    I am new to the purchasing dept., and new to Lawson. Double whammy....I am in the test mode practicing po entry, etc. Do you have any suggestions for learning this? I will inquire on Monday about the availability of online training...but I think it is pretty much training by fire. I need step by step for--po 20 entry. For example when you create po, but need to add an item is it "c" then change details, or "a" then change details..? Does anyone have step by step for po20--we have 9.0 version? THANKS!

      Hi Kathy,
      Your supervisor should have at the very least teamed you up with someone who would train you on how to perform the various duties you will need to perform. Lawson does provide online training which can be a good start, but every company has practices and procedures that you will need to know. Check to see if they have put together a training manual that would give you the basic steps of how to create a PO. Don't be afraid to ask your fellow workers. Good Luck.

        Hi Kathy,

        In addition to Jim's reply, ask if there is a TEST product line where you can try different scenarios without consequences. Also, your employer should have scripts and procedures manuals that were used for testing, upgrades, etc. See if you can get your hands on them.

          I can send you the Lawson User Guide for the Purchase Order System it is a general guide but your location should have a guide tailored to your business practices.

            Hi Kathy,not sure if you have found help yet. But this is what I know. When you add an item to the PO, put "A" on FC box, then change. Hope this helps.
