How to Import Pay Run Adjustments

Best Practice: Avoid Manual Changes in a Pay Run

The Yomly Team strongly recommends that the Payroll team avoid making manual changes directly within a pay run.

Reason

When a pay run is requeried, it resets to its default state.
Any manual edits or adjustments made previously will be lost.

Recommended Resolution

Instead of applying manual changes, you should upload or import a single file containing:

• The Payroll ID of the employee

• The Pay Category to be added or adjusted

• The Amount to include or modify

This ensures data accuracy and maintains audit integrity.

How to Import Pay Run Adjustments

Step 1: Create the Payroll Import File

Create a new file with the following columns: Payroll ID, Pay Category, Amount, and Description.
Please ensure that the Pay Category name exactly matches the name defined in your Business Pay Elements to avoid import errors.

Step 2: Import the File

1. Open the Pay Run that is currently in Open status.

2. Click on the Import button.
   
   
   
   

3. Select the file you wish to import.
   
   

   

Step 3: Map and Confirm Data

1. On the Import Options screen, match (“Map”) each column from your file with the correct system fields.
   
   

   
   
   

2. Click Import.

3. The system will display whether the import was a Success or if there were any Errors.
   
   

   

Step 4: Review the Results

Once imported successfully, go to the employee’s pay run details to view the imported values and their corresponding descriptions.
