Hi, I have searched and searched for additional documentation on LP31 dates.  The user guide does not go into detail and the field help is not helping.  I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you! Sandy

Does anyone offer Electronic W-2's to their employee's  If so do you offer them to terminated employees  What time of year do you obtain the consent from employees

Hello, An employee can accrual more than he can use in a year. How do I set up a rule that limits an employee to where they can only record X amount of sick or vacation, etc a year   thank you in advance.

I need the account names for the payroll wage expense accounts (PRDISTRIB). Example: Go to PR20.4, Accounts Tab and you can see 'REGULAR WAGES' for account number 601999 (or whatever ). Supposedly this is 'DESCRIPTION' in the GLMASTER table, but I cannot find this field when I dump that table with a Crystal query. H E L P !!! I think I've looked everywhere......

Hi Everyone,  We are in the midst of opening our Open Enrollment and ran into a snag with the 27 pay periods.  We have already updated the pay frequency tables in BN15 to reflect 27 pay periods and ran BN104 with an effective date of 1/1/2015 to pick up the amount of pay periods.  When I go in to BN32 I can see that the new rates took. However in my OE process, it is still picking up the 26 pay period rates.  Is there any step that I'm missing for it to take the 27 pay period divisor What d...

Hello, how can I turn off the Emergency Contacts tab in ESS Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

We're looking for a way to not have any time accruals on that last payroll for any of the absence plans affected by the 27th pay period.   We could make a manual adjustment on each person's balances,  but that seems like the worst possible solution and the last balance printed on their checks would be incorrect.   Does anyone have any ideas how we could accomplish this   Thanks!

We'd be interested in talking to anyone who has set up (or attempted to set up) position control so that requisitions are checked against the PA70 budget.  In particular, we'd like to know...   1) Do you have unique positions by employee or by role 2) Do you use MSS and Lawson requisitions (PA42) 3) Do you interface with any other third party recruitment system (i.e. Position Manager / HealthCare Source)   Thank you, Annette 603-6632608 agervaisElliot-hs.org

We set up our LP plans several years ago, so I'm a bit fuzzy on setting up something new, so this is a little rambling with lots of questions.  Currently, our PTO plan has a limit of 300 hours.  Employee can exceed the 300 hour balance until the first of a new year when we reset it back to 300.  We would like to change the plan to a limit of 300 hours at any time.  In other words, when the employee reaches the max of 300 hours balance, they will not accrue until the balance drops below 300.  Can...

benefit contribution set up when employee pays both percent of salary and flat amount Just wondering if this is possible and if anyone can help with the setup.

I've read in various forums where some companies use hundreds of employee groups.  We are on version 9.0.1 and use them for benefit plans,  accruals, standard time records and a few for grouping jobs.  I'm wondering if there are other uses of employee groups that we might be missing out on.  I would appreciate hearing from others on how they use groups, especially hundreds of them!  Thank you

I am trying to get hours to show on the PR295.  Currently all hours are reflected as 0.00, so we assumed it was because the PR197 was deleting the time records.  I'm told the close process was tested without checking the delete time records flag, but the hours still did not appear.  Any suggestions Thanks in advance!

I was wondering how many other organizations use LP application  If so, How many plans do you operate Do you have a set up for accruals and allotment What jobs do you run for the LP process How often do you run the jobs Do you have any jobs set up to run automatically Have you had any problems with the LP application if so what problems Have you had any success with the LP application if so what are the success  Who runs the LP jobs Did you have an consultant come in and hel...

The BN105 was run prior to loading Open Enrollment Records...what options are avaiable to us to correct this

Does anybody out there use the subset of AP and the interface file out of Lawson Payroll to a non Lawson AP to generate Garnishment checks We are looking at just using the APCINVOICE file generated by the PR198 to send to our JDE AP for the generation of payments.   Having just the subset of AP, we seem to be getting in a viscous cycle of going nowhere with the AP setup.   My thought was that we need an AP company and the ability to setup some vendor records.    Anybody have any thoughts S...

We have to pay someone for 3 pay periods in one check. Payroll is trying to use the PG field/function on PR35.2 to group the separate pay period's time records together so that they won't be lumped together for tax purposes, but it isn't working. Is there some other way to do this Or do they have to cut manuals for the previous two pay periods

Hi, Is there a way in Lawson to charge the employee's benefit premium (Health/Dental) to their home cost center For the employee recovery as well, we had to map this to 1 cost center, then run a PR295 to allocate this to the employee's home cost center. For our phycian based practices, we prefer to charge all the benefits to the employee's home cost center. Thanks!

We are attempting to install BSI TF10 in our production environment (installing in TEST was a bear to say the least with the little guidance and poorly written documentation BSI provided). All steps seem to have worked fine, however when we installed the BSI TF10 Master Tax Data file using the tfloader command, we received the following message: tfloader.c:GetClientDataSet: 1124 - A PROVISIONAL LICENSE HAS BEEN INSTALLED FOR HOST: DCHERP0900F74E414C00.  THE PROVISIONAL LICENSE WILL EXPIRE ON 0...

My client is acquiring a company that is running Lawson, we need to maintain their current Company/PL setup for purposes of benefits/PA and downstream/upstream integration points however we also need to change the EIN under which the employees are working/rolling up for W2 purposes.  Currently there are 15 PL's rolling up to 1 Head PL (PR09) and another 4 PL's rolling to another Head PL, so 2 EIN's.  I've created a new PL, flagged it as independent and gone to PR09 and deleted the relationship b...

If you are using the Head process level would you be willing to share your set up with us We are trying to have two head process levels.  It does not look like this can be done.  We have 4 PL's that are non profit and 3 that are taxable.  Has anyone been able to build Lawson so the Unemployment taxes come out for the taxable enities

I am creating a new topic to repond to this so it doesn't confuse others.   The question was  We are having a problem with the Unemployment taxing correctly for each taxable EIN. We have some Taxable and some non profit   My answer is Do you have seperate BSI Companies set up for you process levels where necessary

Has anyone done this with add-ins I'm trying to delete many records from PA03 via add-ins and I must be missing a field. I am using company, position, effective date, fc=D, field number and Change Only, and it says it ran but no message under results and the record has not been deleted. Appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

Please tell me I am missing something.  I am trying to load new payment overrides for 2015 for our DC plans and do not see drop down boxes to select Authority, Tax Type, etc.  Does anyone know where they are   Thanks for your help.

Hello, We have accruals based on Total FTE as a Factor in the calculation.  When we run LP 140 to update available hours, the accruals are based on Total FTE.  Is there a way to date stamp the FTE so that if we are running LP140 in December for the November accruals, the FTE from November would be used to calculate the accruals instead of the FTE of the employee in December Currently it is picking up the FTE in December even if the LP 140 is run through 11/30. Any advice would be greatly ap...

Is anyone willing to share how you bring in your changes from the vendor file Add-ins or BN531 And then how do you subsequently manage the match limits From my experience, the correct limit for the new deduction that was created based on the deferral change has to be manually calculated based upon ytd on the deduction, but there must be a better way. Thank you for any knowledge that you are willing to share.
