You can now create a customised pension provider file within Cintra IQ.
By introducing this functionality we empower our users to create membership and/or contribution pension files. The user can also maintain changes to those files as required.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Create a Pension template.
Navigate to Definitions on the top panel and select Pension Template.
Click ‘New’ and give your template a name.
Within the Template Attributes window add columns you wish for your pension file to contain.
This window also has a few features we want to highlight:
- The search box allows you to quickly find the data that is needed.
- Show Header - some providers require files with no headers. This tick box allows you to include or exclude the header line.
- up and down arrows allow you to decide on the order the columns are displayed.
- Report Details - gives a preview of the pension file as it’s being created.
- each column can be renamed by just clicking on it after it has been selected.
- Add blank column - allows you to insert a column with no value or with a fixed value. To add fixed value just scroll to the right until you see Blank Column Value and enter the desired text.
- You can also apply a specific date format or have the text in upper or lower case.
-
Assign the template to the Pension Provider.
Under Payroll / Payroll Setup / Third Party Association select the relevant Pension Scheme Provider and navigate to the Other Settings tab.
From a drop-down for Pension Template File Format (Enrolment) and Pension Template File Format (Contributions), you can select your template.
Next time when you produce a pension provider file How do I generate pension provider membership/contributions files? Cintra IQ will generate it using your template.
