Taavi in Begin Taavi in Begin Export a CSV for your payroll team to import into Taavi. Generating the file in Begin does not upload it to Taavi.

Prepare the export

1

Enable Taavi

Open Settings → Integrations → Taavi and turn on the header switch. This file export needs no API credentials.
2

Check employee codes

Give each person the Payroll export code Taavi uses, on their profile. A person without an export code is left out of the file.
3

Map the hours

Open Field mappings. Edit the values you need, set their Export code, and turn on Include in export. New configurable mappings start off.
4

Include absences if needed

Enable Absences in Setup and map the time-off policies to the codes Taavi expects.
Prepare a CSV of hours and absences for import into Taavi. Prepare a CSV of hours and absences for import into Taavi.

Choose what payroll receives

Leave Include unconfirmed hours off to use approved hours only. Rejected and cancelled hours are always excluded, even when this setting is on. Add only the hour categories your Taavi import is configured to accept. A mapping can apply a Multiplier, Rounding method, Rounding precision, or Skip zero values. Use these only when your payroll import requires that transformation; they change the values exported.

Download and import

Open Export, choose the month and any people, location or department filters, then run the export. When the run finishes, download its file from the history and import it into Taavi. Check errors and skipped records before treating the file as a complete month. If no field mappings are enabled, fix the mappings before exporting again. Taavi objects is a separate catalogue entry. It cannot run yet, so use the working Taavi integration described here.
