HR521 - Employee History Conversion

Use HR521 (Employee History Conversion) to take information from a
comma-separated value (CSV) file and update personnel action history or
employee history. The program creates a history of changes to the employee
without updating the employee's record.

If you use the LAWSON INSIGHT Personnel Administration system, you can
convert history for job or position levels 1 through 5.

This program can be used to create history for any fields of employee master,
deduction master, or user fields.

For each record in the CSV file, you must include the field number and type
of the data item in Employee History that was changed. The data items in the
Human Resources History, their number and type are listed in the Human
Resources History Contents in Chapter 4:  System Logic of the Human Resources
Procedures Manual.  History may be loaded for any fields on the topics E1-E8
and EP (with the exception of the company number and employee number).

Planning considerations:
1. Determine the records you will convert.

- Determine if you will convert personnel action history or only employee
history. If you choose to create personnel action history, you have a
personnel action code on each record.

- When personnel action history is created, the file holding employee
history, HRHISTORY, is automatically created. Personnel action history is just
like the history created when you perform a personnel action using Individual
Action (PA52.1). Employee history records those changes made directly to
Employee (HR11).

2. Define test samples.
If you are loading personnel action data, it is recommended that you use a
sample including several types of actions.

Before you run HR521:
- Ensure employees are defined in HR11.1 (Employee).

The following files are updated by the conversion:
- HRHISTORY

Workfile name:
HR521CSV

To verify data:
- Run a report of the Employee Audit Report (HR105) for the date of the
changes. Use the date the conversion programs run.
