V/I 2017 import to Payroll data entry. Importing regular and overtime from an external system. Some employees get ""Auto Earnings"", which are calculated automatically during normal data entry. However, the auto earnings aren't calculated along with the import, and I don't see a way to make that happen. Do any of you know how to make it work?

Is it possible that auto earnings and auto deductions are consolidated under the same flag? Interesting to find out if there is a simple solution as auto earnings have been a feature for quite some time.

This could be a WAD. Engineering states that importing from Time Card entry will not do it by design. So the question is whether you can add some perform logic to the import. https://support.na.sage.com/selfservice/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=32136&sliceId=1&isLoadPublishedVer=&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_Article&stateId=2091&cmd=displayKC&dialogID=89633&ViewedDocsListHelper=com.kanisa.apps.common.BaseViewedDocsListHelperImpl&openedFromSearchResults=true

I don't know of a way to kick off auto pay during import. I have always used the Auto Pay feature from the Pay Cycle window. Mine have always been salary employees so it works great to use the Auto Pay.

How about bringing in 3 temp variables that are populated from PR1: PayMethod, AutoPayHrs, and PayRate1. Make the Rate, Hrs, and Amount conditional on whether the employee is Salary or Hourly. If Salary, pull from the other incoming TEMP fields, otherwise pull from your import source.

Update: Sage says that this is resolved with v2018 because payroll is now business framework. I have to rewrite the V/I job from scratch, and as @JaneCavanaugh pointed out in another post, it has to be split into 2 import jobs. I haven't been able to test that yet because I can't get the customer's payroll data to convert. I'll let y'all know if anything noteworthy is revealed on that score. Heavy sigh.
