We set up each of our facilities as a process level and we have employees that work in multiple facilities. All of them are in the same county/state. When they work in multiple facilities, all of their
deductions get split up by their percentage of hours worked in each process level. Their deductions don't get charged to their accounting units, they all roll to one benefits accounting unit.
Is there any way to set this up so that the deductions don't split up? It makes reporting a nightmare. Were we wrong to set up process levels when we built Lawson?

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

Have you looked at thr PR05 set up?

If I work 40 hours in a position coded to  P/L A, and 40 hours in position coded to  P/L B, and my medical deduction is $100, currently the system splits my deduction and $50 goes to P/L A and $50 goes to P/L B.

The $100 should not be split between the process levels - it is one amount that should go to my HR11 P/L, or it shouldn't be attached to a P/L at all.

I would look at your PR05 set up first. If the dist company and dist a/u are blank, the system will cause deductions to follow the time records. You can set it up to have that information static by filling it in by process level. Look at the More tab and then additional accounts.

Another option in benefits, is to use GL Overrides.

I would try the PR05 first.

I hope that helps to give you some direction.

If I add the company and A/U to each deduction, will it then ignore process level splits? It's doing it for garnishments, etc - not just benefits, so if we can get PR05 to work that would be great.

If I am understanding correctly, it should. Try it in a test environment first. Always better to test it before you commit it to GL, I believe.

I don't think PR05 will help. It's the nature of Lawson data. A couple of possibilities:change the report. Don't group on PROCESS_LEVEL.

Or when you load to PR35/36 don't populate the PROCESS_LEVEL (in work tab) but let it default from HR11. You can still expense to other AU's on the DST_ACCT_UNIT (expenses tab)

This is what worked - Changed PA06 Payroll Tab - Process Level, Department to 1 - Ignore Positions.  Pay Rate and GL Expense, Activity are still set to All Positions, the labor still splits to the proper positions/accounting units, but all of the deductions fall to the home process level so no more splits.
