We're on Windows, Applications 9.0/MSP2, Environment 9.0.0.4 and MSCM 9.0.0.11 (upgraded to 9.0.0.12 in test only). We used to only do par counting for inventory. However, we've recently begun also doing cycle counting for our central sterile and operating room inventories. My question is how have others handled the restriction of Minimum Orders placed by vendors, when your requisitions are getting generated 'automatically' through the cycle counting process Thank you.

We are having a situation where our return value and credit value do not always match on PO64 and PO30. We are on 8.0.3.. Any help would be great...

Hi i've read over the PO User Guide a few times, and currently in our lawson system anyone can receive a PO and I want to limit it so that if its not your PO then you cant receive it and release it. Does anyone know how to do this I thought it would be in the PO setup like po0.1.1 on the receiving tab there is a box that says Allow Receive All and its a yes or no box. I flipped in to N in our test environment and was still able to receive a Po that wasnt mine. Any ideas Thanks in Ad...

Just wondering what everyone uses to manage their contracts from a supply contract to a service contract to a physician contract.  We have Contract Management which is where the majority of our contracts reside including all three types listed previously, but there are still quite a few supply contracts left in PO25 that our contracts team has been working to move to CM. I would like to know if there is another system that interfaces with Lawson that anyone uses or just your general thoughts on...

We had a stock item and a non-stock (set up erroneously) for the same item.  The non-stock has been inactivated in IC11, IC12, and PO13.3; however, when the stock item is loaded on PO25 for the contract, an error message of Item (non-stock) is found but inactive.  You cannot move forward with the stock item number on the contract.  Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hello - I have an item where the UOM was changed in IC11 from EA=1, BX=20 to BX=1 a few months ago.  However, a Crystal Report shows POVAGRMTLN.UOM_MULT as 20.  How is this possible We are on v10.0.5 in case that makes a difference.   I feel like I'm missing something really simple...thanks!

I would like to lot track 'N' type items on receipts only. There is a 'Serial Tracked' flag on IC11 but it seems to have no functionality. Is anyone doing this I do not get prompted on PO30 to add a serial number based on the IC11 setting regardless if the item is an 'N' or 'I' type. Thanks, Jeff

I have a user ordering an item in RQC. She is not choosing a requested delivery date, however after adding the item to the shopping cart, she checks the Lines tab to find the Requested Delivery Date is pre-populated with a date over 3 months in advance. IC12 shows a lead time of 110 days. Would the populated date in RQC be calculating the date from this field

Greetings, We were handling AOC additions using the AP20 series expense add functions. Inevitably, I steered us towards the MA41.7 (AOC Approval Entry), using MA08 Invoice AOC codes.  I figured it was a more fluid and natural logic for most Procure-to-Pay cycles.  There are a few kinks I haven't been able to work to our best interest.  It doesn't appear I can make an AOC utilizing Activity's.  Is there any way around this  Or am I stuck only utilizing AOC codes on an AU/ACCT basis only H...

If P is selected as the Issue Method in the PO20 Header, how can you make it print automatically to an external network printer Where is that set up This printer is not in LID prtdef. My user is telling me that her PO's that she sets up with 'P' as the issue method are automatically printing and now she needs to change to a different printer.

I am trying to upload to PO21.3 and could not remember how to find the hidden required keys. I opened a web chat and was told by Lawson that you can't upload to hidden keys - that procurement group isn't required to upload to PO20. I searched the knowledge base and found that it's ctrlalta (I was using shift not alt) - I sent the article, she said it was new information to her. I then figured out that it wanted the 14 character PO number and got the familiar 'Must inquire before using t...

Has anyone devolped a good method to prevent duplicate nonstock orders   We are trying to determine a good way to keep items from being ordered if they are already on order. Two means of ordering are 1.  Pyxis stations, which will kick out another order if the item has not been filled in a certain amount of days. And 2. handheld orders, the handheld ordering of nonstock is tricky as it could take up to 2 weeks to receive product in, in the meantime the item gets ordered again by different st...

Good afternoon, I am trying to create a query in Access to look at closed cost messages to include the comments from 'Has Comments' field. What table can I find the comment info Thank you Paul

Is any one currently running Lawson to create requisitions for a Just in time Hospital We are a 300 bed hospital converting to Lawson and I was just trying to get a handle on how the application handles requisitions for stock items (I) that need to be routed directly to the vendor. Is there a flag on the template to force an (I) item to an (N) item Thank you Confused in PA

Does anyone currently use Lawson RQC and Procurement with Food Services We are bringing on our Food Services department and our pricing fluctuates with our Food Services vendor. We are using EDI to transmit our orders. However the invoice pricing is different than the PO pricing and what is in PO25 because the price is constantly fluctuating. Any suggestions on automating the pricing updates Thanks for your help.

These PO's are showing a status of Released and have 2016 dates.  PO190 has been run for month end close, however ME close has only been a regular process for less than a year.    Some of the release PO's were able to be cancelled or deleted. Others are not responding to those two options.    How can we get these POs closed

Can anyone please tell me if Lawson has functionality to place minimum order requirements by vendor For example, if a user enters an order for a particular vendor, does Lawson provide a message to let the user know that the order does not meet minimum order requirements Also, would all Lawson software version have this functionality Please help

If the RQ500 is set to 'R' for Release All, why would requisitions come over to RQ10 in an UNreleased status with Lines

We are creating new locations in RQ01 and updating RQ04 records. I understand that any open reqs that have not been fully processed will need to be handled prior to the old locations being inactivated, otherwise, we will receive edits/issues messages.   My question is, where would the edits/issues messages appear

This happened in our Prod environment a few months ago. We found that the IE version was an ongoing issue. There was a box under Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tabs for Enable XMLHHTP Support that needed to be checked. Forms then began to once again pull information when using the Inquire function. Our users have since upgraded to IE 11 and have moved to a 64bit Windows OS. Now in Test, PO20 is doing the same thing, but the XMLHPPT Enable Support box is checked. Has anyone else had this pr...

We wrote the sql query below to pull non-stock item usage but it takes a long time to run. We added the sql to a Crystal Report and published it to our LBI dashboard for our Purchasing department to use. Is there a way to speed up this query     select pli.company, pli.po_number, pli.po_release, pli.po_code, pli.vendor, pli.line_nbr as line_nbr,  pcr.tot_order_amt, pcr.dropship_fl, pcr.open_po_amt, pcr.term_code, mmd.acct_unit, mmd.account, mmd.sub_acct, mmd.dist_com...

Hello - How do you make the Procedure tab visible in PO10.1 & PO10.2  I've been through PO01 & I have PO01.5 but cannot see where to make this tab visible.  Thanks.

We are currently running on v9 of Lawson and are in the process of upgrading to v10 in the Cloud.  We've tested EDI orders with three vendors and only one has worked correctly with no issues.  The second one is a mapping change on the vendor's end.  The third we are waiting to hear back but they received the PO on their server, but not into their system and they are trying to determine why. Did anyone else encounter issues, not necessarily the PO's getting to GHX (we've had zero issues with tha...

I have a user that created 3 reqs under the wrong ID. The director wants the ID to be inactivated, but I'm not able to because the 3 reqs are associated to that id. Is it possible to delete a requisition once it's been created
