Where to store the documents.
The location of the Payroll Filing in-tray can be set in the ‘Project Setup’ – please click here for more information.
In the examples below you will find the path to the folders for a project in the UK called “Demo2”, and for AUS/NZ called “GFS” – the same sort of folder structure will be present for your project.
You simply launch the SCANS folder on the Moneypenny desktop, then navigate to your project folder then open the folder that is required in which to place your payroll documents.
PLEASE NOTE: You should ensure documents are no larger than 400MB. You can use Adobe to compress your PDF. There are a number of free PDF compression tools such as PDF24.org which will allow you to upload a batch of files and compress to smaller file sizes.

How to file documents
To file a large number of attachments to your payroll transaction so you can then view the documents later in the Cost Manager, for example for UK clients – select the ‘Wage Transaction Filing’ option from the ‘Payroll’ menu, for AUS and NZ clients – select the ‘Wage Transaction Filing’ option from the ‘All Employees’ menu
If you have any files in your Payroll Filing in-tray, the following form will be displayed. On the left hand side, you will see the first PDF in your in-tray. On the right hand side you will see a listing of all payroll entries in mydaEs, showing the Employee Code, first and last name, transaction numbers, the weekending date, department and total.
You can re-size this screen to allow for more room for the PDF or more room for your data entry, by just placing your mouse between the two sides of the screen as shown below, until your cursor changes to 2 arrows. Then just click and drag it to the left or right. Your change will be remembered the next time you open this screen.
You can also hover your mouse over the bottom of the PDF (depending on which version of Adobe you have installed on your machine) to see the Adobe toolbars that will allow you to zoom in/out and change pages etc.
Just before the PDF is displayed, mydaEs processes it to determine if the document needs to be split. If you have batch scanned multiple documents together and separated them with blank pages, mydaEs will strip out the blank pages and present you with one document at a time, which may have multiple pages (depending on where you inserted the blank pages). If mydaEs does not locate any blank pages, you will be asked whether you want to split the document into single pages or not. You will then be only shown the first page on the left hand side of the screen.
NB: If the invoice or time sheet is more than one page long for the worker then do not split. If you accidently click yes, you can delete the file in the scan folder and simply bring a fresh copy from your machine to the scans folder on the server.
The column headings are also sort buttons, which will sort the values below by that order. Above the column headings are white fields where you can enter in text and the entries below will be reduced to only show those that matched what you typed. In the example below transaction number 75 has been added to only display the lines connected to transaction 75. You can also sort on the other columns to help narrow your list.
Locate the transaction that matches the PDF onscreen, highlight it and then press the ‘File’ button at the bottom of the screen. Should you not wish to process the file presented to you first, just press the ‘Skip PDF’ button to push it to the bottom of the list.
You can at any time export all the attachment through many options including when running GL reports.
This is particularly handy if you should need to produce any backup paperwork for insurance claims, using a combination of GL Codes, Free Fields, and other filters you can export documents stored.
