How can i import the employee details directly into Easyfile? Love your payroll videos. Well done 👏 Is there a template i can set up?

@TheFunAccountant 8 күн бұрын

Hi @financetips! Thanks for the awesome feedback on our payroll videos - it means a lot! Now, regarding the employee import process in Easyfile: While I understand how it typically works, I haven’t had the chance to test the latest SARS CSV template on the current Easyfile version yet. Here's the general process that should work: Download the CSV template: You’ll need a specific file format to upload employee details. In Easyfile, under the Employee Management section, there’s an option to export a sample template. I’ll make a point to test this soon and possibly create a video guide! Thanks for raising the question

For companies not using Sage Payroll or other software, is there a default excel csv format that an be used to import into easyfile. Specifically the employee and employer details. Its a pain to capture each employee manually each year!

@TheFunAccountant 8 күн бұрын

You’ve hit the nail on the head - manually entering employee details into Easyfile each year really can be a pain! As of now, SARS doesn’t seem to provide a fully "default" Excel CSV template for companies not using payroll software like Sage. However, Easyfile usually allows you to generate a sample CSV by exporting from the Employee Management section. You can then fill in the employee and employer details in that format. That said, I haven’t fully tested how this works with the latest version of Easyfile, especially when it comes to CSV imports without payroll integration. I’ll look into it and provide updates (or even create a guide) as soon as I can! Thanks for the great question!

I'm a sole trader and don't have a company registration number. So I can't move past the Demographics page in order to download the software. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks ELSIE

@TheFunAccountant 8 күн бұрын

Hi Elsie! Thanks for reaching out. I understand how frustrating that can be - especially when you're a sole trader without a company registration number! In many cases it is much better to trade business as a Sole Trader. Unfortunately, Easyfile can be a bit rigid when it comes to that field. Since sole proprietors aren’t required to have a company registration number, one common workaround is to enter your ID number or fill the field with a generic value like "0000000000" or "NA." This often helps you move past the Demographics page. That said, since SARS updates Easyfile frequently, I can't guarantee this method works with the current version. I’ll investigate further and confirm the best solution. In the meantime, give this tip a try and let me know if it works for you!

Hi. Thank you for the video. What could be reason that the accept data tab is greyed out. I can import payroll but can't do the emp501.

@TheFunAccountant 29 күн бұрын

Hi Thank you for watching our video and reaching out with your question. There could be a number of reasons resulting in the issue you experience. I think the most likely reason is The “Accept Data” tab may be inactive if it’s outside the designated submission period for EMP501 declarations. Ensure and confirm that you have selected the reconciliation period at the top. If the error persist. Ensure that your eFiling username and password are correctly entered and that your profile has the necessary authorizations. Then Ensure you’re using the latest version of e@syFile™ Employer. Occasionally, technical issues can cause certain functions to become unresponsive. Restarting the application or reinstalling it after uninstalling any previous versions might resolve the problem. Remember to back up your data before reinstalling. I hope this helps you resolve the issue promptly. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask. All the best Louis Munro

Absolutely! The new version is definitely a step up from the previous one-those automatic updates are a game-changer, saving us all that hassle of manual installs! Only issue is with manual capturing certificates which I found easier on the old version but maybe I must only get use to the new Easyfile. Thanks for watching!

The Fun Accountant's video on the EMP501 Reconciliation using the new EasyFile system is a lifesaver! Navigating the EMP501 recon process can be intimidating, especially with recent updates, but the video made it clear, step-by-step, and easy to follow. The explanations were detailed but straightforward, covering the system’s new features, common errors, and how to avoid them, all with practical examples. I especially appreciated the tips on preparing for a smooth submission, which saved me so much time. Highly recommend for anyone needing to understand or troubleshoot the EMP501 recon-this is a must-watch!

Hi. Thanks for this. Once successfully submitted in EasyFile, do I need to do anything on eFiling? As on eFiling, my EMP501 is not showing as submitted.

@TheFunAccountant 3 ай бұрын

Hi Congratulations on getting that submitted! 🎉 No need to check eFiling, as submissions done through EasyFile won't show up there. You can confirm the submission by going to Utilities > EMP501 Status Dashboard in EasyFile, which will show the submission status.
