Import File to FCA™
Note: Before importing payroll checks, Payroll Company Defaults and all employees must be set up. If the client has multiple state payroll, all withholding will import to only one state as there is only one state withholding item in Peachtree. Checks with state withholding amounts for states other than the one selected in the mapping process must be edited after the import.
Verify the date range in the Import transactions from: and through: fields.
Map each Peachtree Payroll Item to the appropriate FCA in the Map To field in the top grid.
Map the client's accounts using the account map grid on the left side of the window, by selecting the FCA Write Up account in the Map To column for each of the client's Peachtree accounts. Click the Fill Map button at the upper right of the window to have the system look for and map all accounts where the account Lookup in FCA matches the account Lookup used in the file being imported.
Click OK to import the data.
Note: Be aware of the Save icon in the toolbar. FCA will save and remember the mapping for any account which has been previously imported. If it is necessary to cancel an import after some accounts have been mapped, click the Save icon to save the mapping that has been completed.
Cancel—Click the Cancel button to close the screen without importing.
Print—Click the Print button to print the saved mapping for the displayed import.
Fill Map—The program will look for accounts with the same Lookup as the account number in the file being imported and populate the Map To field with any matches.
Export Map—Click the Export Map button to export memorized mappings to a .txt or .csv file.

Batch—Each import will be assigned a unique Batchname that follows a similar format. Batch PTP 2003 9-1 indicates that the import is the first Peachtree or Sage 50 Payroll import done in period 9 of 2003. If a file is imported in the same period using this import, the batch name would be PTP 2003 9-2.
