RE: Payroll Training Resources

[Barb Nash <Barb.Nash@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's almost as if the manual assumes you already understand how MAPICS
Payroll works, and only need it for reference on how to run reports, get
through the screens....  Too bad the logic manuals are history, that's the
kind of book I'm looking for.

I hear what you are saying and our company is similiar regarding training/
consulting.

We used the MAPICS manual many years ago.  I haven't looked at the latest
manual, but I found that if you know payroll and the modules requirements,
the manual is pretty good.  The only real snag or difficultly we had was
automatic OT calculations which really was a management issue and not a
module confusion.  Of course, it really helped me a lot that I had a good
payroll person.

Thanks Ed,
        It probably will come to that, and that IT person would be me.
Management was looking for some sort of (cheap :)) self educating book or
online class in order to save a buck, which in the long run usually ends up
costing more than your suggestion!  Unfortunately, formal training is a
rarity here....

Barb,
We were lucky enough to have a consultant in house that was very well-versed
in MAPICS P/R and was also a good trainer when we went to MAPICS P/R. I'm
sure that there are other people affiliated with MAPICS in your area,
perhaps they can do some of the training.  Someone in house will probably
need to become familiar with the app from an I.S. perspective. Could that
person train your users?

We are considering converting our payroll to MAPICS and are wondering what
sort of training books, online classes... are available.  What is the best
way
to learn all the features, setup, year end... on a limited budget.  I have
checked out the User Guide, but it does not provide much detail.

Thanks in advance,
Barb
