Exporting Payroll File only

Does anyone know if I can export my payroll file only to my accountant. They do my T4s and want to start them soon but I need to finish my bank recs. I have three months to do.

  • Since it looks like you are using Sage 50 Canada, I am going to move this post to that Support Group so that other users of this software will see it and can offer you their thoughts and insight.

    Thanks,

  • Susan:

    Why not send your accountant your Sage 50 backup copy? It would be quite a bit of work to export your payroll file.

    No.  Sage 50 data isn't stored as a collection of individual data files for each module, it's stored as a sort of monolithic block that it isn't made to be split apart by module. 

    For each company 'file' there is a small file ending with .SAI, and a matching folder that ends with .SAJ.  The .SAJ folder has a large number of files in it, but the data is basically stored in only one of those files 'ibdata1'.  The rest of the files are used to describe the data and help repair / recover it if something goes wrong.
