:confused:Kara, our GL Specialist, brought an issue to Lawson which is that our Flex Leave liability is not posting from the Absence Management (LP) System to the General Ledger according to normal accounting rules. The Lawson Rep is recommending that we create a custom calculation in LP by setting the variables in LP07.1 and then writing code in the LPCUSTOMPD Library. If someone has a simliar custom calculation in LP that they would be willing to share, I would really appreciate it. Gracias.

I am inthe middle of 2 LP projects. At one of them I have code in LPUSTOMPD and at the other, I have a custom version of LP198.

Are you sure you need the LPCUSTOMPD ? That will calculate accruals based on your logic. That will also affect the plan balances.

From what you indiccate, I think you need to customize LP198. Accruals have already been calculated and the LP related drill-around show the correct transactions and balances ?
You just want to manipluate what goes into GL ?

You're right - I need the custom to LP198 and not to LPCUSTOMPD because I don't need to change the way that the accruals are calculated. Thanks for your post!

Check out the routine
370-CALCULATE-HRS-LIAB-AMT SECTION.

In there, the liability amount is calculated as

COMPUTE GE-LIAB-AMT
= (LPPAY-PAY-RATE * GE-LIAB-HOURS).

This is where I have inserted my customization. Good luck.
