ePayroll and Human Resources for Navision Attain unravels the myth on outsourcing, once believed to be a great time and money saver. During payroll processing, for example, your payroll staff performs the bulk of the work whether you outsource the calculations or not. Source data input is the major time consumer during payroll runs, while the time your payroll vendor spends on calculations is minor in comparison. Using ePayroll and Human Resources for Navision, data entry and calculations are completed in-house, lowering your overall cost per transaction and saving you the minimum or basic processing fees your vendor charges.

Internet technologies have also brought about dramatic changes in HRMS. The Internet has given human resource and payroll departments new opportunities to communicate directly with employees and interact with them online. The Web-based, user-friendly Employee and Manager Self Service portals available in Navision Attain allow the Human Resources department and employees throughout the company to share information easily. Online communications help you streamline processes and improve labor productivity.

Problems and Fixes

P... When trying to run the function Undo Receipt from a Posted Receipt I receive the following error:

You would receive a similar error when trying to run the function Undo Shipment from a Posted Shipment, Undo Return Receipt from a Posted Return Receipt, and the Undo Return Shipment from a Posted Return Shipment.

F...The Undo Purchase Receipt Line, Undo Shipment Line, Undo Return Shipment Line, and Undo Return Receipt Line Codeunits should have be included in granule 4,010 Basic Inventory, but was not.

This has now been fixed so if you receive a new 3.60 license these codeunits will be included, but if you received your client's 3.60 license before January 8th. You will need to have the license updated and the Undo Codeunits will automatically be included.
