Process payroll faster with the Raken + ComputerEase integration. Save time and eliminate errors caused by manual data entry by simply exporting time card data from Raken into a pre-formatted CSV file and uploading it into your ComputerEase account.
Setup:
Check to make sure that your Payroll data in Raken matches ComputerEase. This step is critical for successful Time Card import in ComputerEase. For faster verification, you can leverage the Employee Master report and Job Cost Category Totals reports in ComputerEase QTools.
The most important fields to check are:
Once the payroll data items are configured in Raken, start entering Time Cards as normal.
Create a new import layout in ComputerEase called "Raken".
To do so, click on "Payroll System" > "Enter Labor Distribution by Job" > "OK" > "Cancel" > "File" > Import from a File" > Question mark button in the "Use Layout" field > "New".
In the Labor Distribution Import Layout window, enter "Raken" in the Description field and then check the "Comma Delimited" option as well as the box to skip the first row.
Next, add a Value to each Field in ascending order, e.g., "emp - col #1", "type - col#2", etc.
Lastly, click "Save" and then close out of all other windows
