    When we went live with Lawson in February 2016, we were told that when we make updates to positions, we need to keep the effective date 1/1/1950.  However, we have run into some issues with that logic.  We are getting a bunch of retroactive history updates on PA55 that I have to clear out at least twice a week.  When you guys update a position on PA02, do you use the current date?  I see this as more logical so that you can see the history of the position as well.

    Anyone else do it differently?

      We absolutely use a new date. We use an effective date same as we would if we were doing a PA52 change. If you always keep the 01/01/1950 date you will absolutely have a mess (as you can already see). Also - you will not have the history to track when things changed etc.
