Loading Batch Positive Input
You can use batch positive input to reduce time-consuming data entry in Global Payroll for Brazil. For example, you could enter and trigger bonuses for all of your employees using batch positive input, or you could trigger mass deductions. For example, suppose that an employer has an agreement with a cell phone company to provide half the employee population with a 50 percent discount rate on calls. Instead of entering each of the monthly cell phone invoices (deductions) for each employee, the cell phone company could generate a flat file with a layout that loads this invoice information using a batch process.
This topic describes how to load the batch positive input.
