BN430


BN430 - Benefit Purge

Run BN430 (Benefit Purge) to purge employee, COBRA participant, and retiree
benefits and their deductions. Lawson recommends that you retain one year of
benefit history.

Note: Lawson strongly recommends that you create a backup of the information
that you want to purge by following your MIS procedures.

BN430 offers you three ways to purge benefits. You can purge:

1) all benefits, flex dollar records, employee deductions, and standard time
records under a flex plan for a specified flex plan year.

2) all non-flex benefit and deductions with a stop date that is equal to or
earlier than a particular date.

3) all non-flex benefit and deductions in effect on a particular date. Lawson
strongly recommends caution when using this option. It is designed to purge
test data and as a result will purge benefits even if payroll history exists.

Lawson recommends that you review the information you want purged by
selecting Report Only in the Update field. After you select Update and purge
the information, you can no longer access that information.
