Creating a Payroll Export Task

To create a Payroll Export task:

  1. Select Maintenance > Payroll Settings > Payroll Close > Payroll Export Task.
  2. Click Create New Entry.
    The Payroll Export Task Detail page is displayed.
  3. Specify this information:
    Name
    Specify a unique name of the Payroll Export Task. This name is used to specify the Name field (Wbityp_Name column) in the Export Transaction page (WBINT_TRANSACTION table) when a scheduled task in the Job Scheduler runs a Payroll Export Task with the Write to Staging Table option selected.
    Description
    Optionally, specify a description of the Payroll Export Task.
    Output File Path
    Specify the path to where the export output file is to be placed. Use an absolute path.
    Output File Mask
    Specify the exported output file name's mask. The file name of the output file is generated based on the pay group and the time when the pay group was created. The pay group is indicated by the PAY_GROUP_NAME variable and the date can be formatted. See Datatime format for Layout tag.
    For example, if the output file mask is payroll-PAY_GROUP_NAME-yyyy-MM, then the resulting file name is payroll-Night328-2003-03, where Night328 is the pay group name. The file was created on March 2003.
    Output File Extension
    Optionally, specify the extension of the output file name.
    Comments
    Optionally, specify comments for this payroll export task.
    XML
    Specify the XML definition.
    Export Adjustments to a Different File

    If you selected the Adjustments to be created for this group check box when creating or editing your paygroup, you can select this option to create an additional export file for adjustments. For more information, see Creating or editing pay groups.

    The export for the adjustments uses the fields outlined in VIEW_PAYEXP_ADJUSTMENT fields. The setup is extensible allowing you to choose the fields that you want.

    Extension Script
    Specify an extension script of type payroll-export-plugin for your custom payroll export plugin. Your class must extend from PayrollExportPluginScriptable. For more information on extension scripts, see Infor Workforce Management Custom Scripting Developer Guide.
