Fix to Import Payrolls after 1/1/2010

 

Important:

This fix is ONLY for BBCiv version 9 and BB2000 version 4. 

If you do not import payrolls you do not need this fix.

BBCiv version 10 is being handled by email since some versions do not require a fix. 

BBCiv version 8 and BB2000 version 3 (8 years old) are not updated.

We sincerely regret the inconvenience this error has caused Budget Builder users.

 

Background:  Budget Builder requires a fix to import payroll files with pay period ending dates in 2010 and after.  In other words payroll files for pay period ending 1/2/2010 cannot be imported without this fix. 

 

Action:

1 - Determine which version of Budget Builder you are running.  This fix is only for BBCiv version 9 and BB2000 version 4.

2 - Download this file: BBIMPORT.APP (151KB)

3 - Place BBIMPORT.APP in your Budget Builder directory when Budget Builder is not running. It will replace a file by the same name.

 

BBIMPORT.APP

Size when fixed = 153868

Size before fix = 152400
