Any client that wishes to implement an integration other than the pre-defined standard model will need to add to their project team either their own development resources or consulting resources to define and custom-code their changes to the standard model at their own expense. Databasics and Lawson resources can be used at the respective parties consulting rates to support any changes to the standard model.
The Lawson Databasics interface was designed so that Lawson could provide a full solution. With that in mind, it was decided that a full solution included at minimum the Lawson HR and Financial Suites. Therefore,
DATABASICS Time- requires Lawson General Ledger, Payroll and Activity Management.
DATABASICS Expense - requires Lawson General Ledger, Payroll, Activity Management, and Accounts Payable.
The data extraction/flow from Lawson into Databasics includes Employee information, Pay codes, and optionally Leave Balances. If a client does not purchase the Lawson HR Suite they can enter this data directly into Databasics.
The data load from Databasics into Lawson in 8.x was designed so that the data from Databasics would be passed to the ACBBTRANS file and be processed in the AC542 program where the processing logic accesses Payroll to get wage information and standard costs. If the client does not purchase the HR Suite they would need to setup AC Resources and load them into Databasics; then the data passed from Databasics would need to go into the ACTRANSREL file to be processed in program AC540. AC540 validates resource information and uses standard costs maintained in AC.
