Bonus approvals and payouts

Is anyone willing to share how they submit, approve and process bonus payments in Infor/Lawson?

We currently have a custom process where a manager initiates a bonus personnel action in MSS which triggers a process flow for approval.
Then we have a custom process that queries personnel action history for those approved bonuses that creates the time record for payroll to process.
We are experiencing some challenges with this process and are curious what other clients do?

We created a process flow and grants rights to certain users to "enter" bonus payments. The process flow uses the HRSUPER table to route approvals. Once approvals are complete, the process flow creates a PR35 entry which runs through regular payroll. Our comp team only gets involved if the item rejects for some reason (rare) and they do quarterly audits on usage. We are able to control the paycodes they can use and have even set limits by job code and amount for certain codes.

Where is the bonus data stored when it is entered (prior to the final approval flow approval and the update to PR35)?

We built a table that stores the information on the employee to be paid and any comments added along the way from the approvers. The actual actions are stored in the process flow, but the detail such as EE#, Dept #, Paycode, amount, etc are stored on the custom table so we can run reports and queries from the data. This table also helps us determine if the item being entered is a duplicate-because we can compare it to data in the table.

How do you handle signon bonuses? Our signon bonuses are initially entered in our applicant tracking system but we don't have an employee ID there to create a Lawson transaction in an automated fashion...

We also enter signon bonus amounts in our RMS and we wrote an interface that takes the applicant and offer information and creates the applicant record, the Hire Action and the PR35 transaction for the signon bonus. Among other things.
