Finalized".


2- Export the file to Agendrix

Once you've finalized your pay period, simply export the file and save it.

To do so, simply

  1. Click on "Export Pay Period" in the top right-hand corner.

  2. Select "Sage 50"

  3. Decide whether you want to export payroll for all branches and positions.

  4. Click on "Export"

Finish by saving the file on your computer.


3- Import the file into Sage 50

To import the file into Sage 50, follow these steps :

  1. Go to "File"

  2. Select "Import/Export"

  3. Choose the option "Import timesheets".

A timesheet import wizard window will open to select the file you had previously saved.

On page 3 ''Data format'' , make sure you select the following options;

Separators: " Each field is separated by a comma. Decimals are indicated by a dot " and

Format: Date = yyyy-MM-dd and time = numeric

On page 4, you will have the opportunity to correct any fields that have not been set up in Sage 50, if applicable, and complete the import.

To complete payroll processing following timesheet import;

  1. Click on "Serial Payroll Cheques" in the main menu

  2. Click on the "Payroll" tab in the options at the top of the page

  3. Click on "Add timesheet and timesheet hours" in the drop-down menu that opens

  4. Choose the dates of the pay period you are importing

  5. Click on "Ok"

The hours will then be added and you can finish processing your payroll as usual.
