Export to payroll

Lokom calculates what you owe and hands it over as a file. It does not pay anyone — your payroll provider does that, and Lokom has no integration that pushes to one.

Being precise about this matters: there is no PayFit, Gusto or other payroll connector today. Export a file and give it to whoever runs payroll.

What you can export​

Payout summary (CSV) — one row per participant with their total for the period. This is the file payroll actually wants. Generate it from the payout summary, and Lokom returns a signed download link valid for one hour.

Per-rep statement (PDF) — an individual, readable statement showing a rep's total and the components behind it. Use it for the rep, not for payroll: it is the document you send when someone asks how their number was reached.

Deal review export (CSV) — the deal-level list from review. Not a payroll artifact; useful for finance reconciliation and for your own audit.

Exporting​

Export from a CLOSED period. Exports are durable — created, listed, downloaded and invalidated as records rather than generated fresh each time — so "which file did we send payroll in March" has an answer.

Exports and reopening​

Reopening a closed period invalidates every export produced from it.

This is deliberate. An export asserts what you owe; if the underlying numbers change, that assertion is void and must not stay downloadable. Once you have re-closed the period, generate a fresh export.

If payroll has already paid against an invalidated export, invalidating it does not undo the payment. You are reconciling the difference by hand, so treat reopening a period that payroll has consumed as a serious action.

A workable rhythm​

  1. Close the period.
  2. Generate the payout summary CSV.
  3. Send it to payroll.
  4. Generate per-rep PDFs for anyone who wants the long version.

Closing already emails every payee "Your <period> payout is ready to view" with a link to My Payouts, so reps are told without you doing anything. The PDF is for the ones who want it on paper or in an email thread.

Do not send payroll a summary from an open period. It will change.
