Import payroll file into e@syFile
Description
Importing a payroll file into e@syFile lets employers check payroll data before submitting it to SARS. The system checks the file for errors and warnings during import. Fix all the errors in Sage 300 People; they'll stop the import before re‑exporting the file. Warnings don't stop submission, but ignoring them leads to penalties.
Cause
Resolution
  1. In e@syFile, select Import/Export payroll file.
  2. Select Import payroll file.
  3. Select OK.
  4. Browse to the saved test IRP5 file.
  5. Select Open.
  6. Wait for e@syFile to validate the file.
  7. Review the validation message displayed on the screen.
    • A successful validation confirms that the file passed all checks
    • A successful validation with warnings allows submission but results in SARS penalties

     

  8. When prompted to confirm the import, select Yes.
  9. When the success message displays, select OK.

Review Import errors and warnings

  1. Select Utilities.
  2. Select the Import payroll file log.

TIP:

• Correct failed errors in Sage 300 People
• Export a new test run file and import it again into e@syFile
