Report Parameters


Some examples of how text-based files are used in the Payroll and HR industry include:

  • Submitting data to pension and provident funds
  • EFT files to upload into banking systems for salary payments
  • Submitting employee and tax related data to tax authorities
  • Integrating employee data with other business applications

This new feature makes use of our existing custom report writer tool and has the following benefits for building text files:

  • Allows users to create required header and footer rows
  • Facilitates specific date formatting
  • Allows users to add required padding to fields
  • Users are able to apply conditional logic to fields
  • Allows users to make use of various field delimiters such as comma or pipe
  • Also allows creation of fixed length files

Once a custom extract file has been created, it will be located under the Custom tab on the reports screen and grouped under the relevant sub-section you save it under.
