Before extracting payroll data

Types of payroll migration data

For every payroll migration, you need to use Adapt Uploader to extract two types of data:

Static data – things like reference data, pay items, etc. that don't change after a pay run.
Dynamic data – things like entitlement adjustments, pay history, etc. that do change after a pay run.

After extracting data, you can use Adapt Desktop to edit the data and upload it to your customer's MYOB Advanced site.

List of dynamic data

The table below lists dynamic data for Australia and New Zealand.

Pay History Details	N/A
Pay History	N/A

Pay History for terminated employees	Coming soon	N/A

Order of data extraction

Because your customer doesn't stop running their business while you're working on their migration, their dynamic data will frequently change. That's why we recommend extracting static data before dynamic data.

Although you can extract both data types as many times as you need, if you need to re-extract both static and dynamic data, always start with static data.

Here's an overview of the extraction, editing and uploading process the first time you go through it. Re-extracting updated data from the source product simpler will be simpler, because you won't need to configure pay history after the first time.

Start a new migration by extracting static data.
Edit and upload static data.
When the migrated site is ready to go live, as a one-off setup task, configure pay history settings in Adapt Desktop.
If there's new static data in the source product, re-extract it.
Extract dynamic data.
Edit and upload dynamic data, including pay history. If you re-extracted static data, edit and upload that as well.
