Quote of the Issue
"In the end, everything is a gag."
-- Charlie Chaplin
Welcome to the latest issue of The LawsonGuru Letter, a free newsletter providing provocative commentary on issues important to the Lawson Software community.  The LawsonGuru Letter is published by--and is solely the opinion of--John Henley of Decision Analytics.

Salary Advance - Health System (Hire Date)
Our source of record is Landmark. We then interface to S3. In our healthcare system, we pay salary advances prior to employment. We had been doing that on 1099's but recent changes are requiring us to withhold income tax and employment FICA. Has anyone hired employees before they work in order to do this? How do you handle the Start Date of the employee - their hire date? Do you just keep track of the dates using the adjusted date of hire or a user field? Any input on wage advances for non-employees would be great. Read More...
Sending Multiple Emails (IPA)
I'm building my first IPA process and would greatly appreciate some help with one of my last hurdles. I'm reading in a file of records and iterating through those records. The records could be of type A, B, or C. At the end I want to send 1, 2, or 3 emails, depending on whether the number of records of each type (A, B, C) is greater than zero. For example, if all the records are of type A, only send email from node A. However if records of all types exist then send an email from all three email nodes. Read More...

Healthcare Providers Rethink Strategies to Embed Analytics In Workflow
Every healthcare stakeholder agrees that it's time for clinical data to get up and running. But just because everyone's behind an effort certainly doesn't make it easier.
