Some of our users are constantly needing to email or send files of purchase orders to other people. Normally what they do is print a copy of the PO to our printer then scan the copy to create a PDF or fax it to themselves so they get the confirmation email with a copy of the PO. This is a bit of a waste of paper and takes additional time to do. Is there a way to print to a Document Writer file rather than actually printing a paper copy each time on Lawson or do we need to buy a software...

In PO20 at the line level, I would like to change the position of tab 26 with tab 29. Tab 26 (_f225r0) and Tab 29 (f228r0) I go to PO20, go to the line and select 'tools', then 'personalization', then 'edit tab order'. I remove the number  '26' and '29' from each field. I type in 29 where 26 was and type in 26 where 29 was, but nothing changes on my view. What step am I missing, or is changing the order of the tabs something an end-user cannot do Entering the company first, then the accoun...

We are attempting to process a no charge item on a PO.  We have it set to cost option 2 on RQ10, but when we run PO100, we get an error that unit cost is required.  How do we get this to work We have PO100 set to process cost option 2 and 3.

When searching on a vendor in PO10, the name of the vendor displays when I Inquire, however I get a returned message saying that the Vendor is not Active. My AP department confirmed the vendor is active, so not sure why I'd be getting this message. Has anyone ever seen this before

The topic of Lawson's Clinical Bridge interfaces with Epic has come up a few times recently so I wanted to get feedback from other customers on it and what benefits you get from it. Today, we have a custom interface that updates item information for use in OpTime.  We don't get anything returned back from Epic related to items.  For Revenue and Patient Refunds, we have extracts built in Epic and then file transfer and import scripts to bring them to Lawson on a regular basis for processing.  Th...

Hello - I know this is not Lawson related, but I am in need of feedback. We are in the process of changing primary GPO's & along with that, EDI vendors. I would like to hear from anyone utilizing Contract Expert & what your experience has been using this tool. We understand that our primary GPO's contracts would be sent to the Buyers electronically - is this nothing more than a 832 file We consider our pricing in Lawson to be our 'bible' & we are not clear as to how Contract Expert can be a ben...

We recently received the ok to transmit GLN's for Bard for one of our facilities, however how we have the ED40 set up, it is not transmitting the GLN, but the location. The error from GHX is: Analysis: This order failed because the account number is not valid at GHX; it appears to be a MMIS system value: 2001 17043AFGO8000 I guess the question I have is should we have a different TPID for each Bard division for this to work, instead of GHX17043 in ED10 Or should the GLN be populated in the L...

I have a user that when using Search Catalog in Lawson RQC - can key in an item number, then click it to add to her shopping cart, no issues. However, if she keys in part of the item description, then chooses the item from the list to add to the cart, she gets an error saying the accounting unit is not associated.   Has anyone ever seen this before

Reaching out to see if anyone has a working system and business process for item substitutes.   Inventory Although Lawson has IC13 Substitute/Complementary items you can add, I have found it doesn't carry over to RQC yet so it isn't the best option.  The IC11 Replacement item is great, however there can only be one replacement and it must be the same stock UOM as the main Lawson number.  In the instance replacement item works, it's great but for other instances the item needs to be replaced on...

Does anyone have a MA540M file layout for Lawson 7.2

We are trying to map to and build an MA540 data file for interfacing invoices with Lawson S3 v8.1 apps.  We have been working with the specifications provided in the Lawson pmtg-uw.pdf : Document number PMTG-81UW-09 published in August 2005. The specifications in the documentation do not match the sample data files we have.  The files we have built are erroring out because data is not in the appropriate field locations. If anyone has successfully mapped and built an MA540 layout that works...

We're a large hospital system with three hospitals currently on Lawson 10.0 and three more by November. We currently are partnered with GHX for NuVia and CCX, using MedAssets as our GPO.   How do you all manage your contracts The expiring contracts part is easy because that's programmed in when you put a contract into Lawson but what happens when multiple new contract come out How would you create new PO25s and add all those items to the PO25.6    We get a lot of new contracts each day an...

Hello - Our health system has decided to change to a new primary GPO.  We currently have roughly 70k active Lawson numbers tied to one of 490 PO25 agreements under the now secondary GPO, & we are expecting at the very least that new PO25 agreements will be needed for the majority of items.  We also expect some vendor changes, UOM changes, etc. For mass loads, my current process is IC811/IC812/MS Addin for PO13 Adds/PO16/PO150.  I used to use the PO813 but changed to Addins.  I've talked to my ...
