Import the P2C file / Update from the P2C File

Once you have exported and saved the P2C file from ROS then you can import this file into Thesaurus Payroll Manager to update each employee record with the latest PAYE and USC details for the current tax year.

To access this utility go to ROS > P2C > Update from Revenue Tax Credit/P2C file

Thesaurus Payroll Manager will automatically search for the last saved P2C files

Only those P2C files which have the same employer PAYE reference number as that of the open company will be displayed.  Only those files which are less than 31 days old will be shown in order to avoid importing old P2C files and inadvertently overwriting more recent Revenue instruction.

Each file found will be indicated by the date it was saved allowing easy identification of the current P2C file. Simply double click on the correct file to initiate import.
