Import payroll details from MYOB PowerPay Ô v5

The Import MYOB PowerPayTM function imports your employee and payroll details from MYOB PowerPay v5 into Elite Payroll. You can only import MYOB details into a new Elite Payroll company.

The Employee list and details are imported, as well as your Pays list and details. Because not all of your lists are imported, you'll still have to enter some details, but most details will have been imported.

Important Note:
This utility is intended only to assist in the conversion of your MYOB data.
It is critically important that you review all employee and payroll details after importing them into Elite Payroll.

The import procedure is essentially a two step procedure:

Step 1 – Export details from MYOB PowerPay Ô

1 Open MYOB PowerPay Ô.

2 From the MYOB File menu, choose Export Data.

3 Change the list at the top to "Payments Full Details".

4 Make sure that the Include Headings box is not ticked.

5 Change the date range so that it includes all of the dates that you have Power data for. For example, to be sure to include all data, you could enter 01/01/1990 to 31/12/2004.

6 Click OK twice, then Select the folder that you want to save the file to. You may want to note where you save this file to.

7 Repeat the above steps four more times, replacing Payments Full Details in step 2 with "Payments Summary", "Employees", "Departments", and finally "Payments Full Details".

This will create a total of five export files, containing all of the data and details that will then be imported into Elite Payroll.

Step 2 – Import the MYOB PowerPayTM files into Elite Payroll

1 From the Activities menu, select Import > MYOB PowerPay Ô. This will open the MYOB Import Wizard.

2 The Wizard will take you through the PowerPay export steps, as explained above, but you may find it easier just to refer to Step 1 above.

3 In the files section, either type in or locate the MYOB export files. To locate the files, click on Browse.

4 Click Import. When the import is completed, click Finish. You should then review your company file and complete the details that are not imported, such as company information, awards, etc.
