Converting existing user fields to the system

If your organization currently has user fields with data in a non-Infor system, you can convert this data into the Infor system using User Field Conversion (HR515).

Run User Field Conversion (HR515) to convert applicant, employee, or position user field information from a non-Infor system.

This program takes fields from a comma-separated value (CSV) file and updates the associated employee, applicant, or position files. Edits are performed as if the changes were made online.

Planning Considerations

  1. Determine the types of records you want to convert. Options are:

    • Applicant User fields

    • Employee User fields

    • Position User fields

      Note: Only one of these record types can be converted per conversion.

  2. If loading applicant or employee data, valid user fields must be set up in HR04. If loading position data, valid user fields must be set up in PA04. Effective dates and End dates are used when converting position user fields. If left blank, the user field data will be associated with the most recent position effective/end date.

  3. Determine if you want to update history.

  4. Before you run User Field Conversion (HR515), you define:

    • Company (HR00.1)

    • Employees (HR11.1)

    • Applicants (PA31.1) if you are converting applicant user fields

    • Positions (PA02.1) if you are converting position user fields

    • User Fields in HR Code Setup (HR04.1)

    • Position User Fields in User Field Setup (PA04.1) if you are converting position user fields. For more information on setting up position user fields, see the Infor Personnel Administration User Guide.

Verify Data

To verify that data exists, run the following reports:

  • Employee Listing (HR211)

    • Applicant Profile (PA231)

    • Position Listing (PA202)
