AC530 - Activity Time Interface

Use (AC530) (Activity Time Interface) to update the Activity Management
system with Lawson Payroll time records (hours and amounts) before the Payroll
cycle is completed. AC530 lets you update Activity Management actual amounts
before you pay employees, so you can recognize revenue and bill activity time
as it occurs in the Activity Management system, and not be delayed by the pay
frequency (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly). Transactions created by
this program cannot be changed in AC55.1 (Activity Transaction Edit), AC70.3
(Transfer), or AC70.4 (Write Down). You can put them on hold in AC70.1
(Revenue Billing Adjustments).

This program creates Activity Transaction (ACTRANS) records by reading the
Lawson Payroll Employee Time Records (TIMERECORD) file. The program backs out
Payroll commitments, if they exist.

To limit the activities you update, enter an activity group, up to six
activities, or an activity list. To limit the time records you select, enter a
Payroll company, process level, and a time record through-date.

You can override the annual hours defined on the Payroll company by entering
annual hours on the batch parameters screen. Annual hours are required to
calculate standard rates for salaried employees. A posting date is required.
This date updates the posting date on the Activity Transaction (ACTRANS)
record created by this program.

Entering an attribute is optional. If you are updating records for Time and
Materials billing, you might want to display the labor attribute defined on
the Labor Rate Schedule to make verification easy for non-update editing.
Entry of attributes is only for printing on the report layout. It does not
determine the attributes assigned to the transactions. Attributes for the
transactions are defined by source code PW on GL05.1 (Source Code).

Updated Files

                 which is no longer considered a commitment.

    ACMXVAL    - Updates this file with the billing attributes and values.

    ACTRANS    - This is the primary file maintained by the program.
                 Transaction records are created based on data from the
                 Timerecord file.

    CKPOINT    - Used for restart capability.

    MXLISTHDR  - Updates the Last Build Time and Last Build Date fields on this
                 file.
