Parklane System Integration

Modified on Sat, 20 Jul at 10:31 AM

The Parklane System is an occupational health and safety software. This functionality applies only to Ontario. It is designed to generate information that is based on changes in employees’ information or position during a specified period of time.

The next sections of the document describe how NAV should be configured to ensure collecting the proper information and generating a file that can be imported to the 3rd party.

NOTE: Any field, except Social Insurance Number/Social Security Number and Record Identifier may be left blank.

Setup Steps

For this integration to work the application consultants should ensure that the following are configured:

  • Change Log Setup
  • Integration Setup
  • HR Department
  • HR Position
  • HR Employee
  • Payroll Controls
  • Payroll Control Group

Change Log Setup

The changes in employees’ information and position are tracked through the Change Log.

Tables

The following tables need to be added to the Change Log:

ID Name of Table

5200

Employee

23020262

HR Position Ledger Entry

Table Fields

The report is checking for changes in specific fields per table. If some fields are selected and a field value is not configured, the system considers that no change has been done for that field. If All Fields are selected, the report checks for changes in all of the fields specified below.

Configuring the Integration Setup

The Parklane report needs additional setup to identify causes of inactivity codes and payroll controls. This is done by configuring this information in the Integration Setup.

  1. In the Search field, enter Integration Setup and choose the page from the drop-down list.
    The Integration Setup page displays.

  2. Expand the ON - Parklane FastTab.
  3. Provide values for the following fields:
    • Long Term Disability - choose the cause of inactivity code used to specify long term disability.
    • Maternity Leave - choose the cause of inactivity code used to specify maternity leave.
    • Earnings Payroll Ctrl. Grp - choose a payroll control group that contains the payroll controls used for calculating earnings on weekly basis for the purpose of reporting to Parklane.
  4. Click OK.

HR Position

The HR Position is configured as part of the normal configuration. Two fields have been added to support the integration to Parklane.

  • Default Start Time,
  • Default End Time.

Payroll Controls

The consultant(s) working on the integration need to configure payroll control(s) that calculate weekly salary amounts per type of pay to be used for the report. They should have G/L Post Type: Do not post to G/L.

The screenshots below show a sample Pay Control for weekly Pay Period.

Method Steps:

The payroll control needs to be able to calculate what the weekly salary would be based on the employee current pay structure or rate of pay. The Method steps need to ensure the calculation yields the right weekly value.

Payroll Control Group

The payroll controls as described in the section above should then be added to the Payroll Control Group to be used for Parklane and attached to the Integration Setup.

Creating a Report

  1. In the Search field, type Parklane Integration and select the page from the drop-down list.
    The Parklane Integration page displays.

  2. Open the Options FastTab. In the From Date field enter the start date; in the To Date field enter the end date.
  3. Apply other filters if applicable.
  4. Click OK to generate the Parklane file.
