Backloading history years after implementation

It would not be that difficult to include some history information for fields. Especially if you know how to use addins.

Term date looks to be fld_nbr=27

I think you could add this history records - just make sure that you think through how it will affect your reporting. We added history information when we migrated to Lawson and now it makes some of my reports a bit kludgey because they used the wrong feilds for the history.

Thanks for answering. Can you elaborate more on your warning about using the wrong fields for the history?

Kathy, when we implemented Lawson we apparently loaded the history of positions to the position code field. However, we had a different structure/format for the codes and now when we run reports on history we get data that does not fit our current code formats. We also have some performance ratings that someone loaded into the Job Title field in HRHISTORY. I am thinking that they did not think it would matter - and - it does not matter within Lawson but it does matter when running crystal reports against the data directly. (I was going to remove it but everyone already created their reports to work around the extra HRHISTORY data.)

Good luck - hope the HR54 MS-Add-Ins works well for you.
