We are getting ready to implement ADPs E-Time and Attendance which is Krono's time system (they just resell it) and I was wondering if there were some folks out there that I could contact regarding the experience they have with there interface from Kronos to Lawson PR. Is there anything in Lawson that we have to do before this implementation We are on 9.0.1 and we currently use the Lawson time card and the employees supervisor enters only exception time (vacation,sick). When we go with Kro...

What is the concensus on the preferred approach to deny employees the ability to make changes (address change, direct deposit change, etc.) in ESS while payroll is being run One suggestion we had was to remove the group that has access to the bookmarks for these tasks. (We have one global group, to which all portal users belong.) This would be done as one of the 'pre-payroll tasks' and then the group would be added back to the task once payroll was completed. Our thought was to just run a...

I've seen a couple of threads here about Kronos and Lawson. We are currently sending position codes to Kronos but we would like to start using the Job Code instead and then marry it to the process level and department when creating the time record for PR530 to pull in. For anyone currently using kronos, is this the right approach We are trying to make it easier at the clock for employees when transferring departments and not having to type/remember a position code, and also cut down on the numb...

We are looking at sending actual term dates via an 834 to our medical, dental and vision providers.     Is there anyone doing this Perhaps someone who recently moved not doing it.  Are you sending them as two separate files I have some other questions, but perhaps I can send those directly.     Thanks! 

I have a request to automate Payroll Processing because we have 11 affiliates and it takes time to run all of the jobs.  The kicker is they still want separate output for each affiliate and do not want it ran in bulk - plus the output in pdf form.  I have some thoughts on how to do this but wanted to see if anyone had a template that they use or have some experience with this.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Julia

We have a Floating Holiday plan which hours can be used/taken from 9/1 to 8/31. On 9/1 all employee Holiday banks are manually set to zero, then reset to 24 hours and are available starting 9/1.   For new hires their Holiday plan allotment bank hours are prorated and set using a manual LP70 transaction. For some unknown reason since we loaded the 2019 Holiday Bank Hours in September 2018 (as we have done in previous years) for the current fulltime employees the Holiday banks for...

I'm in version 10.0.8, and the BN299 manifest file is still not generating the Augmentation Number... anyone else having these issues  We are in the process of upgrading to Version 10.0.10 and when I'm testing, it works in that version.  Just curious if we missed a patch for our current version that is obviously programming fix in 10.0.10.   Thanks!

We are having difficulty in our allotment of FH and are wondering if we should create a field and use service (instead of of cycles) to get the allotment working.  Basically, new hires would need a YOS from the adjusted hire date to be their qualifier for the allotment  - not number of pay cycles because they could be rehired and need to start over.   Have you ever stored the YOS in a field in S3 and have it update regularly

Hello,   I was wondering how anyone has handled an employees first name that is more than 15 characters on HR11.  I know the preferred name is longer, but that feeds into other systems so we want the actual preferred name to be captured in that field.   Wondering how this will impact W2's and 1095's  Will the record be rejected because the name/SSN aren't valid  

A little off topic but I am hoping someone in this community can help me.   Do you happen to use HealthCare Source Position Manager   If so, do you post a general opening in Position Manager  Do you interface positions or jobs from Lawson  Did you set up a generic job/position in Lawson to interface over to Position Manager   Thanks for any insight you can provide.    

We ran our BN299 and submitted it in February, however we saw that a new patch was released and that the fields for FTE Count and Minimum Essential Coverage Provided were missing from the 1094-C XML file (only had total 1095C form count). Does anyone have a guide other than the PRYE User Guide for how to setup BN27  Also, if we offered coverage to employees (Code 1K) and they did NOT enroll, it populates the Safe Harbor Code with 2H.  We also noticed that it was listing the months ...

So I have been tasked with validating our 1094C output against the IRS schemas and currently I'm having to edit every XML tag in the file because our system didn't output the namespace prefixes on the XML tags.   Can someone point me in the direction of how to get those tag prefixes fixed in the 1094C output

I need a listing of all dependents and their plans. However, the BN321 seems to only list employee ID. Can I add the dependents SSN on to the report or is there another report that provides all dependents of employees and retirees with their SSN

Hello,   We are trying to write a Crystal Report that will mimic the PA340 report in Lawson.  Our end users would like to see the description for both the previous and new value from the transfer activity.  We have attempted to develop a crystal report, but with mixed results.  Has anybody written a Crystal Report for transfer activity that they would be willing to share  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Hello,   We wrote a report in Crystal to analyze turnover activity.  The department is in the Group Header and the turnover detail is in the Group Footer in the report.  Is there a way to conditionally suppress the Group Header based on detail from the Group Footer  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Hi,   We are trying to find a way to hide particular fields in ESS - address change and emergency contact change. For example - phone number country code. Our business is located in only one city, so I don't want to complicate things for employees by having country code.  Is there any way to do this Thanks, Rachel

We currently have HR/PR v10 of Lawson and are in the process of implementing Lawson ERP. Does anyone have any testing scenarios or scripts they could share to ensure we don't miss any integration or interface steps between HR/PR and Finance/Supply Chain Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Is there anyone here who works in the Public Sector that utilizes position control in Lawson We currently use it, but I believe we could be doing it more efficiently.  I'm interested to learn how others utilize it, particularly in the public sector. 

I have a problem, I have an employee who resigned from the company and then one year was hired in another position. I entered the transaction in PA52, then when I went to execute PA100 I showed this error: Processing PA100 (Action Update) File PROD/EMPLOYEE. tsStoreDBRec error is Record was modified or deleted since your retrieval (131). Additional information is 100. Additional Text is: ModifySqlRec(LAWSON.'EMPLOYEE', 0). I read the ladb.log and don't shows anything.

Hi all, We currently have a 457b pre-tax plan and are using BSI group overrides for that. We are looking to add a ROTH after-tax deduction to our current 457b plan. When testing the BSI overrides, it does not appear to be factoring both the pre-tax(BSIP004) and the after-tax (BSIP026) when looking at the maximum, so it is deducting over the total annual limit. We believe it has to do with the option selected on the BSI override. Should it be 'Aggregate to Highest Maximum' We tested usi...

OK, I think I'm missing the forest for the trees on this one. I've been given a list of 27 position codes and asked to produce a listing of everyone currently in those position codes and how long each person has been in that position. It's the recursing back through the chain of PAEMPPOS records for each person that's baking my noodle. I can't just pull MIN(EFFECT_DATE) because they may have been in that position before with a break in service, and I have to consider ONLY their current length ...

Has this happened to anyone  I am very frustrated.   My add-ins query will sometimes run and return data, other times it looks like it is running but no data.  On uploads, sometimes I get message, others no message but upon querying the form, the data was added.   Solutions
