Does anyone have a good process for defining substitute items in Lawson There are ways to define multiple Vendor Item Numbers in PO13.3, but there is no place to define a conversion for each Part number. Our buyers need to be able to switch between part numbers for a Lawson number in PO20 without someone having to manually change conversions in IC11. ANY help would be appreciated, since we're trying to streamline our substitution process. Greg

I have an annual Hurricane Order that we end up having to accept several thousand lines in a day without an 856.  Every year, I try to map a PO30 and then at about the 2 hour mark give up and manually go through and add them. Will PO529 do this

I have a Processflow that is triggered based on a user action. When this particular flow is triggered, I get the following error when it is trying to do an add via an AGS into PO23. Here is the error message: AGS error: Must Inquire before using this function code when an ags call is triggered from PO23. How can I fix it

I am in the process of creating a new warehouse. I have a few questions for those of you that manage multiple hospitals. Do you share a single item master, vendor group, etc between hospitals or did you create separate companies for each hospital If you created separate companies, how do consolidate your GL

Our pharmacy procurement system functions completely outside of Lawson, so currently we have an AP clerk hand keying all of the pharmacy invoices into Lawson daily. I have been asked to find a way to do match these invoices through the Lawson EDI process with GHX.  We turned on the 810s for this account number, and the invoices have been coming in.  The only problem is that when the invoice is created via MA540,. distribution information is not populated, since there is no way to default a ...

We added a second company to AP, GL, PO, IC, RQ.  In adding the second company to RQ, requestors can now select accounting unit/accounts for both companies. How are people limiting requestors to a single company.  Is there a way in RQ or do we use the GL system restrictions

Can the standard fax document be modified  There are a few elements I would like to change but I don't know where the template is stored.

Our organization uses EDI with a fairly small number of vendors.  Fax is more prevalent, but we would like to use EDI more.  We do not use GHX.  It seems that Lawson's Trading Partner list is awfully short.  Grainger is one company that we'd like to start with, but they are not on that list.  We are also working with a consultant to work through some procurement issues, and he threw doubt on whether this could be set up.  I'm surprised that Lawson has made no addition for a big supplier like Gra...

We are having an issue sending faxes to Grainger. The fax server says there is no answer for each try but when I turned on the modem speaker and listened, I could hear the modem attempting the handshake but eventually it just failed to connect and I just heard the dial tone. Sending the fax to the same number using our manual fax machine works just fine. Any ideas

We use processflow for requisition approval. We need a way for approvers (i.e. users) to add a proxy approver while they are out of office, without giving the users access to LOGAN tables used in ProcessFlow Admin Tools. We do not want the users to have direct access to ProcessFlow Admin Tools, and we do not want our IT dept. handling proxy approver updates in ProcessFlow Admin Tools. Has anyone created such a process that ProcessFlow can route requisitions to a proxy user Thanks for...

Beginning the EProcurement setup for SciQuest.  This poses a different setup scenario than our other partner.  For SciQuest, we can order supplies from multiple vendors thru one website.  My question is related to the setup in rqc_config.xml and in the ED programs.  In particular, if we can order from 20 different vendors thru SciQuest, do I need to set up 20 templates (ED45)

I want to add ship-to code to MA236 INR report  but i didn't get a way to do this. I thought to do this using CUSTORDER table but its index field “ORDER-NBR” is also not available. Is there a way to get “SHIP-TO” code in this report Or  is there any relation between field “SHIP-TO” and table POLINE. Thanks

We are at 9.0 env & 8.0.3 apps. I have a few users that complain about  the performance on PO20 & PO23 forms on the portal a lot. They keep getting 'Status 500: The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fullfilling the request'. This happens when they do data-entry on these forms. Usually they hit the cancel button, type their id & pw and try it again. Some times they are able to get in; some times they can't. Any thoughts about how to fix this error ...

To all, Forgive me, but I am not an EDI person nor have I been trained on the Lawson EDI product. I recently upgraded my DEV environment, removing MKS Toolkit and installing Lawson Unix Utilities.  Here are some further system details: Windows Server 2008 - Enterprise - 64-bit Lawson Environment 9.0.1.9 Lawson S3 Applications 9.0.1.7 Lawson EDI 9.0.1.5 At this point, I am trying to test EDI.  I've verified that the Comm Server and Mail Agent are starting and I can execute ED330 wi...

A user has a PO in PO20, and they are doing the action of Issue Final on it to print it.  When this action is taken, the following error message is received:  'Message Not found (    /108).'  Has anyone else seen this before  The version of our applications is 9.0.1 MSP 4.

The client I am working with will be upgrading from RSS to RQC. The lastest version for RQC is 9.0.1.1.08. Does anyone know if there will be another version coming in the near further Right now I know if we went with this lastest version there are still 8 CTP's that will need to be applied. They are: 83292, 83645, 83678, 83900, 83672, 83778, 84706  and 85192. Thanks for any help you can give me or issue information that you may have experienced with a RSS to RQC upgrade.

I there a way to limit the quantity of an item a user requests in RQC Also, is there a way to specify a date range on the requested delivery date (ie between today and today14days) Thanks Jeff

RQC starts up in the product line set in the users RM record.  Is there a way to switch product lines in RQC like in portal or via the URL

When selecting the Translate only option in the ED501, does the job produce and output file (NEOFTPGHX) and if so, where is the file placed I want to be able to verify new mappings for a test PO I am sending.

When we implemented Lawson in 2003 we assigned a different process level for each affiliate/ship-to location. This means we have to have a separate check run for each process level. Our CFO would like to move to one check run for all. From a procurement standpoint, I can't see any issues with changing the process levels in IC02 and RQ01 to one common process level. Am I overlooking something

I'm trying to determine the costs of all supplies used in a surgery. Our surgical system is Cerner Surginet and we're using Lawson S3 Procurement. I imagined I'd be able to match up the manufacturer and manu catalog number in Cerner with the manufacturer and manufacturer's number in the Lawson table itemmast. I can match the manufacturer but the product numbers aren't matching up. Has anyone been able to do this Thanks in advance.

Has anyone utilized Lawson’s Item Master and Inventory to set-up a service only location  This idea is to allow requestors to request defined internal services that have a defined cost.  Thanks for any help.

Hi all - first time poster, sorry If I leave something out. Up until recently, (it may have been our upgrade to 9.0.1.2) a NEW item that was marked 'Y' in Auto PO in IC12, and had a valid vendor would kick off a PO when I ran a PO100 job. Now, that doesn't happen. It seems that the only way that it will order automatically is if I place a manual order for the item the first time. Then the system will take over and do it. I've even ran through all my PO01 setups. Checked flags in IC12, put th...

This is my first time posting and I am not sure if this is where this post is supposed to go or not... I am using Lawson OLE DB Object Services to generate a dme statement for retrieving RQ data from Lawson.  In the dme statement it automatically inserts the following in the dme statement: ACAS=1&OTM=2 The dme statement seems to work the same with or without these values. Does anyone know what the ACAS and OTM values represent

Prior to my taking over the Lawson Administration where i'm employed matching was setup and seems to be functioning correctly but I guess tolerances were not setup  for PO's they want the tolerances setup as follows. tolerance of ( or -) 1 of total invoice amount with the CAP at $5.00. If the cost difference does not meet this tolerance it would then be rejected and returned to purchasing for their approval and/or correction.  How would I go about setting this up Thanks in adv...
