Import Employees

You can import new employees into Avanti or update information for existing employees in the Employee Profile using Import Employees.

If Import Employees isn’t on your System Menu yet, go to How to Add New Items to Your Avanti Menus for more information.

Import File Overview

  • Columns can be in any order in the import file; each column should have a header row to help identify the column’s information. For more information on how information flows into Avanti, go to the Column Mapping section below.

  • The import file can include columns that won’t import into Avanti.

  • The file can be an excel file or comma delimited (.xls, .xlsx, or .csv).

  • A sample import file can be found as a link at the bottom of this article.

  • When you’re creating new employees, the following are required.

    • Employee Number

    • Surname

    • Given Name

    • City

    • Province

    • Birth Date

    • Initial Hire Date

      Additional columns may be required if an Employee Default Group isn’t selected or if required information isn’t included in the Employee Defaults Group.

  • When you’re updating an existing employee, the only required field is the employee number.

  • For more information on creating the import file, go to the Formatting the Import File section below.

How to Import Employees

Once the file is prepared, you’re ready to start the import.

Step 1: Open Import Employees in the Avanti Desktop Application.
By default, this can be found in Canadian Payroll >> Employee Profile.

Additional Information
Can't find Import Employees in your Avanti Desktop? Go to How to Add New Items to Your Avanti Menus for more information.

Step 2: Select beside Import File, and locate the file.

Additional Information
If an Error found: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process message displays, you still have the file open on your computer. Close the file, then select Refresh.

Step 3: Indicate which sheet of the excel file contains employee information in Sheet.

Additional Information
This is only required if you’re importing an Excel file. You can only import one excel sheet at a time.

Step 4: Select the format of any Date in the file:

  • MDY - Select if the dates in the file are Month, Day, then Year.

  • YMD - Select if the dates in the file are Year, Month, then Day.

  • DMY - Select if the dates in the file are Day, Month, then Year.

Additional Information
This is only required if you’re importing a .csv file. For more information on the date formatting, go to the Formatting the Import File section below.

Step 5: Select Allow Duplicate SIN to import employees with a SIN that already exists in Avanti.

Step 6: If you’re importing updates to existing employees, ensure Update Existing Employees is selected. If you’re only importing new employees, it’s best if Update Existing Employees is deselected.

Additional Information
Deselecting Update Existing Employees helps ensure you don’t accidentally overwrite an existing employee when the import file only contains employees who aren’t currently in Avanti.

Step 7: In Avanti Field, select which employee information the column should update.

  • If the column shouldn’t import into Avanti, select Not Used.

Step 8: Repeat Step 7 for each Import Column that doesn’t have an Avanti Field selected.

Additional Information
Also, you should double-check any field automatically mapped to ensure accuracy.

Step 9: Select Import once you’re ready to import the file.

Step 10: If the file is error-free, select Yes to import the file.

  • If there are errors, you’ll need to adjust the file before you can import. If you can’t resolve the error, we’re here to help. Contact Client Care, for additional assistance.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully imported the file.

Column Mapping

To support import files from any source, you’ll need to map each column to the correct Avanti field. This means you won’t have to rearrange the columns in the import file.

You’ll only need to map the columns if:

  • It’s the first time you’re importing employees into Avanti

  • You’ve added new columns to the import file

Once you select the import file in Import Employees, the file’s column headers populate the Import Column. The corresponding Avanti Field automatically populates if:

  • You mapped the column during a previous import.

  • The column header matches one of the Possible Headers found in the Formatting the Import File section below.

For example, if column header EE Number hasn’t been mapped and doesn’t match a Possible Header, the Avanti Field defaults to Blank. You’ll need to update the Avanti Field, so Avanti knows this column is the Employee Number.

If a column from the file shouldn’t import into Avanti, select Not Used for the Avanti Field. Only mapped fields import into Avanti.
