hr521

good afternoon,

we are in the process of writing interfaces between our outside e-recruiting vendor and lawson.

for new hires from outside the company - it is a fairly straight forward upload via HR511

now we are trying to write one interface for internal transfers and/or rehires. i knew this would be a bit more complicated. this complication is due to the existing history aspects of an existing active employee transferring to an internally posted job or an employee who once worked for the company, quit & has been re-hired to work at the company again.

one of the persons in our 'think tank' said that we could still use hr511 for re-hires and transfers. i strongly disagreed becuse of the history issue.

the vendor was gleaning thru the lawson documentation & asked about hr521.

based on what i have read about hr521, it is a good fit, its purpose is the same as the hr511, except it will take in account that existing information resides in lawson about this transferred /rehired employee - and the information will pass thru more as an pa52 event & not an hr11 one.

is this the correct route to go? i have to read a little more about the file layoutm but am assuming (hate to do that with lawson) that i can pull in the basic required fields lawson needs to setup a 'new' hire.

also if the rehire data info flows via hr521 to pa52, i would have to run pa100 to update the info in the history file? - again another assumption - yes...

thank you all for your feedback....
