Interface to Lawson Applications

This section describes the interface of the Payroll with Lawson applications outside of Human Capital Management.

Payroll to Project and Activity Accounting

As Payroll incurs expenses, the expenses represent a commitment to an activity. When you select time records with an activity attached to them, Payroll creates commitments in the ACCOMMIT (UNIX/Windows) DBACMIT (IBMi) table.

When you close a payroll cycle, all accounting distributions associated with an activity are posted to the ACTRANS (UNIX/Windows) DBACATN (IBMi) table.

Payroll to General Ledger

Periodically, you post payroll information to the general ledger. When you post to the General Ledger application, all accounting distributions associated with that payroll cycle are created in the GLTRANS (UNIX/Windows) DBGLGLT (IBMi) table.

If you have general ledger commitments defined in General Ledger, Payroll will interface expense amounts to General Ledger.

Payroll to Accounts Payable

When you close a payroll cycle, the Payroll application can send payroll liability information such as benefit deductions, garnishments, and employment tax to the Accounts Payable application for payment.
