Timing of LP197

tevers

We are currently running the LP197 second to last in our payroll process before we run the PR197

 

We are looking at putting the PTO balance and CA sick balance on our paycheck stub (MHC) and on our ESS printable stub.  In order for us to do this,  the information has to be available to pull from which means we would need to run the LP197 right after the LP140 and before we run the PR160.  Does anyone else do it this way and have you had issues with running this program earlier in the payroll process?

 

We were just always told from our Lawson consultants years ago when we converted to Lawson to run the LP197 at the end of the payroll process.

You don't need to run LP197 before PR160 in order for balances to appear in the PMTOUT file. Prior to the ESS enhancement to the printable stub, we ran it after PR198 but now we run it just prior to PR197 so they appear correct in ESS as soon as the PR197 is closed and employees can see their payments.
