SMSF fields - Xero Integration Changes [Import & Export]

Background (FT-3599)

To accomodate new SMSF fields, Xero integration has to be modified in both import and export jobs.

Update

Export & Import of SMSF data to Xero for an employee will be similar to how it behaves with regulated superfund type. Based on authoritative system chosen by client in enableHR for Xero Integration settings, SMSF details will be either exported or Imported. Account admins will be able to edit/delete the imported SMSF details from Xero.

Export to Xero:

Superfund type ‘SMSF’ details maintained for an employee record is considered in Xero export process. The Xero export job will either add or update these details in Xero. SMSF details are not allowed to delete if the superannuation has already been paid to SMSF fund.

Import from Xero:

Imported superfund details can now be clearly identified through Fund Type field to know whether its Regulated/SMSF. When Xero is sending us a new employee with SMSF, we accept this for employee record and display it in the enableHR fields under superfund type ‘SMSF’. When there are any update/delete made to SMSF funds in Xero, the import job will make the same changes in enableHR.

Note Details CSV report - Now has more details about self service acknowledgements

Background (FT-3741)

We have a report that pulls the information from record notes and displays it in a CSV format - the Note Details CSV report.

Update

There were requests from our users to improve the way we capture acknowledgement tasks that the employee has responded to so that it is easier to see what document or checklist step the employee responded to.

One of the main use cases is reporting on which employees have electronically acknowledge which checklist tasks (acknowledging FWIS, employee handbook, etc) or self service messages (updates from HR, changes in policies, etc).

The report now has 3 new columns:

• Checklist (will show the checklist name if the task was sent via a checklist, otherwise this will be blank)

• Task (will show the checklist task/step name if this was sent via a checklist, otherwise this will be blank)

• Document File Name/s (if there document/s were included in the acknowledgement task, they will display here, otherwise this will be blank)

Below is an example (Yellow displays the new columns in this report, Green provides examples of how these fields can display)
