How do I Convert or Import from Harvester Offline?

Use you existing harvester payroll system and on the main page on the right hand side is a button that says Export-to-harvester-online. Click on this and then on the export button (on the right hand side), it will export your file to a csv file called exportharvestertemplate.csv This file will be saved in your My Documents folder on your computer. On the online system: Log in and go to the settings page. Go to the Import from Excel link on the left hand side of the settings page. You will be taken to the "Choose your Template" page. Click the top image (of the two options) to Proceed with Harvester Export File (v 17.305 or later) Then click on "Go-to-Step 1" at the bottom of the Choose-your-Template page. Then Click on "Step 1" at the top to add the upload file. Once you have added the file you can then proceed to "Step 2". If you get a message that there is a wrong amount of columns then Harvester thinks you are trying to import from your own list of employees in excel and not the harvester offline upload file. In which case check your "Import Template Choice" is correct. Click on Step 3 and the employees will be imported and updated and you will be ready for entry. Remember that any of your unique company extra additions and deductions will still need to be manually added after your conversion is done. Also remember to enter your NAPSA number and NHIS employer number in Company settings. Lastly you need to use the settings page to customize your company specific additions and deductions. These settings are not imported from the offline system.
