Description

The downloaded file will be named : *.csv

Export in X-ledger format

You initiate the X-ledger time off export through Manage time → Export time off.

Select the absences you wish to export with the selection options and checkboxes. You can read more about the Export time off view here

After selecting Export, choose Xledger as the file format for download.

The export will be startad and after it´s finished it will download a file in Xledger format.

Configuration

In order for the export to work properly there are a few things that needs to be configured.

  • All used leaves must have a matching Leave type code in accordance to the X-ledger payroll system, otherwise they cannot be matched when imported into .

    • Check your payroll configuration for what codes apply to what absence.

  • Employment number must match the employees employment number in X-ledger in order to be able to import it correctly.

Exported content

The file will contain

  • Employee number

  • Employee title at the start of the employment

  • Leave type code from the absence

  • Note (optional) from the absence

  • Absence name (label of the absence)

  • Time off data for the employees within the selected period

  • Absences sent as they have been entered into Alexis.

  • Leave percentage calculated as number of absence days divided by the number of workdays within the exported period.

Example

An absence is added with the following data:

  • Leave type Vacation with leave type code ABC

  • Full day leaves for 2024-02-19 -- 2024-02-25 (Monday-Sunday)

  • Comment on leave = "Winter break", employee number = 145

  • Employee has a defined work week as Monday-Friday (08:00-12:00,13:00-17:00) and the title Engineer

    This would be represented as below in the export file

Employee,Position,Absence Code,Absence Cause,Text,Date From,Time From,Date To,Time To,Leave Pct
145,Engineer,ABC,Winter break,Vacation,2024-02-19,00:00:00,2024-02-25,00:00:00,23.81
