Setup Integration
What you should know: If you have multiple ADP company codes, you'll need to use a unique Buddy Punch account for each company code.
What you need from ADP:
Company code
Batch number that corresponds to your Buddy Punch account (optional)
Earnings codes and hour types
File (ID) number for each employee
If you need help finding this information, contact your ADP representative.
1. To set up the ADP integration in Buddy Punch, go to Settings --> Integrations and choose ADP Workforce Now Settings option:
2. Check the box next to Enable integration with ADP Workforce Now:
3. You will then want to enter the following:
Your ADP Company Code.
The ADP Batch Number that corresponds to this Buddy Punch account (optional).
ADP earning codes and hour types.
If you don't set up an earnings code, any time logged under that code in Buddy Punch is exported as regular hours. Click Save when done.
4. You must also add ADP employee ID (file numbers) to each employee profile via Employees --> View --> Edit:
If you don't want to include an employee in the export, do not enter a file (ID) number for that employee.
5. If you plan to use Department Codes and want to import with a Payroll Code into ADP go to Settings --> Department Codes and Edit each Department Code to add in a Payroll Code:
Export ADP Workforce Now File
1. When you're ready to export time, click Reports in the top navigation, followed by Payroll Export.
2. Choose your pay period and then click Run Report. Once hours have populated, click Export --> ADP Workforce Now. The file will automatically begin to download.
Important: Do NOT open the file in Excel and re-save it. Doing so will change the data in the file (ie, 001 becomes 1). Also, do not modify the file name; if you change the name, it will fail to import into ADP Workforce Now.
Please Note: If an employee does not have any hours, they will not show up in the export.
