Best Practices

Save defaults after your first stable run to speed up subsequent exports.
Use unique Batch IDs to keep export files traceable and avoid filename collisions.
Verify Costpoint Company and ADP File Name before processing in Multicompany or ADP-enabled setups.
Treat in-process exports cautiously. Approved timesheets are the safer source for payroll runs.
