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

Management has requested that we track how many buyer messages are created in a day, week, month; how quickly they are worked, and time frames on completion. Does anyone have any processflows, sql queries, or crystal reports that they have used to track this type of data

Need help in understanding PO23: Lawson 9.02 Using RQSS for Purchase Orders. ISeries When I request a PO for 6 items one item will drop due to insufficient information i.e vendor. The item will show up on PO23. PO 100 runs and a PO is generated for 5 of the 6 items. Is there a way to append the item in PO23 to the po generated from PO100. I need help in understanding PO23. Thanks in advance

Has anyone found a way to process and match a PO across companies We have a situation where the company issuing the PO is not the one that will be paying the vendor. The PO is issued by one of our subsidiary but the payment must be done by our corporate office, since the payment is being made via an international wire.

So who is using Contract Management What is the community's thoughts on this product Is it stable and worthwhile Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I was looking for a patch for a unit of measure error my buyers are receiving when they replace a item with another item number that does not have the same unit of measure as the original item on the requisition. What I found was a article on the knowledge base (article 5367593) saying that this is a valid message.Now I am trying to understand why Lawson would want PO20 to act in such a fashion. I do not care what unit of measure was on the original requisition I just want to maintain the link...

Hello, Is it possible to have items set up that are ordered from one department, but expensed to another department. Our Pharmacy want's to have Nursing units order IV solutions through Requisitions, but have the amount charged to them. I thought about setting up a different requesting location with the pharmacy account defaulting for that, but it could get confusing for those doing the ordering to make sure they select a different Req loc for the items. Any Ideas Thank you.

The question was posed to me today regarding how to run pharmacy orders through Lawson that have special pricing through the Federal 340b program. We have 2 hopitals that qualify to participate. This special pricing is granted to patients that are non-Medicaid and non-inpatient. Anyone out there particpating in this and running PO's through Lawson

Hi All I am looking for some information of how the tax is handled with respect to the EDI PO file which is generated from the lawson S3 edi module. We are starting to implement the EDI here (this is on 8.1 MSP5, on LSF9.0.4) for PO and cannot see any tax value in the EDI output file is that normal any experience anyone can share regards Saurabh

Apparently there is a way to configure EDI so that multiple Lawson companies can share one account number. We went live today with a configuration which does not process 855 po scknowledgements. Lawson ED502 has built the PO122 file in a way that all POs are lumped under one company and no POs are found. Is anyone working under this arrangement Can you share your EDI configuration with me Thanks!

Looking for those in the healthcare industry that are using Cerner Pharmnet for pharmacy and possibly using Lawson Punchout to ABC. We are discussing the possibiltiy of using Punchout for ABC (and possibly other pharmacy vendors) and interfacing Lawson to Pharmnet to push the order into Procure where pharmacy does inventory/cost tracking. Please contact me. jon.atheymidmichigan.org

I would like to get some feedback on how others process free inventory product. The following are some of the parameters that we are working with in this type of situation: 1) The product is an Inventory type product 2) We receive FREE product based on how much we procure with the vendor; so the sipments will be sporadic and vary in quantity 3) The vendor requires a Purchase Order to ship the free product on 4) We want to have one Purchase Order to have the vendor ship on. We are looking at th...

Please forgive me because I'm not really familiar with RSS or where the screen is located. I'm not sure if I have to use the rss_config.xml to hid or make a field required. The problem is I want to make the comment field a required field and I don't even know what the field name is. I suspect this is an attachment field in RQHEADER but how do you reference it as a required field Thanks for any hlp on this. Sam

I am told that there are just 3 clients live on LCM and am wondering who has investigated the product and why more clients haven't implemented it. Is the problem the Landmark environment compatibility requirements or is it the product unacceptable for some reason

Hi, I am trying to make a report that reads the data from POLINE that matches what PO254 spits out. Currently I have: PURCHORDER.CANCELLED_FL = 'N' POLINE.QUANTITY POLINE.CXL_QTY POLINE.COMPANY = 1000 PURCHORDER.RELEASED_FL = 'Y' Any ideas why the value that shoots out is significantly larger than the PO254 for the same vendor/time period

Hi I was trying to search the Invoice Release Date in the AP system for a Purchase Order but apparently Lawson does not store AP release date in the AP system as per Article 5353456 and 5413640. Is there a corresponding Match date on the MA system or PO system that can be used as a substitute for the AP Invoice release date. If so can you please let me know the table/field that stores match date and the relation between APINVOICE and the corresponding table in PO or MA system.

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.

Hello All - I am new to Lawson & new to Lawson Guru, and want to thank evryone for thier posts, as it has taught me some handy tricks!!!! My question revolves around No charge Items & AOC. The vendor is charging us the shipping of the items, but the cost of the item is zero. How do we go about adding the AOC charge

We have been asked to investigate the feasibility of using Lawson for lot tracking and tracking down items when recalls are received. In researching what we could find on Lawson and Lawson Support about it, there is minimal information, but judging from the screen help information, this does not seem to be a very effective way of tracking down recalled items when notices are received. Does anyone out there actually use Lawson for Lot tracking If so, is it even possible to track multiple ...

Our FBP boutique orders some of the same supplies that our FBP unit orders, but the boutique orders for resale at a different cost. We have two shipto account numbers for the vendor for ordering the items for patient use and for resale. We need to be able to source the items from separate PO locations based on the requesting location. Am I stuck maintaining a par location as my only option We are 8.03 apps, and I know that in 9.0 you can have special order items on a template. So I assum...

Anyone know where the comment text from the 'Has Message' button on MA66.2 is stored I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Trying to use PFI to read a field from a none Lawson Table. I can use Pearl to do the enquire at that point. Can't find any documentation in Design Studio that givens an example of calling a program with a variable, then receiving the important message. Can anybody help

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...

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

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...
