Hello,

We are currently on Apps 10, and we are currently exporting our payroll file from IFS and sending it to ADP our payroll provider. Our business users are requesting to add a new wage code onto the payroll hours export from IFS, but we are not 100% sure if it can be modified. We reached out to an IFS HR Consultant Partner we work with, and from our understanding it seems that her IFS customers are modifying the file to their needs. We are trying to figure out if this file was a customization or standard IFS File. Has anyone had to modify this file? And if so was it possible?

Hi,

On each Wage Code (wage code basic data) you set which “Transfer Option” the wage code should have: should it be sent to payroll, or not. (If wage code “800 - Overtime” is set to: “Transfer day by day”, every Time Transaction with wage code 800 will, for a certain period, have an equivalent Payroll Transactions created. It is the Payroll Transactions which are sent to Payroll.)

Thus, if you add a new Wage Code, set it to be transferred, time report on it, and then run the “Transfer to Payroll” process, it should be included in your payroll file. That is how it should work. I can however not guarantee it, since payroll transfers prior to IFS Cloud almost always was customized integrations. Therefore, any logic might have been build into your transfer.

However, just test. Add a new wage code, set it to be transferred, time report on it, and then run the “Transfer to Payroll” process. It should be included.

Best Regards,
Magnus
