IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING PAYROLL DATA IMPORT:

1. Employees are being identified by their first name + middle name + last name, so be attentive that employees' names be spelled in ADP RUN payroll and AMG Attendance System in the same way.
2. Categories in ADP RUN payroll are being matched with categories in AMG Attendance System by categories' export code names, that's why, for example, if in the ADP RUN payroll you have "TEST Hours" category, then in the "AMG Attendance System -> Categories" for the corresponding category you should enter TEST as an export code name.
3. The system will output warnings in the following cases:
   • In the file being imported there are employees who are missing in ADP RUN payroll (e.g. in the file being imported there is Test Test employee, but in the ADP RUN payroll there is no such employee)
   • In the file being imported there is no information about some employees existing in ADP RUN payroll (e.g. in the ADP RUN payroll there is Test Test employee, but in the file being imported there is no such employee)
   • In the file being imported there are category export names which do not exist in ADP RUN payroll (e.g. in the file being imported there is VACATION category, but in the ADP RUN payroll there is no such category)
   • In the file being imported there are categories which do not have export names (e.g. in the file being imported there are some hours category export name of which is empty, because in the AMG system it was not entered)
   • In the file being imported there are categories the type of which is different from the one mentioned in ADP RUN payroll (e.g. in the file being imported there is VACATION category the type of which is Hours, but in the ADP RUN payroll the type of VACATION category is Money)

NOTE: If the system outputs any of the above mentioned warnings, then ONLY the record to which warning refers is NOT being imported, all other data are being successfully imported.
