Your ADP Time & Attendance Representative has set up export templates for your company for each pay cycle in your Time & Attendance module database. Use the following instructions if you need to create a new template for exporting accrual data.

  1. From the Time & Attendance menu, select Maintenance.

    Note: If the Maintenance option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.

  2. Under the Payroll heading on the Maintenance page, click the Exports link.

  3. On the Exports page, click the Export Templates menu item on the left side of the page.

  4. On the right side of the page, click the New Template button. The New Export Template page opens.

  5. From the Export Type drop-down menu, select Accrual.

    Note: When you create a template for exporting accrual data, you must use ASCII Delimited as the export format. This format is automatically selected for you in the Export Format drop-down menu.

  6. Click the Next button.

  7. In the Template ID field, enter an ID that will help you easily identify the template. The template ID can be a maximum of 25 characters and can be any combination of numbers, uppercase letters, and lowercase letters. This is a required field.

  8. In the Description field, enter a short phrase that clearly identifies the data being exported. You must enter a description for each culture supported by your company. This is a required field.

  9. In the User to Receive Inbox Message on Completion field, click the Select button. In the User Lookup window, select the user whom you want to receive the Inbox message when the export is complete. The Inbox message includes the number of records exported, the number of records skipped due to errors, and an export confirmation number. This is an optional field.

  10. In the E-mail Address for Additional Notification of Completion field, enter or edit the e-mail address to which you want an e-mail message sent when the export is complete. The e-mail message includes the number of records exported, the number of records skipped due to errors, and an export confirmation number. This is an optional field.

  11. If you want to include accrual data only up to the end of the current pay period in the export file, select the Compensate for Accruals in the Next Pay Period check box.

    Note: This option is important if you have recorded anticipated accrual transactions for a future pay period. For example, if an employee has requested vacation time in the next pay period and that time has already been subtracted from the employee's vacation balance, you can choose whether or not the exported accrual data reflects this anticipated reduction in vacation time. If this check box is selected, the vacation time is restored to the total vacation time in the export. If the check box is not selected, the employee's total vacation balance is reduced in the export file by the amount of the anticipated future reduction.

  12. If you want to have Accrual Definitions appear in the export file using their accrual alias names (if applicable), select the Replace Accrual Definition with Alias (if defined) check box.

    Note: Accrual aliases allow you to combine data for several related accrual definitions. For example, you could have several different accrual definitions for sick time. You may have one for full-time, one for part-time, and one for salaried employees. The accrual definitions SICK-FT, SICK-PT, and SICK_SAL might all be associated with the alias SICK. If you select the Replace Accrual Definition with Alias check box, any accrual definitions that have been assigned to an accrual alias name are exported using the alias name only. This helps to simplify the exported data.

  13. If you want to include employees’ payroll IDs, company codes, and employment statuses in the export file, select the Include Expanded Fields check box.

  14. Click the Submit button.
