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...

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.)

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...

Why does PR13 Tax update screen allow an employer to select replacement percent or flat amount for Federal and State taxes My payroll information indicates that Flat Dollar amount or percentage is not allowed.

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 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...

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

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...

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 ...

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 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.

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

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

Does anyone out there use HR84 I was told that there are 9 screens HR84.1-HR84.9. However, I can only access HR84.4-HR84.8 by going to HR07 and clicking define on the user fields. 1) I'm wondering where are the other HR84s 2) What do you use HR84 for

HR11 will be set-up with a salary class of Salaried and the Exempt from OT field will be set to No. Does anyone have a fluctuating workweek OT plan set-up in Lawson to calculate the overtime Do you use the delivered PR132 to calculate the OT or did you write a custom program If you have this set-up in Lawson, could you share your set-up please Thank ...

Hoping someone can tell me what tells BSI which deduction codes should be tracked in Lawson Payroll toward the 16,500 limit for 401(k) contributions. We have two BN15 benefit plans and of course two PR05 deduction codes but it was setup a long time ago so we are not sure what tells BSI to count certain deductions toward the annual limt of 16,500.... Can anyone tell me what makes the connection Thanks Shane

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

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...

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

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...

When trying to ADD a job using portal I am getting an error 500, and when I add using LID its okay, but this is not good as the administrator has to log in for me. can anyone 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...

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.

Does anyone use the calculation type 1 Rate x Unit If so, how do you use it or what do use it for Thanks, Jeff
