We want to use Crystal reporting with MSCM outside of the canned reports. Does anybody out there have a listing of the table structure for MSCM or instruct me on how to obtain them Thanks

We upgraded EDI and the very next minute, Fax integrator stop sending email notifications to the buyers. I honestly don't see how these 2 products could be related but then again with Lawson, you never know. I looked in the ios.log and also fax integrator log and saw nothing or no errors. 6/24/2016 11:53:09 AM : l_TRACE : FaxStatus.normalizeStatus 6/24/2016 11:53:09 AM : l_TRACE : Fax Status for 1510907-0000--000 : COMPLETED NONE 6/24/2016 11:53:09 AM : l_TRACE : Retries: 0 Fax...

Is anyone willing to share their MA00 Match settings and the theory/policy behind them

Greetings, I have a scenario where two of the same item exists within a PO25 contract.  I cant speak to how it occurred, however it seems to have persisted within the system for several years.  My guess is someone added a new PO13 record on the item w/ a different Vendor pn.  Then added that variant on PO25. Eventually a PO13 'Replace and Inactivate' was done which made both records duplicated.  Someone then removed the hold (before or after the R&I, cant be sure which).  At the moment, I c...

When Special Item Validation is set to Warn or Deny can the message users see when they try to order an item that's already in the IM be edited or changed  Below are the standard messages.  We'd like to change the word Deny to Notice but not sure if that's possible.   Warn - Users are warned that the special item already exists in the item catalog, but you have the option to add the item from the catalog instead.   Deny - Users cannot add a special item because it already exists in the ...

Hello    An RQ is showing as unreleased status and won't appear in Gatekeeper 250 for PO conversion,    Is there a way to manually push it through

We've recently set up a new inventory location and loaded some items to that location only.  We only have one company and one item group.  Our original thinking was that when in RQC the requestor would need to change the From location in order to request these items.  We're finding that they can order them from any of our inventory locations.  We would like to set it to where the location has to be changed in order for the requestor to see these items.  Is that possible

Is there a way to allow a stock item to be ordered, received, but not show up in RQC  We have an extended backorder on an item and want the stock to accumulate until we have enough to distribute consistently but don't want requestors to be allowed to order.  Has anyone ever done that before

Looking to see what others are doing with their OR and MSCM.  They're currently not perpetual and we use Epic.  We have plans to use the interface to decrement quantities and make them perpetual but we're not there yet.  We'd like to get to them to utilize the handhelds in some way.  What are others doing with MSCM and their OR to help with their workflow  Is POU an option

Hello, Lawson Version 10.0.5 Does Lawson offer the functionality to generate a PO past due report Is this something that can be queried using Excel Add-Ins Thank you, John

Why would the value for SOH in the ITEMLOC table differ from the SOHDETAIL SOH value

Hello - We are long overdue for a purge/archive of Lawson data.  We have open PO lines from years ago that lack for a better way to put it, we just want to go away.  No resources available for research/paint screens.  Does anyone have a retention policy in place - similar to what we all have for paper records  Are there 3rd party solutions available (at a cost of course) for assistance & maintenance  Is anyone using PO300 routinely for purging  We only use PO300 for Vendor Agreements at this ...

Hi,   I'm trying to clean up RNI and back out receiving--anyone have an upload for PO33 they wouldn't mind sharing   Thanks!

We have a few items that we're currently tracking serials numbers for.  What would be the steps to change so that those items are no longer tracked.  They have PO history and transactions.  Would the best way be to inactivate that Lawson number and start fresh

Asking for support of ER 13251 with your vote!   Description: Looking for a report that could provide the vendor contract and unit cost of an item using the logic in the PO process - which factors in vendor agreement participant and vendor agreement priority. This information is needed to help determine pricing for a particular location on a large scale for reporting and helps to evaluate our pricing index.   Work Around: Currently, we pull a full item/contract listing and try to match the...

Hello all, We currently purchase some items from GPO contracts and have them loaded as such. However, if we purchase from a certain vendor, we get an additional discount...4.6 cost minus. How can Lawson handle the additional discount automatically Thank you pglibra

Would any of you be willing to share some general guidelines on the security setup of the Supply Chain Analyst team in Lawson, especially for Healthcare organizations  Does that group have full access to PO IC & WH, or is that add/change/delete limited to just the owners of those areas Also, is your Supply Chain Analyst team its own team, or are they considered part of Purchasing/Inventory/Receiving

In preparation for running PO300 to archive Purchase Orders I ran a query for a particular year that shows the value of the close flag and close date.  I noticed that in several of the records the Header Close flag is set to 'N' , and the close date field has an actual close date.  Also, there are lines for the PO that are still opened.  I would have thought that there would not be a close date if the close flag is N.  Any thoughts   Thank you.

We just upgraded to V10 over the weekend.  Senior management wants to be able to see the approval history for a req.  The history tab looks like this and you have to click on each row to see who approved. Can this view be modified to include the approver's name

I'm looking for an informal poll on Month End budget reporting:  What is everyone using  We've been using a custom Cobol program that went through a conversion to v10 and are now looking to possibly replace/refine.   The reporting in Lawson seems to be by module.  I don't know of anything that puts it all in one report other than MM280 which is confusing to read.  How do y'all report what you've spent each month

Does any one know of a way to see how a return was modified and who modified it We have some audit capabilities but it doesn't appear to cover returns. We have a return that was closed and am trying to find out how it closed.

Hi All - We don't short pay any invoices and we're trying to find a way to track when credits need to be collected. Currently we process MA64 PO Cost messages as an 'adjust' regardless of if we're approving or changing the unit cost. Anyone know how we can track when we should be collecting a credit. What is your policy for processing buyers messages.

Looking to see what is best practice for determining lead time for items on order.  We would like to develop a report that provides accurate lead times for our requestors.  I'm sure there are folks way ahead of us on this so wanted to see what you're doing and how you're doing it.  As always thanks in advance for your helpful responses!
