Hello.......We are loading 1st quarter history for a new facility we're bringing on April 1st. Does anyone know how to designate certain deduction i.e medicare and social secruity as Company deductions so the system doesn't try and subtract them from earnings. Should we just leave them off the csv file and if so is there another process to load that history such as Microsoft Add-Ins? We're getting errors that the net pay doesn't match.

Thanks for any help you can give and if anyone has an example of a csv file that you've loaded successfully I would be interested in seeing it. :rolleyes:

For the most part, conversions work very much like entering the information manually on a form. So for the deduction conversion, you may want to try to manual enter a deduction that is giving you issues on PR14.1. Hypothetically, you should get the same error message. If this is the case, you can work with PR14 to try and narrow down the cause.

Also, make sure the 'adjust' pay is set to C for company on PR05.1 for the deduction that is giving you an error. This indicates whether a deduction is an EE or ER specific deduction.

You shouldn't have to load any of the deductions using add-ins, they should all be able to process using the deduction conversion program.

LawsonsNbr1Fan thanks for the tip on the PR14 but isn't that for setting up the deduction? We've already loaded the deductions to the PR15.2 now what we need to do is load the 1st quarter history amounts. I do have the "C" flagged on the deductions that are Company. The errors we get indicate the the system is trying establish a net pay amount and it's including the company deductions in the claculation which I obviously don't want it to do. I was wondering if there's a way to indicate what type of deduction it is on the csv file.

I hope I'm explaining this right. :nix:

Which Lawson job are you using for the import?

The PR560 Payroll History Load CSV

As long as you have the deduction set up in the application as company paid, the pr560 will recognize that it's company paid and will not try to subtract it from the employee gross. So, if you have "EFIC" Employee FICA set with the Adjust Pay field "S" - employee paid; and "CFIC" Company FICA and Adjust pay "C" Company paid, the 560 will only use the first for cross-foot checking. I've previoulsly converted 10 years of weekly pay detail, so I feel your pain!! :blink:

Good luck
