Import Wagemaster Payroll Payments Into Agrimaster

 

Once the relevant payslips have been created in Wagemaster, the payslips can be imported into Agrimaster to process payments to employees. 

Then the superannuation contributions file can be imported into Agrimaster to process the payments into the Superannuation Clearing House. Read More.

These files should be imported separately. The most likely scenario is that the payslips will be imported at the end of each pay period and the superannuation once every quarter.

Also, because Agrimaster treats these payments differently, the procedures are outlined separately. Read More.

  1. Create the payslip(s).

  2. In Agrimaster, start at the home page.

    • Please Note: Ensure you have produced a payment summary report in Wagemaster for this stage: 
      • Click on Reports.
      • Click on Payment Summary.
      • Click on the Current Pay Period to generate a report for the current PPE to reconcile.

  7. When importing payroll transactions for the first time, the import dates will need to be set by moving the top date to be the 1st date of your pay run and the bottom date to be the PPE to import. In future, the first date should, by default change to the last PPE and the second date should by default move to the latest PPE.

  8. Check that the activate employee list is correct, by clicking on the Activate Employees tab, amend the list if necessary. Now click the Import Payroll tab.

  9. Select the payment date. This is the date the employees' payroll payment will be processed/ submitted. 

  10. Select where you would like the transactions to be imported to cheques/EFT or transactions.

  11. Click Import and Create Transactions.

    Please Note: Each record created is for an individual payment to an individual bank account e.g. if an employee has $200.00 of their pay deposited into one bank account and the remainder of their pay deposited into another bank account, then two transactions will be created, one for the $200.00 allocation and one for the remainder. 

  13. Click Ok.

  14. You will be taken to the cheques, EFT, acc pay list or transaction list, depending on where in your Agrimaster cashbook you instructed the payroll and/or superannuation transaction to be sent.

Processing Of Payroll Transactions:  

Once payroll transactions have been imported into Agrimaster, they can be processed in one of 3 ways:

  1. If imported into EFT acc/pay cheques they can be sent via EFT/internet banking, then reconciled as normal - learn to pay by EFT. 

  2. If imported into transactions and cheques are being handwritten, they can be left in transactions and reconciled as normal.

  3. If imported into EFT acc/pay cheques they can be sent to the print or pay cheques in the usual manner, then reconciled as normal.
