AccuBuild can import time card records from third party time clock programs. The export file must be in an Ascii format and contain the required data. The Time Card Import Tab is used to set up the default settings for the time card import and these settings are stored in the company file AsciProp.adt. Be sure to review the document titled Business Rules for Time Card Import for more information.
| o | Time Card Import Provider - Identifies the third party company providing the time card system. Besides the AccuBuild Excel Template, NOVATime Technology, Inc. is the only option at this time. |
| o | Trans Code Cross Reference - These fields identify the transaction codes within the Ascii file that will correspond to the AccuBuild time card transaction codes for regular pay and overtime pay. |
| o | Ascii File Type - Identifies the type of Ascii file as Delimited or Fixed Length records. For delimited text you will need to enter the Quote Symbol and the Delimiter Symbol to be used in the delimited text file. Note: Only fixed length Ascii files are supported at this time. |
| o | Ascii File - Identifies the name and path of the Ascii file to be imported. Use the Browse button on the right to locate the file and set the path. |
| The following is an example of an Ascii specification file: |
| E_NO,1,6 |
TRANS_DESC,7,3
HOURS,10,8
JOB,27,8
PHASE,35,7
Note: When using a third party time clock system where the state code is not included in the import file and the state code does not exist on the job, the system will default to the employee state code, or first state code of the employee if multiple state codes exist, so that the state code no longer needs to be set up on the job for time card import purposes. (Version 8.5.0.2)
| o | Reset to Default Settings - This button will load the AccuBuild defaults for the selected Time Card Import Provider. |
