Is anyone using GenTran and GHX instead of Lawson & GHX We already have a few partners set up with GenTran, and would like to avoid purchasing the Lawson EDI in order to connect with GHX.  Our main concerns are the level of effort involved and stability.  Does anyone have tips/experiences they would be willing to share Thank you,  Jenna

RSS 09.00.00.06.04, Receiving self service. We have requesters that need to also receive but for specific company/location combinations.  When entering Receiving a test user sees all POs for the entire company and can change to another company.  The requester code (RQ04) holds their company and location but that seems to only default the company and not provide any security. How do I restrict receiving to the company/location information in the RQ04 record  A Lawson support tech tells me ...

Has anyone ever integrated a bar coding software with either Process flow or Requisition Self-Service  I'm not sure this is the right place to post this question.... Anway, we use RSS with Process Flow for approvals.  We want to be able to either print a bar code (the requisiton number would be the code) through a webrun node in Process Flow or through a button on RSS.  Anyone have any thoughts on how this can be completed  Thanks. -Shari

One of my Purchasing Agents created a po in PO20 about two weeks ago. Everything appeared normal. This PO is replicating it's self. I deleted a dozen of them last week. Yesterday she gave me another list of 10 to delete. It is the same PO to the same vendor for the same item and cost. We are fairly new to Lawson, August 2008. We are on 9.0. Any ideas how these are being created

Since the install of Smart Recon in production using Citrix the user cannot select a set and have it move to the list. This woks perfect in test, the citrix team is bouncing off the wall trying to resolve.  Any clues seems like they have tried to match test w/prod...

I'm really hoping someone can help. Ever since we upgraded from Winfax to the new Lawson Fax Integrator and MS Fax Console, the speed of the fax transmissions has become painfully slow. It takes almost 3 minutes per page, in contrast to several seconds per page before our upgrade. The difference in speed may not seem significant until there is a backlog of outgoing faxes due to any number of PC downtime issues. The backlog could take a couple days to complete transmitting and before it would ...

Is there a way to get Punchout to default in the account information without using RQ01 settings   The problem is if we set the account info on RQ01 it will default in for everything and we do not want that.  We do want some defaulting for Punchout however.

Hi.. I'm trying to implement 856s with Cardinal.   Even though for the most part it has worked fine.. I'm having a few issues that I can'f find answers for within Lawson't documentation. -First, when a line or header errors out in the ma531 process,  what is the correct way of getting them reprocessed with as little user  involvement as possible  -Why when one line on a reference number errors out, does it not go ahead and receive the lines that were fine. Instead it just leaves them out, not...

We upgraded from 8.0.3 hpux to 9.0.0.5 windows on December 15th 2008. We are using IC588 to process interface files from Synthes, Amerisource and Cardio Connect.

The new server has an issue with IC588 and does not work at all. Lawson is aware of the issue but has no plans to fix it because they don't support that pro...
