Monthly accrual processing

unknown

We are a new customer working on converting our payroll system over to Lawson (v10). We are starting to look into setting up our monthly payroll accrual processing in the Lawson system.

One of the issues that we're running into is that we currently do our payroll accrual processing on the 2nd working day of the month, so that General Ledger is updated by the morning of the 3rd working day. However, we were only planning to load time records into Lawson once a week (i.e., on Tuesday afternoon for the previous week's payroll), so that our users could continue to make changes to them within our production time-keeping system during the week until they are loaded to Payroll. In order to get accurate accrual amounts for our plant employees, it looks like we would need to load time records to Payroll on the 2nd working day of the month, then delete them out and reload them once the final payroll is ready to be loaded. We were thinking we might need to do the accrual process in our separate Test environment, so as not to interfere with the current week's payroll processing. Does anyone else use a similar process? Any thoughts or ideas on how best to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Fameree
