On the Home screen, click "Administration" select "Setup" and click "Acct Link" tab. Select the "Accounting Link" tab and choose one of the Accounting Software programs. If you do not use any of these you will still need to select one to be able to set an Export Path. If you are not linking to an Accounting program, ignore the other fields.

 

For MYOB or PowerPay - Enter the "Export Path". Export Path is the location where the Payroll export files are to be saved (we recommend using the same location as your Latidata.mdb).

For QuickBooks - The link to QuickBooks is a direct one, where Latitude imports Timesheets directly into QuickBooks. To do this, Latitude and QuickBooks must be accessible on the same workstation or terminal for users who want to use the Accounting Link.
