HR515


HR515 - User Field Conversion

Run HR515 (User Field Conversion) to Convert applicant, employee, or position
user field information from a non-Lawson system.

This program takes  fields from a comma-separated value (CSV) file and
updates the associated employee, applicant, or position files. Edits are
performed as if the changes were made online.

Use the Add function in the CSV file for initial user field creation.

Use the Change function in the CSV file to update existing employee,
applicant, or position user field data.

Planning Considerations:
1. Determine the types of records you will convert.  Options are:
- Applicant User fields
- Employee User fields
- Position User fields
Note: Only one of these types can be converted per conversion.

2. If loading applicant or employee data, valid user fields must be set up in
HR04. If loading position data, valid user fields must be set up in PA04.
Effective and End dates are utilized when converting position user fields. If
left blank, the user field data will be associated with the most recent
position effective/end date.

3. Determine if you want to update history.

Before you run HR515:
- Ensure companies are defined in HR00.1 (Company).
- Ensure employees are defined in HR11.1 (Employee).
- Ensure Applicants are defined in PA31.1 (Applicant) if you are converting
applicant user fields.
- Ensure positions are defined in PA02.1 (Position) if you are converting
position user fields.
- Ensure user fields are defined in HR04.1 (HR Code Setup).
- Ensure position user fields are defined in PA04.1 (User Field Setup) if you
are converting positions.

The following database files are updated by the conversion:
