With the Post Office gearing up the enforce Address standards on May 1, 2009 - we're reviewing our current employee address information and finding cases where they aren't meeting the standard.&160; While we're training our staff to enter data the correctly, we also are building audits to catch entry errors.&160; Also, down the road we'd like to have employees enter their own addresses and address changes, so this will likely become a bigger issue. I know there are address verification servic...

Hoping someone in the group has filed their PR299 for Idaho and may be able to lend me a hand - my file keeps getting rejected with the message Line 4: State (RS) Record position 246-267: Idaho account in State Record (RS) not found. Reviewing the file, there are zeros in the above positions - we have our&160;state identification number on PR06, there's no place to put it on PR299, and there isn't any place for it on PR27.2, either. We have all of the year end updates in place, so I'm at...

I need feedback from my fellow Lawson users regarding PA100 and its processing of Personnel Actions.&160; My employer's organization uses Lawson 8.1 app and 8.0.3 environment, and some questions have come up regarding when Personnel Actions become effective in relation to the Effective Date and Effective Through Date.

We currently have Lawson HR feeding the time Accruals back to Kronos on a weekly basis so that employees can look at their balances in Kronos (using Lawson Time Accruals).

I have gotten request from my HR group that they would like to use Lawson to track all continuing education classes an employee may take after they have been hired. The information they are looking to track by individual employee would be class, institution, grade and complete date. I have not encountered this before and looking to see if anyone else is doing anything similar. In reviewing the system it looks like the only option would be to use PA20.1 to capture this information

Hoping someone has seen this before - I'm baffled! I have absolutely no idea how this happened, but we have an employee who received his Jan check (and it was a standard, regular pay) and had the correct net pay, however, there are no earnings associated with the payment.&160; If I view his data on PR50.2, all looks correct - his gross, net and deds are fine.&160; On PR51.1, the earnings page is totally blank.&160; We can't void the check - the PR141 produces an error that says the gross is n...

Also, what is the deadline to upgrade the enviornment to LSF9 Lastly, is the upgrade from 8.1 to 9 just an upgrade or a full implementation&160; I assume we would just need to have difference training. I'd appreciate on any insignt you can share with me. Barbara

Does anyone know the benefit and hindrance of using system control in the GL system&160; I know you can't close GL if the sub systems are not closed, how does GL know if PR is closed or not.&160; Right now we don't use System Control for PR or other sub systems except for AP. Does Lawson recommend it&160; Do you clients recommend it Does it work the same way in LSF9 as it would in 8.1 Appreciate your help. Barb

I'm looking for a Lawson table that will tell me the date of the most recent completed payroll.&160; In the Lawson ERD, I've seen a reference to a PRMONITOR table which looks like what I want, but I can't find that in my 8.03 system.&160; I'm connecting to the Lawson database via an MS Access ODBC connection. I'm pretty sure I have wide open access to all the 8.03 tables so I'm curious why I can't find the PRMONITOR table. Any ideas on why I can't find it&160; Or, alternatively, are th...

We are looking into changing providers for our 401K.&160; Currently, the file is built from some old COBOL jobs.&160; We were wondering if there was a job we could run that would give us a lot of the info we need to send the provider.&160; We currently use the BN106 files as a starting point for our other benefit providers, but I was told this would not work for the 401K. How do you currently get the info you need for 401K providers&160; The only other option I can think of would be trying...

Is anyone aware of a way to secure the payrate for a select group of employees&160; We are trying to secure the rate of pay for our executive staff from users who need to have access to the rate of pay for all other employees.&160; Has anyone found a way to accomplish this&160; We are currently on version 9.0 with LAUA Security, and we have looked at using HR Employee Security and Data Item Security but it seems to restrict it for all employees - not just the select number

An employee, multiple positions The employee's main position (union), union contract specifies that at 2080 hours, there's an increase in pay (over time may/may not be counted, depending on contract)&160; The employee has another position (Casual - Non-Union) The hours worked in the casual position cannot be counted towards his Union job's 2080 hours. The question is, can Lawson keep the two seperate, with one employee number Thanks in advance, Terry

In app v7, it was possible to run a payroll for taxable fringe benefits only - however, I'm finding in v8.1 that no check ID is assigned by the PR160, so the pr won't close.&160; Any idea if this is still possible Thanks in advance
