We have an issue which I'm sure many also have where end users choose CS for case instead of CA.  Many of our EDI vendors accept CS for case but send CA on the advanced ship notice and invoice line which causes errors in processing.  It's very rare that we would use CS for cassette and in reality EA can be used.  I'd like to inactivate CS but that's not an option in IC00, I can only delete to remove it as a choice for the end user.  My question is - how might deleting a UOM that has been used pr...

Good morning, We have been looking using the IC135 report and have run into some issues with it. I am wondering if anyone was aware of these issues and if they have sucessfully resolved them. Most of the data for the IC135 report comes from the ICHISTORY table. It seems there was an issue with a version of Lawson in the past that would incorrectly calculate the monthly stock on hand fields and allow them to go below zero. We found this out as some lines on the report were reporting incorre...

How is everyone dealing with subs from Cardinal Health   We're JIT so it's by and large non-stock items and if it was on backorder and we wanted the sub, we've canceled the line and added the sub as a special on the bottom.  But since we have switched over to Cardinal it's been nothing but EDI bomb outs.  When there is a new line at the bottom of the PO, the EDI receipts will not all process.  Sometimes the receipts for the sub line process and it's the rest of the PO that bombs, but mostl...

the scenario... 5 lines on the PO, lines 2-5 were received and matched, line 1 was received and AP did a chargeback leaving the line open, (except in PO64 where it shows matched) Archiving line 1 (in test environment, 'FC' 'V' and change), has shown to close the line, and also make it not show up on RNI report as well (test environment) Now all lines on the PO are closed, but the PO is still open...how do you force close the PO so it doesn't show up on any open PO reports

Hello We have a bunch of PO's where payments were made on the PO but the lines were not matched. In other words there is no open amount on the PO and the lines are received. Many of these go back years and years and majority are non-stocks or specials (X,N type) Way back I recall someone telling me about having to create a dummy AP credit and match against that or something along those lines (I'm not an AP person, more a WH/PO/IC and technical person). Due to the huge volume that...

We have an issue on PO20 where upon release of a PO we receive the message 'Address does not exist for AP vendor'. The situation is this. We create a new vendor on AP10 making sure an address is added and the purchasing department creates a PO for this new vendor as soon as it is set up in AP10. Then we receive the message listed above when trying to release the PO. The work around has been to change the Effective date under the New Address link on the AP10 screen to the prior day. However,...

Has anyone had to delete an old requisition, from 5 years ago, that is still in 'needs approval' state The person awaiting to approve it hasn't worked for this company in 5 years and the req is still sitting there as 'needs approval'. Another user at the facility has reached out to see if it can be cancelled or deleted. RQ10 simply won't let me 'delete' it because of this approval state. Also, we don't use approval tables everything is set as no approvals required. docs.infor.com isn't re...

Anyone using Punchout to connect to McKesson or Amerisource to pull pharmacy orders in through Lawson We are not - this is purely a fishing expedition. We do bring in the invoices as an AP520 with line detail - but all orders/approvals etc are done on McKesson's website.  (We moved from Amerisource a few years ago they had the same setup)

We're looking to create a perpetual location (currently on par) for our ORs to source from.  Due to another large project we won't be able to implement a decrement interface from Epic right now.  Does anyone have a perpetual that replenishes your ORs  but is not fully integrated with your EHR  I would like to hear what others are doing to decrement their inventory in this type of situation.

Is anybody aware of a resource which outlines best practices for Lawson table joins related to the PO function  I would like to expand into AP/GLTRANS at some point, but need to begin with the PO basics of pulling all POs issued, received, returned and the 'WHERE' clause which best limits duplication.  Any direction would be appreciated.

