I'm curious to see what others are doing to create their item descriptions.  We're currently using Nuvia as the source of truth for these but we're finding that a small percentage are wrong and that a much higher percentage they recommend are duplicate descriptions.  I'd love to hear what others have done to standardize their descriptions in the item master.

I am currently supporting a hospital whose buyer staff manage PO's beginning with PO23. It was always my understanding that PO100 runs to pull the reqs into PO23. If parms are set to not auto release, the buyer would go to PO23, inspect and release from there to PO20. They filtered their orders by the requesting location but nothing came up in PO23. A day later, they filtered and they were able to pull them up in PO23 when they filtered the order by the requisition number. They are tellin...

My user wants to be able to run her MA540 and choose the company she wants to run, but from what Infor tells me, there needs to be a custom script written to handle this. Has anyone or is anyone doing this now

Has anyone integrated PO faxing and emailing via Rightfax  If so how expensive was it to build the integration and how long did it take to build and implement  Are there additional components needed I can setup Fax Integrator in a day; however, our corporation want's to use out enterprise fax solution which his Rightfax.   My concern is replicating all the integration already built in Fax Integrator.

How can a MSCM label be modified to add a field

This is probably one of those slap your forehead, why didn't I think about that issues.  How are PO Numbers used within Lawson and why does it seem like PO Numbers are being skipped  Many years ago they created a PO Number scheme that assigned location A to all POs in the 70000000 range and location B all POs in the 80000000 range. Well, we are now at around 79100000 and are trying to figure out how long before we hit 80000000. We process about 500 POs per day yet the numbers are disappearing...

Is there a pre-defined report for getting the number of replenishment lines for a company for a particular vendor or should I just write the query Any suggested tables I should use/ link I wish there was a manual for Lawson 10.

Getting this error when MA531 runs on inventory POs.  But it's hit and miss, doesn't happen on every inventory PO and when it does happen it's always on the last line of the PO.  I can't see any difference in the detail for that line and any of the other lines- that is, nothing seems to be missing.

We are working on a standardized process when responding to MA64 messages and I am looking for your input. Currently when we process a MA64 we change the PO price to match the invoice on PO20.1, than on MA66.3 we select “Accept” for PO Unit Cost and Reason Code “PPAI”. Although sometimes we are unable to change the PO price we still select the Accept and PPAI.   Recently we have been informed by our Accounts Payable department that we are completing our message incorrectly when we are unable...

How does one handle an item that has two different vendor item numbers for the same vendor   Examples:   Cook Medical, Dilator, the Catalog Nbr is G01471, but the Product Nbr is JCD20.0-38-20. Boston Scient, Stent, the Catalog Nbr is 38937-1225, but the Product Nbr is H7493893712250. From a Purchasing standpoint, the item is ordered via the Catalog Nbr. From a Nursing standpoint, the item is searched for via the Product Nbr. I've been adding the second number the the Desc3 field, but tha...

Since moving to the cloud in April, we are having an intermittent issue where an approver gets an error and can't approve a requisition.  It says error calling Gettrav service, an unknown error occurred. This happens only on 'special' requisitions, but not on all special requisitions.  An approver may have 8 requisitions from the same requestor and will be able to approve 7 of the 8, but one will give them the error.  Other times they might have 10 and 5 of them will get the error.  The requisi...

On v10, we use FC: V (Archive) on PO20 to clear RNI for Inventory as routine.  When we were looking at the IC220 report, we noticed that it was reporting it wrong.   if you have 100 and archive 50, on IC50, it correctly shows your SOH After Image as 50.  On IC220, it showed it as 150.  Any transaction that happened later immediately had the correct Before Image of 50 and the GL and IC50 were correct.  So we didn't see it until we started pushing the IC220 to others and they reported a problem ...

Is there a canned report that shows all open requisitions that have not been released to PO23   We ran a query for all reqs (specified date), with a status of '9', but there are reqs in the data that are showing closed in Lawson.

We have a director who made the decision to create multiple companies so that she could report on transactions per company. The ED40 records were not set up correctly to capture the additional companies and as a result, the 810 records were not parsed out, leaving Finance to manually enter in the other company invoices.   Now, they are asking if they should move back to one company since all of the po's under each company are charged back to one bank account number.   What is the reason f...

I have not done blanket PO's and am looking to utilize it.  Is it possible to have a requisition created via RQC/Requisition Center reference the Blanket agreement

We cannot release requisitions in RQC when we populate the PO Code field. The Release tab is grayed out. We use IPA for requisition approval. We need to know what is causing this issue and how to correct it. We can release the requisition in RQ10 if we remove the PO Code. Not sure how the PO code is impacting the requisition.

How can I report on Buyer PO holds. Thanks you in advance.

Hello All,   I've been tasked with creating upload wizards to try to mass close old service PO's. I was given the steps below:   1. cancel remaining lines 2. change issue method to D (do not print) 3. change revision to N 4. release PO 5.issue final   My question is whether the issue final is required since I am assigning 'Do No Print' as the issue method prior to releasing the PO and in my research I've read that Issue final is generally used for other issue methods.   Does anyone h...

I found the 'WH Backord Line' Service and I went down the IPA road.     Two weeks with support and ... evidently WH110 Batch Allocation only triggers for OE back orders.  We use RQ to order from our warehouse.  Warehouse wants to notify users immediately, if there is an item back order.   We use Smart Notes for Kill notification, but I really dislike Smart Notes and want to notify users ASAP.   Any thoughts on best method for immediate-ish, notification of back orders from requisitions   ...

Good afternoon,   I am newer here to the forum and also to the informatics role in Lawson.  I am learning mainly by other internal employees with Lawson experience.   I am also looking to find other guides and references that help with understanding Lawson procurement and different interactions between the modules.  I really don't see much out there other than the documentation infor has provided.  I'm looking for something more intuitive.   Any recommendations   Thank you!

Does anyone know if there is a report or a query that will show all of the invoices (including invoice number, amount and date processed) that have been processed against a PO in PO 20     Any help is appreciated.

Good Afternoon all,   We are getting ready to start our upgrade from 9 to 10 and as part of that I am trying to do some general system cleanup.  One of the areas where we have let slide in the past is cleaning up old open Vendor Returns.  My question to all of you is what is the best way to close out returns where we were credited less then the value of the returned goods due to a restocking fee or some other issue.  These are already at the Waiting for Vendor action stage so I can't edit the...

How can I find a complete list of all Supply Chain tables

Problem:   In MSCM, when receiving a PO and printing a delivery ticket, it appears that MSCM determines which printer to use based on the requesting location for that PO.    Current Process:   Currently at our hospital, we have three people receiving at the same time, and they are not able to sort and group the packages by location before receiving them. In other words, all three receivers are receiving POs from many different locations. Currently they are running a PO30 from an actual com...

Is the From Company and From location (required) on the Detail profile tab your ship to information Now that we are on v10, when creating a req, the company you have on your basic tab, is not an available choice on your Detail profile tab. Infor has explained that this is due to how the tables index with each other, so the end user will have to manually key in the information on the detail profile tab. Is the company and from location the ship to information The office manager is direct...
