Is there a way where we can interface our 3rd part software Order-to-Pay system and interface it to Lawson for Electronic payment The idea is to pay electronically using our Order-to-Pay system and send over the transaction to Lawson AP for record purposes Also I should be able to send info of Discount Codes from the Order-to-Pay system to Lawson. There won't be any transaction happening in Lawson, but I should be able to pull up the info in Lawson, if I have to see what electronic payme...

Is there a way to fix this I read the Financial Conversion Guide, but realized that running GL65 is not possible because our calendar year is not open for Fiscal y...

I have a situation where I need to electronically bring invoices from another system or a 3rd party provider that handles reimbursement expenses. Some times these payments need to be processed from Lawson but in certain cases the payment might have been posted as a direct deposit by the 3rd party provider. I understand that I can load the data into APCINVOIC APCDISTRIB and then run the AP520 to populate the application tables etc. But what about the pre-paid invoices. I also noticed the CVI-R...

Our finance department has decided to restructure so that a group - but not all - of accounting units that currently exist in one facility (Company 100 - Corp 001) are moved to another (Company 100 - Corp 002). Looking for ideas on how best to move accounting units (GL20) but leave history intact in the old facility. AR and HR need the accounting units to stay the same on both corps, however Lawson support says all of the accounting unit's history moves when the acctg unit is moved. Our admin...

Hi This is on LSF 9.0.0.4, Apps 8.1 MSP5 When running the AC295 (Activity Summary) it shows both the Committed and Actual Separately. However the AC298 (Commitment details) only seem to be showing details for Commitment, no information for Actuals.

I am trying to figure out how to relate an Employee with APDISTRIB Table or AP Transactions. Any input will be appreciated! Thanks.

Our Treasury department does a lot of wire payments through their banks, both domestically and internationally (USD as well as other currencies)and then give us the information and we enter thme into Lawson as manual 'MAN' AP payments. We would like to have Lawson create the wire payments and eliminate the double keying that exists today. If anyone is doing wires via Lawson we would appreciate any help on how to set this process up in Lawson.

I'm trying to get a PO_NUMBER or INVOICE from ACTRANS. What's the key relation between ACTRANS and ( MAPOINV or PURCHORDER ) And also what's the REFERENCE in ACTRANS I thought it is PO_NUMBER or INVOICE when the transaction is 'AP'.

We have operations in a foreign country and have a bank account where we are storing USD. When I run my RW100's to consolidate, I want that dollar amount to appear; not a converted amount. Any time I want that money back, $20,000, I will get the $20,000 back, not a converted amount, so it should be on my books as $20,000, regardless of the base currency in that other country/company. Does anyone else conduct their operations this way

Hi all, I'll be the first to admin I have a little bit of functional knowledge in the financial arena, but by no means an expert. I have a question that I haven't been able to track down the resolution. We're undertaking an initiative to take the correct discounts on our invoices based on certain scenarios. After the calculation, we're attempting to change the amount of the discount on the AP22.3 screen (from the discount button on the main tab of AP20). After this is done and the inv...

Hi all, We're trying to investigate whether or not when an invoice matches at the header level, if the values in MAINVDTL populate with the PO Line information. We've entered in several invoices without line detail and matched within tolerance. When drilling on the invoice, you see invoice line detail. It appears to all be the PO line information, but needed to verify. Also, I would assume, that the MAINVDTL populates with the invoice detail when there is a detail level match We'r...

In case you guys have not run into this yet, the AP year end patches have caused two issues we have found so far that I want to make sure you know about.

Hi all- I work for a County government which uses Lawson Multi-Ledger to map multi-companies with different fiscal year end dates to the same December year end for financial reporting. Since we upgraded a year ago to 9.0 we have had to work around problems which we have encountered. Now we are experiencing a mission critical problem. General ledger balances (of a new company added throughout 2010) are NOT pulling through to the Multi-Ledger. The company has been added, mapped to our Multi-le...

First I am on an old Lawson version - 7.2.4. I have used the Activity move process (AC11, AC110, AC10.5, AC120) to move activities from one group to another in order to clean up some keystroke error when a level was originally set up. Now when I try to delete the dummy level 2 activity I create for the interim move, the AC10 screen gives me the message 'Cannot delete; subordinates exist in pending changes'. Where are these pending changes Joanne