Hi, Does anyone out there currently utilize this ED40 record Were there any unintended side effects after you started using it Did it interfere with any other matching rules you had in place Have you implemented it for all of your TPIDs or did you only add it for specific troublesome vendors   Thanks! -Wade

We are implementing punchout and we are having an issue; we have different purchase from locations.  I was told to set up the ED45 with the purchase from blank and add the purchase from on RQC on the detail profile (header).  When I look at the RQ10 the lines don't have the purchase from location, after I run the PO100 and I look at PO20 the purchase from is blank. (unless I add the purchase from location on the ED45) Does anyone have different purchase from locations   I was told I can't hav...

We would like to have two different MMIS numbers with the same Manufacture number under the same vendor number. Is this possible If so, please instruct.

Hello - We have situations with Bill Only's where we have new costs loaded in the item master, but because the Proc Date is prior to the effective date of the new costs, the new cost will not be correct.  We would prefer to not use the RQ04 cost override option.  My thought is to use 2 Lawson agreements with a special RQ01 as a participant in the old one that would only be kept available for a couple weeks or so until the techs work through the older bills & are only processing bills under the n...

We are currently full EDI with Grainger and we also use their 'Keep Stock' program.  (This is where they have a rep that comes into the hospital and take stock of what is on-hand to let us know what needs to be ordered each week.) We want to move to punchout with Grainger using EDI outbound and inbound but do not necessarily want to give up the 'Keep Stock' functionality.  I was wondering if anyone else is using both the Keep Stock program for Grainger and Punchout to elimiate multiple user tou...

Hello - We are going LUM/JIT with a vendor soon.  As PO's are issued, is there a way to automate the cancellation of a PO line when the vendor cannot fill it 100  Thanks.

I want to update a user field on PO25.4; once the user field is populated and you hit OK, it takes you back to PO25.6 where the function box for that lines auto populates to 'C' and you have to hit change.  Is there a way to map duplicate pages in excel add ins

I am having trouble setting up a substitution table for a vendor to change the UOM from EA to PC when going across EDI. Can someone help me understand This is how I have it built. List Name …. GHXROCHE_O_UOM Lawson Value ….. EA External Value..... PC V10 Lawson

We have been on Lawson for years and have always had PO reqs with the same vendor and same buyer compile onto one PO. We have put in a large patch to get our versions up to speed. Now we have one buyer whose reqs are not compiling. So she may have 3 reqs entered by 3 different requsting locations, all items from the same vendor. Instead of getting 1 PO for all the lines, she will get upwards of 5 PO's, often the PO will have only one req line. Has anyone experienced this change after a new pat...

I am trying to run a report to determine the remaining balance on a service PO. I ran PO222 remaining balance but it seems to only give me 'amount left to match' on goods and not services. Is there a way in lawson to determine this

We would like to set a maximum limit when end users are using templates in Requisition Center. We have the occasional employee that doesn't pay attention and they'll order 1500 cases thinking they are ordering 1500 eaches (even though the UOM is clearly CA!). Any solutions out there This recent 'Boo Boo' would have cost us $85K if not caught and slapping the employee around isn't allowed nor would it likely help.    Thanks,   Mark

I am hearing a lot about Mobile Receiving - Exactly what are they talking about  What kind of install does it require and does this differ from MSCM setup

We are having an issue with several items that do not bring back a search when using the catalog search in RQC; however you can search for it in express order without issue.  I have checked IC11,PO13.3,and PO25.6.  Everything looks in order.  We do use contract management so not sure if that would have an impact on the search or not.  Does anyone have any suggestions before I log an incident with Infor.  Thanks for you time.

We seriously need to replace our Fax Integrator PC.  I'd just as soon not replace like for like with the modem, and etc. What are other people doing  What do I need to do Any input is welcomed!

OK, I give up.  We're on Lawson LSF Environment - 9.0.1.8.221 // Lawson Applications - 9.0.1.6 Is anyone here using manual item creation and bringing in GPO contracts from GHX then using PO536 to update pricing I've run into an issue that Lawson (of course) says is working as designed and GHX (of course) says no other client on the planet has ever encountered. I do not want to add new items to my item master, I just want to update existing ones to match a Premier Contract.  I go into C...
