The overall objective of the UniLink Payroll*Plus to Creative Solutions Accounting (CSA) conversion utility is to provide a comprehensive conversion of your UniLink Payroll*Plus data to Payroll CS or the Payroll Compliance module in CSA.

After creating or opening the client, choose Data Conversion from the Utilities menu and then choose UniLink > Payroll*Plus.

Special information

  • Due to differences in processing calculations and in data structures between UniLink Payroll*Plus and CSA, some information cannot be converted. Therefore, you should not expect to exactly duplicate results from UniLink Payroll*Plus using the converted data without adding or modifying the appropriate data in CSA. The specific items that cannot be converted and conversion exceptions are listed in the Conversion Notes and Exceptions section of the conversion guide, which is available in PDF format.
    Data Conversion from UniLink Payroll*Plus to CSA (PDF)
  • Payroll check information is not converted from UniLink Payroll*Plus to CSA. We recommend that you convert your client data at the beginning of a year or at the beginning of a new quarter after running your required quarterly reports in your previous payroll application. Because most SUTA report forms are calculated using check-based information, make sure the entire quarter's payroll has been processed in CSA whenever possible. Also, some manipulation of data in UniLink Payroll*Plus may be required prior to conversion.
