Timesheet/Variable Deduction Export Process

The Timesheet/Variable Deduction Export Process offers the ability to export out the Timesheets or Variable Deduction records from a selected batch into .CSV files. The .CSV export file is defined in the exact format as used by the Timesheet/Variable Deduction Interface Process.

Although batches of entries may be exported for many purposes, this process was generated to facilitate the moving of batch entries from one pay period to another. You can run this export and without transferring any files, run the Timesheet/Variable Deduction Interface using the location of SRB$OPSWRK: and the file name ######.CSV as supplied on the report header, to pull the entries into the another batch under the same or another pay period.

If necessary, the Excel icon can be used to open the CSV export file to adjust the entry values before importing them back into the payroll.
