Import Web Services

I haven't tested this yet, but do you think it will support Import Pay Input for example? If so then no need for anything additional, If not might be a neat addition being able to run the import web services.

Good question. I'm trying to remember my experience with importing time punches. The API call worked when submitting the data, but you have to poll to learn the results. So, as far as that goes, this should work for the import call, but it will only report that the import was successfully called. It won't provide feedback on the results of the individual transactions.

I thought of one other gotcha that might cause an issue with an import API call. There is a built-in splitter that splits the requests based on an assumed set of levels in the data (*/*/*). That might not be the right assumption for batching the requests for the import API. I haven't tested it though.
