Benefit Purge (BN430)
Run Benefit Purge (BN430) to purge employee, COBRA participant, and retiree benefits and their deductions. Lawson recommends that you retain one year of benefit history.
Note: This program permanently deletes data. Before you run this
program, back up your data according to your organization's procedures. Before
you submit the report, carefully review the parameters.
Note: Before you submit the report, review the information you
want purged by selecting Report Only in the Update field.
BN430 offers you three ways to purge benefits. You can purge:
- all benefits, flex dollar records, employee deductions, and standard time records under a flex plan for a specified flex plan year.
- all non-flex benefit and deductions with a stop date that is equal to or earlier than a particular date.
- all non-flex benefit and deductions in effect on a particular date. Lawson strongly recommends caution when using this option. It is designed to purge test data and as a result will purge benefits even if payroll history exists.
