File Formats for Combined Timesheets, Leave and Adjustments in a single file (NZ & UK)

UpSheets allows you to upload multiple different transaction types in a single file, so long as all of the required fields are included.

For more information on individual file formats see File Formats for Timesheets, Leave and Adjustments

NOTE: All columns must be included in the file, even if their values are left blank. This is required to keep formats consistent and allow UpSheets to determine the type of transaction being uploaded automatically.

PLEASE NOTE - IN ALL OF THE EXAMPLES, YOU MAY USE A SINGLE 'FULL_NAME' FIELD INSTEAD OF 'FIRST_NAME/LAST_NAME'
