We are in the process of outsourcing our taxes. We have never used Lawson to calculate FUTA, currently it is done by our tax accountant as a manual process, but a FUTA code exists in the system as just a "T" taxable ded code. 5 of our 52 process levels need to be set up to calcualte the tax so it can be passed to our outsourcing company. Here's my problem: I need to set-up a second code for just those process levels that need it, but Lawson doesn't allow more then one code per employee for FUTA and the PR113 will only update the code that comes first alphabetically.

So I've come up with a work around and wonder if anyone can tell me if they have a better process or see any issues with mine, it is as follows:

Go to PR13.7 to disable FUTA
go to PR15.2 (or PR14) enter an end date ~ then add FUTX on the PR15.2
go back to PR13.7 click on the "User Tax Deduction" tab and add the FUTX there.
All of this is done by individual employee

I've tested it and it does work but again I wonder if there is an easier way or a mass update option, because I'm looking at about 500 employees.

Thanks so much for any advice
