How to Export Your Combo Data to Silae* as a Flat CSV File?

Export your absences and variable payroll items directly from Combo in CSV format to import into Silae*.

Updated today

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.
