Moving from LocumDeck (NASGP)

LocumDeck gives two plain files: your earnings and your expenses. They include every session in your calendar, even ones you haven't invoiced yet, so this one works on the phone too.

In LocumDeck

  1. Go to Bookkeeper, then Earnings, and press Export by date worked. Use this one, not by date paid: it has every session, including ones not invoiced yet, and which were pensioned.
  2. Set the dates to this tax year (6 April to 5 April) and press Export.
  3. Go to Bookkeeper, then Expenses, and press Export expenses with the same dates.

On the website

  1. Sign in and open Import, then choose LocumDeck (NASGP).
  2. Press Choose both files and pick them together (hold Ctrl, or Cmd on a Mac, to pick the second).

On the phone

  1. In the setup wizard, on Restore, sync and backup, choose LocumDeck (NASGP). Later on, it's More > Import from other services.
  2. Import the earnings file as sessions, then the expenses file as expenses.

LocumDeck writes one kind of expense, "Stationery, printer ink etc", in a way that splits its row. If one comes up as a problem, untick it and add it by hand.

Checking it and finishing off

  • Nothing is added until you press Add … to your records at the bottom of each list, so check the dates, practices and fees first. Untick anything you don't want.
  • Sessions that look like ones already in GP Locum come up unticked, so importing the same file twice doesn't double anything.
  • Practices are made for you as they come in. Add each one's address and its pension codes (ODS and EA) under Your details > Practices before you raise a Form A.
  • Your mileage doesn't need importing. GP Locum works it out from your sessions once each practice has its address.

If you started on the phone, sign in to the same account on the website first and everything you import comes to the phone by itself. See Using the phone app and the website together.
