FMLA Usage Rollback

I am looking to see how other Lawson user handle rolling back FMLA usage. How are you doing the rollback? Does anyone have an automated
processing using Lawson Absence Management?

Prior to processing each pay period, we have a processflow that reads FMLA usage from the same pay period one year ago and writes corresponding LP70.1 reversing adjustment records, runs the LP140 to process them, runs the LP197 to post them, and sends an email to the Benefit Administrator notifying her of the updates.

When we run are LP140 during payroll it usually takes about 20-30 minutes to complete. How long does it take your processflow to complete( LP70, LP140 and LP197)? We usually run payroll on Monday except when their is a holiday or retiree payroll. Do you run into a problem running your processflow that might conflict with payroll?

We run a biweekly payroll. The pflow is scheduled to run every other week on the Thursday before a payroll. We chose Thursday, but it could be scheduled closer to the start of the PR, too. There has been no conflict. The LP140 that is running for this process is a Manual Only run with a Thru Date of a year ago. Therefore, all it is processing are these reversing entries so it runs much faster than a "normal" LP140.

So when you rollback the usage you are using the same date when the employee took the FMLA? If an employee took FMLA on 2/15/2012 the rollback date you are putting on LP70 is it 2/15/2012 or 02/15/2013? Are you rolling back each day of FMLA was taken or are you summing the hours for the pay period and enter one row in LP70?

First this functionality is on the list of future enhancements. There are various tools / ways to accomplish this but essentially you want to query the TaEmpTrans table and pull FMLA usage on the 1yr anniversary of that time being used as that is when the EE earns it back in their bank. You can develop a process to query this out and upload to LP70 as adjustments to your FMLA available balance effective dated the day the hours where used (+ one yr). Normally LP140 is run through either current day or Pay Period End but either way you can have the upcoming LP70's preloaded and they won't pull through until LP140 is run through that date. This is fairly pain free process until the functionality is in Infor/Lawson.

Yes, we date the reversing entry with the same date as the original transaction (with a description of something like "Rolling 12 month reversal"). This way the reversing transaction appears in lists with the original so that a list of transactions is easier to understand and verify, and so that LP140 and LP197 can be used with a one-year-ago date so that we are sure that running them with this date restricts the updates to just these FMLA reversals and doesn't conflict with any current payroll transactions.
