Third Party Payroll Import Into BMS
In BMS, click the Payroll menu option (click OK thru the Payroll Termination Notice). Although the main Payroll System has been discontinued, this is where you will find the direct Payroll Import module. Select the Payroll Import (CSV) module. It should be the first option.
The Payroll Import screen will appear as follows (this is a similar screen to the G/L Journal Import screen, but this one is just for Payroll):
Initially, you will need to access this module to access the Download Example CSV file to use as a guide to organize the data from your payroll provider so it will import properly into BMS. When you have a file ready to import, first make sure the Mode box is set to Generic CSV and not PenSoft Detail. Then click the Select File button, and locate the new payroll file on your desktop. Click Open. Once the file is selected, click the Import CSV button.
Review the data about to be imported, making sure the Debit and Credit Amounts are in balance—see example below. Also, make sure the Journal Date is the Payroll Date. Totals for each employee will be lumped together. Click the Import button to proceed. This process will create a separate Payroll Journal that can be printed and cleared separate from your other G/L Journals. See below for an example of the Import Detail screen.
