Payflow services

Each Payflow service comprises the set of download or upload file configuration details needed to identify the data to be transferred to or from an external system, along with any related batch job information such as mode, periodicity, start and end dates. The external system can be a Payroll agency, a benefit supplier, or another host of HCM or HRIS information.

A Payflow service provides a definition of the interface between Sage People and the external service, including:

  • Configuring the download from Sage People to the external system.

  • Specifying download file content and format.

  • Mapping fields between download files and files of the target system.

  • Configuring the upload from the external system to Sage People.

  • Mapping fields between the source system and Sage People.

Payflow services can contain either upload file configuration or download file configuration, not both. To configure both upload and download settings for an external service, create two Payflow services, one containing upload details and one containing download details.

You can also set up a dedicated Payflow service to support payslips, enabling you to deliver payslips as PDF files along with supporting information through WX.

Note

Payflow Service user access to Team Member data is through HCM HR Department - if a user does not have access to an HR Department they cannot access the data for Team Members assigned to that HR Department.

Payflow enables you to restrict a Payflow Service user's access to data for Team Members assigned to HR Departments they can access.When setting up a new Payflow Service or editing an existing one, use the Enforce User Record Access checkbox. When selected, Payflow Services run by users without Administrator level access can process data from Team Members assigned to HR Departments they can access – data for all other Team Members cannot be accessed and is omitted.

Before enabling the setting for an existing Payflow Service you must check users running the Service have access to all HR Departments holding the Team Members you expect to be processed by the Service.
