Importing the Export File in ADP Workforce Now

Before starting, make sure in your Report -> Export Settings that:

• Select "Yes" to enable ADP exporting
• The 3 digit ADP Company Code is entered
• Enter any relevant "Earnings Codes" and "Hours Type"
• The employees' ADP File ID are entered and matched for the employees that you want to include in the export file

Downloading the Export File

First, download the export file for the relevant payroll period in Breeze Clock. 

On the edit icon each report, the ADP export file would be enabled, and you can just download the report's data in the form of an import file.

Note: Do not rename the export file after it as been downloaded, as ADP needs it to be in its downloaded file name:  

< PR---EPI.csv > (the - is changed to match your company code)

If there are multiple downloaded files, i.e. < PR---EPI (2).csv >, just delete the duplicates and use the re-download the file to get the original file name.
