Import timesheets by department and cost centre

You can import payment hours or values into employee timesheets and allocate them to departments and cost centres. To do this, you enable the multi-timesheet option and import a CSV file.

Enable the multi-timesheet option

You need to enable this option before importing data.

1. Open Sage 50 Payroll Ireland and sign in to the payroll.
2. Go to Help, then select System Information.
3. Select Data Directory, then open the payroll folder.
4. Right-click PAYROLL.INI, then select Open with Notepad.
5. In the [Timesheet] section, enter:
   • Sequence=3
   • AllMulti=1
   • Type=Multi
6. Select File, then Save.
7. Select File, then Exit.

Repeat these steps for each payroll where you want to use a multi-timesheet import.
