We're running LFI 9.0.0.2171 on a Windows XP machine sitting in our fax room. Occasionally, and recently more often, the application just crashes for no apparent reason. The log shows nothing. Sometimes it's not discovered until the next day resulting in delayed deliveries and some angry docs. Is there anyone that knows how to write a script that can monitor whether a program is running and if not shoot an email out to someone to notify them Or better yet, a script that will launch LFI if it...

Anyone have any insight into what changes in the Infor version 10 Fax Integrator I don't want to go through a lengthy testing and install process just to have nothing change but the logo. -Greg

I've created an informational survey looking at industry, occupation, geography, education and salary for users of Infor Lawson applications. The survey is completely anonymous. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9T3XXST The survey will be available for 30 days and I will post the results afterward.

In Contract Management, is there any kind of manual or automatic synchronization that is set up between CM and LSF application databases  If so where is that documented I can't find or see anything relating to synchronization in the guide named 'Infor Lawson Supply Chain Management Applications, built with Landmark Installation Guide' Any one have any idea how the synchronization works or is set up Thank you, Roger

Prior to the invention of PO13.3 when we added lines to PO25.6 with function code B - Lawson would populate the manufacturer information from IC11 into PO13. Apparently this stopped at some point and manufacturer codes and part numbers now appear as blanks in a tremendous number of our searches (Item by PO Vendor on PO20 being the largest concern.) Is anyone uploading with this mapped successfully from PO25.6 Are you populating PO13 directly  Is this just a bug on my database

Hi - Does anyone know how to enter serial number ranges into inventory instead of one serial number at a time I couldn't get PO39. to do that, is there another form or a program

Any invoice arriving via EDI receives our company level handling code default of 1.  However, drop ship invoices require a handling code of 4, which means all drop ship EDI invoices currently error out when trying to match.  I've read that we can set a vendor level handling code default, which would over ride our company default for that vendor.   However, this would only solve the problem if all shipments from the specified vendor came as drop ship, which isn't the case.   How have you handled ...

We have had instances where the vendor sends multiple invoices per PO line, when only 1(qty) is ordered. The vendor breaks down the '1' and then invoices us for the breakdown, giving us multiple invoices per line/qty of 1. Other than to keep changing the PO line (qty, dollar amount etc.) is anyone doing anything different *Should Lawson accept more than one invoice per line (when qty ordered is one, but vendor sends more than once invoice)

Is there a screen or an alternative to find prior months ending inventory balance for an Item at a company location.   Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to sort the listing of agreements in PO28 where the agreements not on hold or expired appear at the top of the list  Thanks,  Metrazal

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of categories, category descriptions with relevant UNSPEC codes to forward please Also, can anyone forward me a comprehensive list of supplier vetting questionnaires to upload onto the supplier registration portals please I work within the Healthcare sector in Qatar.

We are writing some reports on PO Line data out of our 9.0.1 S3 Procurement application and have run into a bit of a snag.  The issue I have run into is if we partially cancel a PO line that had multiple quantity or amount distributions.  Is there anywhere in the database where it states which distributions got cancelled For example you order 20 of an item at $10 Each.  Using the Mult button, this line is split between 10 at Acct Unit 1 and 10 at Acct Unit 2.  7 are received, and the rest of...

Is it possible to set up a vendor agreement line with a max order qty, that when met, the order will not EDI  For example a vendor states that they have x amount of product left to purchase, so this item would be placed on this contract and count up or down as each order is placed, and when the x amount has been purchased all other orders will not EDI.

Hello - We are new to PriceGuide & need to submit a 12 month data set.  They are recommending I use PO253 & PO254, & I have not used either of these jobs before.  Would anyone be willing to share some screenshots Thanks in advance, Beth

Hi! Is there a way to approve invoices that are a result of blanket POs  Is there a way to request a blanket PO in Lawson, i.e., RQ10 for regular POs

I wanted to see how everyone else determines what/how to create the short names for Lawson S3 with the 30 character limit.  As we all know, medical product names can be quite long.  Is there one standard that has been found to be better than other in the naming convention  I am looking for input on how everyone else is doing it.

Very new to Lawson Short question, pulling My Reports / Procurement / Vendor Spend... can you pull multiple vendors  Company trainer does not think so but maybe someone knows a trick or two

Does anyone have a list of buyer's skill set that they developed prior to a S3 implementation  I'm looking to understand what skills will be critical to a buyer's future success working in S3 - Procurement.

Looking for any processes or procedures anyone has in place to ensure they do not issue contracts, POs, checks, etc. to vendors who are on a federal or state debarred list from Infor/Lawson.  This is an example of the federal list:  http://www.gsaig.gov/index.cfm/susp...-by-state/  Anyone use any web services  Extract data, send it to a vendor, get it back with debarred vendors noted, load it back into Lawson, then what Thanks in advance.  Paul Hogrefe - City of Saint Paul ERP Technology...

We have an issue where we have to issue purchase orders to a certain company (we have seperate EDI 's) but when the invoices come through MA540 the remit to is a different company with several divisions. For example, we buy from Codman, Depuy, Ethicon, etc but when the invoices come through MA540 the remit to is Johnson and Johnson so the match errors our and the purchasing agents have to go change the PO vendor to Johnson and Johnson so the invoice from EDI can match. What would Lawson bes...

On the BUYER table in our Production system the Operator ID field contains the users Portal Login ID. It is displayed as 'LSFPROD\pickering' in PO04, but stored as 'NT000002bc' (We are on Windows platform). On our Development system, in PO04, it is displayed at 'LSFDEV/pickering', but stored as 'NT00000154'. My understanding is the NT is assigned when the user is created on the server. The problem occurs when we refresh from Production ----> Test, the value stored (the NT ) in test is now ...

Hello, Does anyone use the RQ500 Interface in Lawson I am hoping someone is willing to share a file sample. Thanks!

We are exploring implementing Lawson 10 and I was wondering if the Lawson 10 tables are listed anywhere like they are for 9, 8 etc on this site under the tech sections.  Thanks for your help.

We have discovered an issue with our PO135 process. We have a large number of old POs (some dating back to 2003) that are on our PO135 and the receipts are causing an accrual issue. In researching, we found that this started occurring in 2011 after we completed our upgrade from Lawson 8.0 to 9.0. During the upgrade process, in order to cut down on the size of files, a large number of AP files were archived. Also, as a part of our accrual or anti-accrual process, depending on how you look at i...
