My company recently upgraded to Lawson 9.0. We are in the process of converting some of our plans and using the BN103 to stop benefits and BN531 to enroll them in new plans. My question is, how can this be done in the new Lawson since there is no place to upload the file created by BN103 and you cannot define CSV attributes in the new Lawson 9.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why not just run the BN103 and then use the Add-ins to query the BENEFIT table into Excel, change the start dates, and then use the Upload Wizard to bring them back in with the new dates?  I've done it quite a few tmes and it saves people quite a bit of time.

How do you upload the table created back into Lawson?

This feedback is much appreciated. We are just in the mist of starting to use Add-ins

What do you mean?
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!

I am not sure that I follow. Whether you use the Upload Wizard or the 531, the data hits the same table. Conversion programs still work in Lawson 9. Do you mean that you can't get to jobdef via Portal?
