Step 1: Prepare your data in Combo
Make sure that all your employees have an employee ID filled in their profile. Without it, their information cannot be matched in Silae*.
Ensure that your bonuses, advances, absences, and reimbursements have been correctly entered in Combo.
If needed, create your bonuses and miscellaneous allowances in Settings > Establishments & Schedules > Bonuses and Miscellaneous Allowances.
💡
The transport allowance and the annual exceptional bonus are usually available directly in the employee’s profile in Silae*.
If transport expense reimbursement is not automatically managed in Silae*, remember to add the transport allowance in the employee’s profile: its assignment depends on the supporting document provided by the employee.
Step 2: Configure your payroll categories
Go to Settings > Integration > Silae*.
Click Connect, then Configure.
Associate your Combo categories with Silae* codes (hours, absences, variable items).
Uncheck unused categories to simplify the export.
Save.
💡
Always verify that Combo codes = Silae* codes. If they differ, the import will fail. For example:
Hours: HS-“Silae* code” (e.g., HS-HN for normal hours)
Absences: AB-“Silae* code” (e.g., AB-200 for maternity leave)
Variable payroll items: EV-“name of the Silae* table column” (e.g. EV-RepasServis for meal-in-kind benefits)
The input/output value is usually managed by Silae*: you may uncheck it in Combo.
Step 3: Export your flat-file
Go to Reports > Payroll.
Create or open your payroll period.
Verify that all your data are up to date (bonuses, advances, absences, reimbursements).
Click Other exports > Silae*.
Download the .csv file and import it directly into Silae*.
💡 The last file imported into Silae* for the same period and the same employees will overwrite previous ones.
