Greetings All! I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with, regarding the capitalization of assets from the Activities module to the Asset Management module. I'm interested in learning the 'official' process in transferring costs from AC to AM, that is, the way the developers designed for the System to work.  I would imagine this method would encompass an entry that reduces the balance in the specific activity itself, while increasing a corresponding fixed asset account, or somet...

We just moved onto 9 Portal and I would like to find a way to sumbit jobs without having users' hands leave the keyboard.  Lawson says the only way to submit is to click with one's mouse on the submit button, but I'd love to find a way so hands can stay at keyboard. Thank you.

I have tried to use Excel Addins to create new Calendar in AC00.2 without luck. Is there anyone with knowledge on how to do this

Need a quick reply if there is a means of calling back a Released batch from AR42.1 Thanks in advance. Jeff Wells - State of NH

Has anyone ever written or created a detailed AR rolling / movement report by customer account to represent the entire AR sub ledger that ties back to the GL movement we have a request from our auditors to provide this information. Currently we are using open item and do not print statments for all customers. We find the AR294 report lacking in this area. Any recommendations on which canned Lawson reports may be move useful than creating out own report

We are on a fiscal period ending Oct 31st. The years that are opened are 2006, 2007 & 2008. When I posted my transactions(GL190) beg Nov 1, 2008, they were posted in 2006. Please help how I can change the current year to 2009 (GL10.1).

We have several attributes set up to group cost centers by director, vp, etc for easier report running capabilities.  When setting up an attribute, you also have to set up a list (MX10.1) which includes that attribute, in order to call that grouping (by list) in report writer. My question is...it looks as though multiple attributes are able to be added to each list.  It even lets me add them and it says 'Change Complete - Continue'.  However, after adding two attributes to a list and then try...

Hi  I have a question on Burdens. Would appreciate if someone can help me with the answer. we add a burden to each item that we purchase using donor funding.  This burden is a in effect a mark-up or Overhead cost.  AC61 applies a specific burden to the cost when the cost is posted.  Since the new custom program is changing the structure of  burdens the costs, we need to make sure that the burden is applied at the same exchange rate as the original cost. Can someone tell me what is the...

We had a GL manager do a 'final' close on GL199 for December 2008 and now we need to post an entry to that month.  Has anyone ever done this  I figured it's not something recommended by Lawson given the fix probably entails changing a variety of flags.

We're looking at changing our fiscal calendar from Jan.1-Dec. 31 to a Feb. 1-Jan. 31 period.  Has anyone done this and how did you handle the one month gap  Lawson documentaion talks about GL500 but that just seems to adjust history.  We're iSeries, 9.0.0.4 apps and 9.0.0.5 env.

We went live on 9.0.0.4 apps in December 2009 and didn't change the flag in MA01.1 under the options tab to summarize distributions to 'N'. We discovered this after users were running crystal reports and getting stange results. We then changed the flag to 'N' and all reports were correct (from the date of change forward). This did cause another issue with crystal reports. The data that is now getting written to the GLTRANS table  in the 'DESCRIPTION' field actually contains the 'ITEM NUMBER' now...

How does one view the status and history of a requistion as it flows through the approval process within Lawson  Are there standardized reports or screens that provide this level of information  Any guidance is appreciated.

Does anyone know if the POSIX subsystem is required for Lawson Financial Is it needed for the lid utility Thanks Dave

IS IT POSSIBLE TO READ A UNIX FILE (CREATED BY THE USER WTH HIS/HER OWN DATA) FROM A LAWSON PROGRAM

Looking to see if anyone has had to reconcile their AP accrual account between AP and GL.  I have ran both AP136 and looked at GL90.  When comparing both I am always off by 425k.  I did find one transaction with a source code of AD that was in the accrual account (there should only be trans with a source code of AC).  I also ran a query on APDISTRIB and found some trans that for some reason have not posted to GL (would not be in GL90).  Well I am still off and I am trying to see if others have e...

Is there a way to apply a discount to individual line items on an invoice.  We have a vendor that allows an early payment discount on the product only not the freight.  Is there a better way to do this other than to hard code the discount amount and discount date through the AP30.3 after it's been released.

Hi, I want to understand the difference between the APInvoice table and the Invoice Header/Detail tables.  Is APInvoice for receivables (makes sense to me) and Invoice Header/ Detail is for billing, correct Thanks!

Thanks to anyone thhat can anser two questions I have, Someone posted: 07/01/2009 05:04 PM EditQuoteReplyAlert  I would appreciate any help anyone may provide on these two problems. I'm working on a brand new apps 9.0 upgrade (we are already on Env 9). Things are going well except: A Lawson client on this board has previously reported a problem with workfile(s) going to the wro...

I went from apps 8.0.3 to 9.0.0.4. We have work files from jobs that are not going to the correct product line for example, we are getting old product line instead of the new one as a relative path to the work files. Do to this, jobs have been going down. Does anyone have a suggestion

Is it possible to find out what username released a specific payment batch Not the user who created it, but who released it

If I create a payment in June for July 1st but run the AP170 in June will the payment post and relieve cash in June or July.  Here's the scenario.  Our rent payments are due the 1st but the ACH file has to be at the bank one day prior so I always run them in the current month.  No big deal.  We are managing cash tighter this quarter so I want to know if I run the ACH file batch in June but date the payments for July which month will my balance sheet be affected

My company has many intercompany realtionships defined within Lawson.  I am curious to find out if any Lawson client has a solution to providing visibility to the originating transaction description.  The auditors do not like seeing 'auto offset from...'   Thank you!

Does anyone know how to make a balance sheet account close into retained earnings at the end of the year  We are a financial services/insurance organization that needs to track multiple pieces of the retained earnings component in different accounts for statutory reporting.

I am adding records into AC54 so that I have some expense to run Billing & Revenue.  The problem is that these expenses are already embedded with other expenses in interfaces into Lawson.  I cannot change my interfaces to exclude the portion of the expense that I want to run Billing and Revenue for.  Therefore, I am double booking the expense and want to reverse out the entries that I am making in AC54 after I run Billing & Revenue.  I do not know the best way to do this.
