Fix number: 1579

Release Date:  01/19/07

Release Version:  11.4.3

Operating System affected:  ALL

Program: MANUPD.acu

New data conversion program: PRHSTUPD.acu

Function: Adjustments

Sub Function: Post 

Description:   This issue only effects users that have ODBC with access to some of the new fields in the Payroll history file. It has no effect on W-2's, mag media or any other reporting in Payroll.  There are two issues handled with this fix.

1. When an adjustment is posted, it is not moving data to the new fields in the Payroll history file.

2. In the history file three key fields (sort fields) were not updated during the conversion to 11.4. These are Employee type, Department # and Social security number. If the employee is on file, then data from the employee record will be used to update these fields during the data conversion. If the employee has been deleted, then the department is defaulted 000, the employee type is defaulted to X and the social security number is defaulted to 999-99-9999.

Data conversion:  The conversion utility will convert the KHISFL (Employee History file) records for all companies. If you have large history files the conversion can take a while. Run the conversion on the server if you can as this will shorten the time significantly. To run the data conversion do the following steps:

0. Verify that you have a recent back up of the PBS system.

1. Verify that every PBS user is out of Payroll and Check Reconciliation just before and during the conversion.

2. In Windows, Linux or UNIX navigate to the top-level PBS directory.

3. type: prhstupd and select the Enter key or in Windows double click on the prhstupd.bat batch.  The license screen will display. Select the Enter key. Then a window displays that indicates the record number being processed. The company number displays in the upper left corner.

4. When the program is finished, it will display "Update completed". You may view the PRHSTUPDxx.LOG file. It will have the number of converted records for each company.
