GENERIC BENEFIT / PAYROLL INTERFACE#

Step 1 - Define Lexicons in IMLNThe following lexicons are required for the UBEF to run, these are system provided; however#

we do advise to double check they are in your own database.

• X_INTERFACE_TYPE
• X_INTERFACE_LEVEL
• X_INF_VARIABLE_NAME

Step 2 - Define Interface Format in IDIF#

HL$BE_PENS_FILE is provided in the IDIF definitions screen as an example of a fixed format interface file.
