Integrations – Sage 50 Payroll

This article provides information and instructions on how to enable the Sense 50 payroll Integration

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Introduction:

Our integration connects Sense to Sage 50 payroll, ensuring a real time feed of data to payroll, reducing monthly repetitive payroll tasks.

Prerequisites:

Before we’re able to connect to your Sage database the Hyperext API must be installed in order for this work to be carried out you need to complete the Hyperext checklist that can be found in PDF version here.

Our infrastructure is hosted in Azure and uses a dynamic IP range because of this we suggest that on Step 5 of the Hyperext checklist you also open up your firewall to allow ingress from any IP. Restricting IP access may disrupt connectivity with the integration and could lead to update failures.

How It Works:

As Sage 50 payroll is a local application and Sense is cloud based, we have partnered with a third-party provider called Hyperext who are experts in installing and supporting a local API that allows Sense to communicate with your Sage database.

Sense runs a one-time sync to map any existing employee records in Sage to their Sense record.

This is done by matching a record on both the Start Date and NI number, so both fields must match exactly for an employee in both systems for the sync to be successful.

After this sync has been completed, we will provide you with an audit report of any records that have failed to map correctly to Sage you can then go and make the necessary adjustments.

Any new starters added to Sense going forward can be synced to Sage using the ‘Sage sync’ option from Quick Actions. Core data changes to existing employee records will continue to sync automatically.

The Field we update in Sage:

  • Title

  • Forename

  • Surname

  • Initials

  • Gender

  • Start date

  • Data of Birth

  • Nationality

  • Ni Number

  • AddressLine1

  • AddressLine2

  • AddressLine3

  • AddressLine4

  • AddressLine5

  • Post Code

  • Mobile Telephone Number

  • Email Address

  • Works Number

  • Account Name

  • Account Number

  • Sort code

If one of these fields is left blank in Sense HR the integration will ignore it and won’t write blank data into Sage.

We do not sync payment related data to Sage via our integration however this can be exported from Sense HR using our Payroll Report in the reporter writer.

Our integration does not process leavers automatically as this is better handled directly in Sage itself
