HR10.1 - Data Item Attributes



Use Data Item Attributes (HR10.1) to store employee information
such as rate of pay and hire date. A topic refers to a window of HR11.1
(Employee). The Topic field lets you display data items for specific
topics.  Topics E1-E8 refer to a tabs on HR11.1 (Employee). Topics
LP and LV refer to Employee Absence Plan Master (LP31) and
Employee Leave of Absence (LP51) records.
Use HR10.1 (Data Item Attributes) to determine the attributes
for the following:



- Update Personnel Action,


- Required,


- Log Changes, and


- Security Level fields.

The Required field lets you determine if a field is required
anytime you add or change an employee record on any program. Required
 fields also provide  navigation through the tabs of HR11.1.


WARNING  When the application is delivered, all fields required
to run a payroll cycle are set up as required fields. This can be
changed if desired; however, Lawson recommends that you do not change
these delivered required fields. If you change them, Payroll may not
be able to perform some functions if the fields are not filled in.
For example, in the U.S. if you mark Location as not required and
do not enter a location for employees, the Tax Locator feature does
not create tax deduction for employees.



**More Information

The Update Personnel Action, Required, and Security Level fields
apply only to fields from the HR11.1 (Employee). The Log Changes field
applies to all employees, applicants, job codes, supervisors, and
deductions.
The Update Personnel Action field lets you determine if you
must change an employee data item through a personnel action instead
of maintaining it directly in HR11.1. Changes made through a personnel
action are only available with the Lawson Personnel application. Requiring
that changes be made via a personnel action provides assurance that
all fields related to an event are changed.


NOTE  If a field is blank on Employee (HR11.1) you will still
be able to enter a value into it on HR11.1 even when you check Update
Personnel Action. After the field has a value saved in it, you will
need to use a personnel action to change it.
The Log Changes field lets you determine if a field change is
to be logged, creating an audit trail.
The Security Level field lets you assign a security level of
1-9 to a data item. The highest security level is 1. To be able to
access the field for personnel actions, employee inquiry and HR Writer
features, a user's field security defined in HR09 (Field Level Security)
must be equal to or less than the security level defined for the field.

Use Position Item Attributes (HR10.2) to define default and override
behavior for each data item in the Position Management topic.
A data item is a field used to store information about a position such

if it is required when adding a position code and how it should default on
employee and requisition records.

fields you select for the country are NOT in addition to the required fields
