Payroll

Can I migrate a customer with multiple companies?

  1. Only pay rates used in a standard pay are migrated. In a future version, you'll be able to migrate more pay rates.

  2. For New Zealand sites, 52 weeks of payroll history is included in the dynamic data.

What's the difference between static data and dynamic data?

Static data are things like reference data, pay items, etc. that don't change after a pay run. Dynamic data are things like entitlement adjustments, pay history, etc. that do change after a pay run.

When migrating, you can start by migrating static data. Then, when you're ready to make the migrated site live, you can migrate dynamic data. This makes it easier to test the migration data.

Can I migrate data into MYOB Acumatica — Workforce Management?

Not at the moment. Currently, all payroll data is migrated into a single MYOB Acumatica — Payroll database.

Can I migrate companies with a multiple price structure?
