I'm curious to know if anyone uses Infor’s Lawson Accounts Payable Invoice Automation system, or any invoice automated system. We deal with many suppliers that send their invoices via EDI, email, and csv files. We want a way to flow these invoices into Lawson and automate the matching process. We'd deal with the fallouts thereafter. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

We have several accounting units that are mapped to various GL Account codes per GL20.2. We have one accounting unit for balance sheet transactions, but we discovered several income statement accounts with exists as 'yes' on the GL20.2 for the balance sheet unit. We don't want individuals accidently coding transactions improperly so we need to turn the exists from 'yes' to 'no.' We have shut off dynamic account generation to prevent the exists from being turned automatically to 'yes' if someo...

We are headed to the West Coast Mega Meeting in Newport Beach, CA in a few weeks and we would love to chat with someone who is in a healthcare setting who has gone through the upgrade from V10 to V11. Does anyone know of a company that has It doesn't necessarily have to be in a healthcare setting also. Thanks.

Does anyone have a project plan or checklist to use when defining a new company in Lawson S3

We are just starting to look at using Lawson's Lease Management module in order to track leases with the new regulations. We're coming up with various scenarios to see how they would work in the new system. One that I'm curious how people are using is compute statements for payments. As an example, we have a lease that has a Year 1 base amount and then increases annually at a percentage of the CPI index increase. I was looking at the computes, but we've really only used them with old rep...

After the closing of period 7 it was discovered that there were two PR entries in period seven with posting date for period 4 and period 6. We need to fix these dates into period 7. I have opened period 7 for back posting and tried to un-release the two entries so I could correct the dates but the system will not allow that. Is there a way to correct these dates Our concern is if we have to open up to say period six to do some correction then the one PR entry dated within that period will t...

An S3 Financial user had been able to use this hotkey combo to see which table a particular field is being pulled from, CtrlShiftO. It no longer works. I have performed all of the normal IE troubleshooting steps to no avail. We have actually uninstalled the newest version of Java and installed and older version. I am not familiar with Lawson, I am the Help Desk Sup but our Lawson Expert prefers to put tickets in with Infor than to post on forums. I prefer the people's voi...

We are looking for a way to secure recurring journals by having them go for reapproval if they are changed in terms of dollar amount, cost center, GL, etc. Right now, they get approved on the front end, but after that changes can be made without an additional approval needed. Does anyone have experience with this scenario Thanks, Jerry

Hello All, We want to set up EDI 810 just for one vendor. All invoices will be against POs. I've been reading the EDI user guide and had some questions. Does ED502 have the ability to translate standard X12 built-in, or do we have to load some kind of field map What errors would prevent an invoice from being accepted into ED502 In this case would an error message go back to the vendor Do qty and price errors prevent an invoice from loading Our single trading partner w...

Hello All, We're trying to gather as much information as we can for a possible move to EDI (just 810 for invoices for now). Would anybody like to share the fields they use for EDI 810, as well as their mapping to MA540 We looking at office supplies, basic IT hardware, etc. No services. Thanks, Jerry

My Finance team is trying to automate the process of selecting a invoice that gets paid on the check listed in the header section of AR30. What they do is: “We first add the payment in AR30.1 once the batch is created by giving it the batch number we created, adding the pmt number, paid amount on the check, and customer number with the date we received the money. Then hit add to add the payment. Then the manual work begins by having to put an A for add next to each invoice that gets paid...

I need to know who released a specific AR batch. I can see the operator that created the batch in AR20. Is there a way to determine who released that batch

We are migrating to a new Domain and to Lawson 11. I need to create a SQL Script to list out all the Lawson Actor ID's and their corresponding LAWPROD10x and SSOP settings. Example: ACTORID = somones.name LAWPROD10x = domain\somones.name SSOP = someones.namedomain.net I cannot find what table contains the LAWPROD10X and SSOP fields so I can list them. Can anyone please help me identify the table(s) that these two fields exist in Thank you in advance. Allen

How do you roll GL balances over from year to year Thank You

We are looking for a way to delay the EDI 810's. The ED502 job is basic and doesn't have any date parameters so it just goes out to our GHX server and picks up all the files in the mmis_in folder. These get processed in and many of them fail on MA54 due to PO issues. We were wondering if there was a way to delay them by a few days so that it gives the PO's time to come in and be received. Anybody have a way to do this

Hi Everyone, I am trying to uniquely pin point transactions from GLTRANSREL table to GLTRANS , how can we achieve this is there a column where you can add a unique identifier which gets populated in GLTRANS once journals are posted Thanks Sam

We are having issues getting the Lawson generated AP161 PAYMENT file to translate into an 820. There was no REMIT file generated. Is that an issue Or should we keep looking at trading partner setup In the AP161 flat file, where is the trading partner ID located, and would it make a difference if it was not found The error we get is simply, no data to be translated. Anyone have experience with an issue like that Not attaching the file for obvious reasons, but can answer questions about sp...

I currently don't have access to PO64 (still waiting a week after putting in a service now ticket). Is there another report I could use in the meantime that would give me similar information about matching and/or unreleased invoices

We currently use GHX to interface our EDI messages from vendors. We have a record on ED40 for an Add-On cost of Freight. Since GHX sends the code 'G830' in the EDI message, that is how we currently have the ED40 record driven. We would like to somehow have the freight be disbursed based on Process Level of the Purchase Order instead of all Freight going to the 1 AOC code. Is this possible when interfacing with GHX Thank you!

In Lawson General Ledger, How can we complete remove journals using SQL. I noticed the journals are still present even after deleting rows in GLTRANS How can i completely remove them without using GL146

We are working on implementing Lease Management so we can support the new reporting requirements for Long Term Operating Leases. As we're working through testing, we're running up against a block trying to understand when the various journal entries should be hitting our general ledger. I'm hoping someone out here has done this and can point us in the right direction. The difficulty we're having is due to the payment timing. Most of our leases are due by the 1st of the month and are fo...

We have over 500 accounting units that we need to open a certain account for on GL20.2 Is there an easier way than going to each on GL20.1 and the accounts button and then opening the accounts from there one by one Is there a way to mass open an account for ALL of our accounting units I asked lawson support, but they only pointed me to GL222 which is just a report of which ones already have it open, but completely avoided my question of a way to mass open for all.

Does anyone have Addins for CB10, CB10.3, CB10.4 in a self-contained file Or even in split versions for header and then detail If you do an can share, thanks in advance. Thank you.
