We are preparing to switch office supply companies and are really looking at the way we currently process office supply requests and purchase orders. Currently we do not have Punch-out installed, but purchased. So for now, users are expected to go out to the vendors site and gather the information they need to enter into Lawson RSS. This does not always happen and can create a lot of effort on the back-side. We have considered using an EDI 856 to automate receipts (or even ERS) and then matching...

I read the article 76166 that states DM A-1 must be the first rule level set up in the rule group. It states, if the system can match at any other level prior to reaching the DM A-1 level, the functionality will not be available for future invoices against that receipt. ie If the invoice quantity multiplied by the unit cost is less than the receipt quantity multiplied by the unit cost, but is still within tolerance, the system will match at DM 1-1 or DM 1-A and not leave a quantity remaining to ...

Hi!, What is the format file for SALESORDERS in the lawson program OE510 in Lawson 9 version. Thanks very much!!

We need to make a customization to RSS, creating a button so that people can access an imagenow form to add supporting documentation for the req. I have identified where I want to add this button, in html/index.htm. Do I add the actual processing to a javascript file somewhere and refer to that as the 'onclick' action I will be sending parameters such as requester nbr, date, etc from the requisition to populate the form. I have done simpler mods to RSS forms (change field labels, hide tabs,...

If anyone is still needing to upgrade to RQC from RSS I am attaching a PDF showing the steps I took in installing RQC on LSF 9.0.1.7.181 / Sun-Solaris /Oracle. The install was fairly simple with only a few gotchas, mainly the deployment to Websphere is a single line in the Lawson install document but entails 10 pages worth of screenshots in my document. (I don't see a way to attach a document at this point.) Hopefully it will appear once I post this message.

I am curious what the pro's and con's are for definine requesters from a long term maintenance perspective. We are looking to restrict the ability to order by authorized requesting location. ex: Sarah the user and Sarah the requester (Individual) or Sarah the user and MyDepartment the requester. I see the benefit of assigning individuals to logical requesters as an ease in maintenance on the RQ04 ( for the authorized requesting locations). However, will we still be able to email the...

I am looking for contacts that use Lawson for Pharmacy Rx and may have AmerisourceBergen as their primary vendor.  Even if AmerisourceBergen in not your primary vendor, I would like to make some contacts for our Pharmacy Director to communicate with.  In the spring, our Pharmacy is going to a carosel system from McKesson.  If you are willing to share your experiences, please drop me an email.

I have some contracts where the manufacturer is offering a discount to the distributor. The distributor is then marking up our agreed percentage based on that discounted price. Is there anyway I can load the base price as the undiscounted price (so buyers can verify that pricing from our purchasing group) and then calculate the discount and the markup I have noticed that PO25.3 only does one or the other. I did notice that in PO25.4 has a rebate option, however it doesn't seem to make the n...

We recently disabled the receiving bookmark in RSS because it was discovered that RSS users were 'receiving' when they should not be. We later found out that some RSS users were using that page to look up PO information. And we do have users that should have access to receive. I'm new to RSS. I am told that PO30 is the form that is used for receiving, but I don't see that our RSS security class has access to that token. We need to put this bookmark back online. And we need to control a...

Hello I need direction in finding out how our medical device company can become a Lawson Procurement Punchout Trading Partner. Many of our customers are Lawson customers and they are asking us for punchout capablities. Is there someone at Lawson who can provide guidance/ consulting on how we ensure that our Oracle iStore (ecommerce platform) is Lawson punchout friendly How do we officially become a Lawson approved trading partner I have reached out directly to Lawson but have not heard back ...

We are trying to figure out a way that a non system admin/ or request initiator can have visibility into what step in the approval process a Request is in. This is a need we have within IT so we can monitor where the flow has stopped if we need to keep pushing the request through. I am not the system admin, but I do have access to the Lawson tables and have experience querying A/P and GL tables for information. The system admin has not found a solution within the app itself. If there is an a...

I was wonder if anyone is using the GTIN/GLN regarding procurement. It appears that this is going to be a requirement at some point and was curious if anyone is using this. We are upgrading to 9.0.1 (currently on 9.0.0.7) and have been requested by GHX to start using it.

Our AP Supervisor has had issues in the last couple of days with MA70 and MA75 looping. Most of the time it works OK, but she has had a couple of instances where they loop. We are on 901 apps and recently applied CTP 78190, which updates these 2 programs among others. I am looking at any and all possible issues, and wanted to throw this question out to the group to see if anyone had encountered similar issues with these 2 programs. Thanks

Is anyone using the GLN setup for EDI If so looking to find out more about how it is being setup. In a nutshell, we have GLNs tied to requesting locations and need those GLNs to be communicated to the vendor. We do not want to build each GLN as an IC02 location as well because it will result in more data builds (IC81s to dictate the source of the items since there are both non-stock and stock items that are being ordered...the stock need to come from the WHSE location and not the IC02 locat...

We are looking to move Purchasing and Receiving from Lawson to Ariba. But we would still want Lawson IC to be updated for 'I' type items. We are thinking about using IC500 to interface an IC Receipt transaction. Anyone doing that differently or have any thoughts
