During our implementation, we are needing to copy all BN setup info from one dataset to another. In lieu of typing all of this in manually it would be easier to copy the tables from the one dataset to the other using the importdb commands. We only want to copy over the stuff that is benefits related. My concern is that I'm sure of ALL of the tables involved in this - sometimes putting something on BNxx will create an entry in a NON BN table. I reviewed the technical text guide whic...

Every pay we manually run the cnvexp command in LID to format the ACH file to 94 characters. Has anyone been able to hardcode this command into Lawson

We had an employee's federal taxes stop (FIT, SS, Medicare) when they made a change to their address via ESS. They corrected their address with an effective date of 1984. Our FED taxes have an effective date of 01011998. I am thinking that is why they stopped and if I change those to be effective with a much earlier date, this won't occur again. Does anyone have anthing to add to this Agree Disagree I need to change something else Thanks for your help.

We want to validate the numbers in PA390. Is there a report in Lawson that will show us a list of all employees that are currently under Category 20 for instance We have already ran the report for this year and when the report says there are 394 white, category 20 employees we want to know the names of these 394 employees. This is just an example. Thanks so much for your help. I believe in Portal last year I stumbled across a way to use Drill around and then print the employees, but of course...

Hello All, I have some questions regarding the use of PR23.1. I have read the Payroll User Guide and done some research about its uses, but still would appreciate clarity... When utilized, do taxes get distributed to multiple entities or is the sole function to distribute wages to multiple GL accounts Also, do the wages get broken out to the additional entities or are they are reported under the main entity. Thanks much for any insight. Regards, Jeff

Can anyone tell me what makes the connection Thanks Shane

We are trying to find out how people display items like ‘Imputed Income’ on their Pay Check/Stub. Ours is set up as an earning, but our payroll department would like to display in an ‘Other’ category. We’re trying to minimize the number of customizations. Imputed Income is set up as a pay code calculation type 'F-Noncash Income', so from a system standpoint, we would expect it to display in the wages area. However, our current pay check stubs generated from Ceridian display it in a 'Speci...

Connecticut has issued new withholding calculations effective 8/1/2011. Part of this change includes calculation withholding for an employee (new or transfers) that begin CT withholding to be calculated differently than an employee that has had CT set up prior to 8/1/2011,. We are a Lawson and BSI customer. BSI has indicated that Formula 4 will need to be used for employees that begin CT withholding after 8/1/2011. Since PR05 does not default the BSI Formula to PR14, it seems a manual proc...

We are upgrading from Lawson 9.0 MSP6 to 9.0.1.7. We use Kronos to calculate Accrual balances and load the balances into the Lawson TA module. I would like to network with anyone using Kronos to calculate accruals. I would like to know if you still use Lawson TA on Apps 901 or if you converted to Lawson LP. Joanna_Bledsoedell.com

If anyone has someinsight, it would be greatly appreciated. I need to have this working Friday.

Anyone know if there are fields in a table for each of the fields that are displayed on the W-2 I was hoping that I might be able to build something to create an online W-2 for associates. (I know that MHC has an add-on to display W2 pdfs but I would rather not add-on their solution if I could just create a page to pull the fields.)

With MSS our supervisors will be entering personnel actions pending that will flow to the PA52. We would like this to trigger a smart notification with all the information that has been entered to the indirect supervisor. I can only get it to pull the header information (name, action, effective date) and the indirect supervisor code. It see the new information fields as repeats, combines them all together, and the field stays blank. How to I solve this issue Thanks, Lacey Bisnett

We are implementing Lawson HR/PR and have a question regarding special pay for employees. We give a flat amount of pay to employees who elects 'Family' coverage for the Medical benefit plan. Our PR Dept. currently process this in our legacy system through an interface program that reads the employees benefit election and creates the pay transaction for a flat amount of pay. How do you recommend we setup this up in our new Lawson system to ensure all employees with this coverage option g...

We don't want FICA displaying in the 'Tax Information' window that is part of Employee Drill Around in EMSS. Is there a way to remove this link without removing it from HR11 Drill Around Another option that would work for us is to leave the link, but supress the FICA number in the display. We are still running 8.03 apps / EMSS and LAUA security. Thanks.

Can anyone share functional differences between 9.0 and 9.01 I have a client planning to do an upgrade.

We maintain the occupational med tests (healthcare org) for our employees and we have multiple companies. We are having an issue with combining tests on the active employee record if the employee has worked in both companies. When our employees transfer in between companies, we want to transfer over their employee health tests so it will appear on the active company record for a complete history. Going forward, we are putting a process in place to make sure the tests get transfered when th...

I set up the benefit plan for spousal optional life and the rate table based on age,male female and smoker/non smoker. but if i enroll the spouse (through the employee), the rate table is not looking at the spouse gender but the employee gender and calculating premiums based on employee gender. I dont see anything in Lawson to accommodate for the spouse gender so that the rate can be based on the spouse gender. I tried flipping the contribution table so that a female employee enrolling the spous...

Hello Can anyone tell me how you are securing the User Fields (one or many) on the User Fields tab on HR11 I want to secure just a few. I don't see user fields on HR10 to do that. THanks for your help, Roger

We are converting to 9.0 from 8.1 on an iSeries. I had modified PR197 on Rel 8.1 with one line of code to call a CL program passing ECOMPANY... the CL program then called a RPGLE program that pulled information from DBPRPCH with the current flag DPCHCRRNFL with a status of 'Y' (this status, from what I could tell was only avaliable when PR197 was processing before eoj)I then built my transmission to the bank... The placement of the CL call in 8.1 was located about 1860 lines into the original ...

We use PA49 to track PPD's. I tried loading up dates for the next 5 years, and the system tells me that the date is realted to a test in the system. What I'm doing is adding tests for 4/01/2011; 4/01/2012; 4/01/2013 etc. I have the test date and the status of 1 (Scheduled) with the same Scheduled date as the test date. I can load the first, but it looks like Lawson does not allow test dates on the same day and month and does not look at the year.:crazy:
