We are testing out 9.0.1 and when I review the ACH file the trace field is different then 9.0.0. The new version has the 8 digit ODFI number starting on position 81 not 80 so the last digit is being cut off by the seq. I've run the pr160 ODFI & SDFI flags in all three modes and the only difference is a blank or 0 at position 80 for the trace . Is anyone else having this problem

Does anyone have an upload template for the PA52 Screen  We are trying to upload just email addresses.  When we run the upload utility, it appears that they are created successfuly but when I run the PA100 report, they don't show up.  All I can think is there is one of those 'hidden' upload fields.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have hundreds of EMSS users without issues, but I have 1 user who cannot see any label that is generated by the getSEAPhrase function.  His wife also works for uas & has the same issue when she uses this PC. I'm thinking there is something blocking the access to the xml file, or determining their language perference, etc. Any thoughts on where to start LSA and persistdata look like all the other users. I think they are on IE7, but waiting for confirm on that. Anythoughts would b...

We have upgraded our test system to the 9.0.1.8 apps and now need to remap the PMTOUT file for Formscape to print payroll checks/receipts.  Has anyone else gone through this with Formscape  We are considering creating an xml file and using it but need to find the xml schema (xsd or dtd file).  No one here has had any formal training with Formscape so we are struggling with finding the files that are required.  So far Lawson support has been no help.  Any help or advise will be greatly appre...

Is there anyway in Lawson to subdivide a position I know we can split PR distribution by position but what I am after is this.  We have a position that is 1 FTE but the employee reports to two different locations. Is there anything in lawson that will allow us to define a position that way or is the only way to define two different positions.  We would like to say position 3800 is 1 total FTE but .5 FTE in location 380 and .5FTE in location 430. Thanks in advance bob

Hi Everyone, I was hoping to get some information/guidance with setting up an FMLA plan in Absence Management.  I have read Phil Simon's article (https://www.lawsonguru.com/Articles/...ment.aspx.) which was a good starting point, but our plan is set up on a rolling 12 month period (after meeting eligibility requirements) and it's not immediately clear to me how to go about setting this up. I'm relatively new to Absence Management and any insight that anyone could provide would be greatl...

We currently use Lawson Payroll & Benefits and process in-house and when we began setting up our W2's to report the Healthcare we set up a benefits deduction group & add all Health plan for EE & ER and this would give us the amount and it's working.  However recently it's come to my attention that it's not the cost it's the value that must be on the W2.  The value never changes until termination even when an Associate is on LOA and my miss premiums (end of the year).  How do you find/pull the va...

Hello All, I am writing a research paper on Lawson and have done an extensive amount of research but cannot find a clear-cut answer to these questions. I'm hoping one of you guys can help out.

We are in the process of working on a conversion of additional employees (from one of our affliates) that will convert to Lawson mid year 2013.  This would include employees who are enrolled in spending accounts (RS plan type).  We are trying to figure out how to convert these records to bring in the employee's deductions that were already taken in their other payroll systems and subtract that from their annual election in order to determine how to calculate the remaining deductions based on the...

Employee did not enter all their time for prior pay cycle 5/16 so his accruals need to be adjusted.

Has anyone had success setting up a 403(b) where the company is matching up to a certain amount  We are changing our match percentage from one flat percentage (up to 4 of the EE contrib) to a percentage match on the first 3 and a different percentage match on the next 7.  After 10, the match is supposed to stop.  I'm on BN19.4 and it asks for a beginning percent, but not an end percent, so it appears that everything past 10 will continue to get the match.  Please tell me someone has set th...

We need to set up a new benefit plan.  The plan premiums are based on the coverage amount selected and an age rate table.  For example, an employee age 57, selects $40,000 of coverage.  Base on the rate table, the cost per $1000 for someone who is 57 would be $4.01 so his monthly premium would be $40,000/$1000 * $4.01 = $160.40.  I have all of this working.  However, there is a wellness benefit tied to this plan which costs an additional $1.60 a month.  This is a flat amount that needs to be add...

Hi Everyone, We are receiving the following error with an employee that is currently in flex spending (RS) for $5000 for 2012 and goes through Web Enrollment Open Enrollment where the new maximum is $2500 for 2013: 'You cannot enroll in this benefit at this time. (Contribution amount is > than annual maximum amount,_f0) '  It then lists the employee as being 'ineligible' for the Flex Spending Benefit. Any employee that had a 2012 election for $2500 or less is not affected. Does anyo...

We are having an issue with our PTO & LTS plans retro accuraling when an employee come back from an unpaid LOA or is rehired. The accruals are setup on the cycle based accrual table LP04.2 and are not hours based.

How can you stop the accruals from pulling in the amounts for the ineligible time

Hi Everyone, Can someone please provide details on how to set up a Hyatt Legal Plan for a flat rate per month on BN15 Should it be under RS with category 12  If so, is it possible to have a flat rate per pay period instead of a maximum and minimum election required for the RS plans Thanks!

I am adding three new process levels. I am at the point where I am loading the GL accounts to the deductions on PR05.6 and PR05.7 because they have different accrual and expense accounts than the company. Can anyone tell me if there are hidden keys that I am missing or is it something else

I found a few other posts regarding having W2's available online thru EMSS with Lawson.  It appears to me as of last year this was still something Lawson did not have available but others had some work arounds.  Has anyone heard of anything new on this topic  Tried to search on Infor search today but guess I have not figured the 'new' support site out quite yet, I get no results.  Thanks for posting any information you may have.
