Fairly new to Infor and we are beginning our first patching project.  Was wondering if anyone could share their test scripts (or at least a sample)  I realize every company is different with different processes and whatnot, but we are starting from scratch really, so anything would help.  Also if you have any tips/tricks or lessons learned you think might be helpful, would love to hear them!   Thanks! Jenn

We are using lawson-httpclient.jar in a Java project to login and then make AGS calls to Lawson.   Basic java code:   LawsonHttpClient lhc = new LawsonHttpClient();   lhc.login(sSSOURL, sUserName, sPwd);   ResponseObject response = null;   response = lhc.executePostMethod(sTransURL, pTransXML, 'text/xml');   return response.getResponseBodyAsString(); We have been successful with many different calls, but when we attempt to add an employee using a HR11 call we get the below return ...

We are in the process of migrating from TA to Absence Management. During this process we found that we need to use the PMTOUT file to generate checks intead of the process we are currently using under TA. This morning we found out the data file that we previously used to create direct deposit receipts does not have data in it either. It looks like we need to use the PMTOUT file for both check creation and direct deposit receipts. Is there a flag in the PMTOUT file that differentiates between an ...

Is anyone using the COBRA module and screens (BN70, etc) to track COBRA participation and enrollment in medical, dental and vision  Are you sending enrollment files to your medical carrier for the COBRA participants  If so which file are you using to send that  Are you sending them with your employees who are enrolled or as two separate files

Has anyone turned on the auto assignment of numbers after manually assigning numbers for a long time We are currently manually assigning employee numbers in Lawson.  Unfortunately our numbers are not consistent and we have used four digit numbers as well as 6 or 7 digit numbers.   If we were to turn on the auto assignment of employee numbers, would it know to skip numbers that were already in use or would the random numbers that we used be a problem Ie) if we set the last number used to 310...

I am trying to identify the relationship between employee and lawson portal user. As we know we can use lawson SSO servlet API to verify the user access to the portal. Is there any way we can get associated employee information like employee_id for this user login id from Lawson DB tables. Thanks in advance.

I am importing data into HREMPUSF table which affects benefits, but the employee is not added to the benefit group when I run HR155, what am I missing   Thanks

Hello! I was wondering if there was anyone whose company offers Traditional 401(k) option and Roth with Company Match If so, what system do you use to calculate the match We need to aggregate both types of deferrals for the matching calculation. Lawson cannot first add both types of deferrals and then apply the appropriate matching formula. So, I was wondering if anyone can share how they do it   thanks!

We just went live on LSF10 and I missed this in testing. I changed an employee's fte via PA52, then did a reverse action to change it back. The action reversed, but the position record remains. Has anyone else had this There's a KB article from 2008 but I don't see anything recently.

We do not use ESS.  Our benefits team does all benefit enrollment manually.  Right now it is a 3 step process. 1 - Enroll employees on BN32.1 or BN31.2 2 - Enter dependent information on HR13, 3 - Attach dependents to the benefits.  Even if we use uploads we are using 3 uploads to accomplish enrollments.  This is a very inefficient process and we're hoping that maybe there is a better more efficient way to process benefit enrollments/changes/terms.  Does anyone have a good process they ...

Can anyone provide a comprehensive Open Enrollment Checklist  I am a detailed oriented and want all my steps checked off.  Has anyone created one that can be followed

We have been testing the change of our General Ledger from a calendar year to fiscal year ending 6/30. My question relates to the BN, HR, PR, LP, and PA subsystems. Is there anything within the HR/PR modules that needs to be done in preparation of this type of accounting change Our benefits will remain on a calendar year. Since payroll processing will remain on a calendar year to coincide with IRS and State tax reporting guidelines, I don't believe we would make any changes to our pay period da...

Hi All, I am trying to troubleshoot an issue in EMSS, and it would be helpful to be able to change the employee Identity on-the-fly so I can see how the page reacts for different employees.  Currently, I either have to log out-and-in as different test users, or I have to use the debugger to change the authUser.employee value - if I can catch the page at the right place. It seems to me that I used to know a way to do this via a url parameter or something - but I can't remember for sure.  Anybod...

We have a custom program that I want to change to minimize data entry. Currently the user has to enter pay period start date, pay period end date, pay check dates ,etc. I want them to enter just the pay period end date and my program should lookup the pay check date. Does anybody know what files paycheck dates

Since LSF10 removed the AZ Formula field and placed the Tax values in the BSI Formula field, employees in the state of Arizona are unable to use the ESS bookmark Payment Modeling. Employees in other states have no problem. If I do a PR89 within the application for AZ it works fine. Has anyone else in AZ experienced this, and if so how did you resolve it

Has anyone been successful in setting up a Deferred Compensation plan as a Benefit We currently have this set as a custom Deduction but would like to look into the options of setting it up as a Benefit.

Hello, I will start by saying I am not very familiar with Lawson software, but I have been tasked with helping to get our ESS module to allow people to access ESS outside of our network, basically available to the web. We currently run Lawson on an iSeries system.   The person tasked with this previously has left the company and he didn't have much luck getting it working so there are few notes and documents around what was done or what needed to be done.   My basic understanding is that...

Applied 9.0.1.10 and upgraded tax factory to v10 and our Local PA School District taxes are not being withheld.  In the BSI client I went through the tax locator modeling and BSI correctly returned both the local county and school district information.  Similarly, enabled debug in Lawson/BSI and ran a PR80.  the output log shows a calculated tax amount for the school district but none was withheld.     Is there anyone with employees in PA that have upgrade to TF10 or are in process and either ...

We are in biweekly 26-pay-period vacation accrual schedule in Absence Management. I have never understood why. Currently some employees are accrued at the last date of the pay period while other employees are accrued at the middle of the pay period. I am exploring different options to make our vacation plans more manageable. Does anyone have different accrual schedule other than 26-pay-period vacation accruals in place What about vacation plans that accrue only on the first two payrolls (24 p...

Beginning in the 1st Qtr of 2015 Maine has broken out the old verion of the SUI/SIT file so that it is now 2 files that must be submitted.  Lawson rewrote the SUI file but did nothing about the SIT file. I have been talking with the help desk on this but it not mvong along very quick (if at all).  With the deadline coming up in a couple of weeks for submission, I was wondering what othe Maine clients are doing

We are working on adding process levels for several different global locations for the purpose of housing employee master records only.   Is there a way to add these locations without creating a new bank code for each country  We are only using this for the purpose of maintaining  organizational related data (Proc Level, job code, supervisor, location etc).  It seems like you get prompted to add more and more banking,  currency, and accounting related data when trying to add a record on HR01...

Capturing Total Cost on form W-2 Box 12 for Health Care Coverage: How are your organizations handling reporting the total cost for health care coverage on the W-2s as required by ACA We currently have our setup looking at deduction codes, but do not create arrears for the employer portion when employees are on leave or unpaid.  We have ADP so are using the custom interface from them that uses the deduction codes, in addition to pay summary groups, pay class, and deduction classes.  We only used...
