DATABASICS Expense Reporting system integrates to ADP Payroll to reimburse employee expense reports.
Pull Data from ADP
DATABASICS organization structure consists of the following:
Operating Unit, a Department, an Employee
Employee also has the following properties:
Employee ID
First Name
Mid Initial
Last Name
Employee Type (Such as Contractor, Full Time, Part Time , etc)
Hire Date
Termination Date
We use ADP API get employee data to map it to DATABASICS employee. All the above fields include the Operating Unit, Department, and Employee data integrated to ADP employee record. The employee load gets scheduled in DATABASICS to refresh Employee data on weekly, daily, hourly and as needed bases. The load will call ADP API to get latest employee data and refresh the data in DATABASICS for new records and existing records.
...
The loads will validate to make sure all the required fields are provided in order for the employee to be active in DATABASICS.
In cases, we might have customers with back end account systems where it will become the master record of the employee, and in that case, we will load ADP File Number and map it to the existing employee data that we are getting from backend account systems, such as Microsoft Dynamics, Intacct, NetSuite, etc.
Expense Type Mapping to EDP Earnings / Deduction Code
Most often Expense Reimbursement is one Earnings Code in ADP. However, ADP Earnings or Deduction Codes can be mapped to either Expense Type Group or Expense Type in DATABASICS.
For example if the Earning Code is “Travel” in ADP then we will configure DATABASICS Expense Type Group as Travel and then we will add all the expense types such as Airfare, Car Rental, Train, Lodging, etc. to the Travel and then when we post payment to ADP payroll we will the total sum of all expenses for Travel Earning code. Restrictions and validations needed can take place to endure the data is 100% validated before it gets posted to ADP. DATABASICS Services Team will work to configure DATABASICS based on the customer requirements.
