## This article provides a guide on how to publish timesheets from Timecloud to iPayroll, including troubleshooting steps for resolving any publishing errors that may occur

- Once complete, the data will publish to iPayroll as **DRAFT Timesheets**

Timecloud will never override any other state of a Timesheet except for a DRAFT

### **Troubleshooting Publishing Errors**

Having trouble publishing your timesheets? Don't worry! Here's a quick guide to help you resolve common issues:

 

**Attendance Flags**

Attendance flags indicate potential issues with employee time entries, generally caused by a missing check-in pair. These flags prevent successful publishing to iPayroll.

- **How to fix:** Review and resolve all attendance flags before attempting to publish.

**Employee Sync**

- **What it means:** Employees with timesheets must be synced between Timecloud and iPayroll. A red syncing icon next to an employee's name means they haven't been synced.
- **How to fix:** Ensure all employees are synced from Timecloud to iPayroll.

**Pay Period Mismatch**

The pay period selected in Timecloud must perfectly match the pay period in iPayroll.

- **How to fix:** Double-check that you've chosen the correct pay period in both systems.

**Existing Draft Timesheets**

You cannot publish over an existing draft timesheet in iPayroll.

- **How to fix:** Go to iPayroll and delete any existing draft timesheets before trying to publish again.
