A Lawson newbie, so be easy, please.  Thought easiest interface to tackle would be flat file .txt from bank to Lawson Bank Rec.  On LSF9 so I see two options--CB185 flat file  and  CBSTMTREC database file.  Any suggestions    With importdb, do I list all fields in header record, comma separated, or just the fields I want to upload  Would Add-Ins be a better upload option  Thanks

We are finally upgrading Essbase from Version 7 to Version 11 and have been told by Oracle that Lawson has only certified to Essbase version 9.3. We are using Lawson Analytic Architecture to feed our cubes and it is working well for us. Has anyone else using Analytic Architecture upgraded to Essbase Version 11 and if so, are you having any issues Have you ignored the lack of certification

We are on 9.0.1.10 and upgrading essbase to 11 - has anyone able to get the lawson api to work with 11 for the IA120 to still work

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to import credit card transactions We currently upload every credit card by month separately as a Journal Entry. And the more we grow, the more users receive credit cards and it came up in discussion - how do other companies handle their credit card purchases From what I've seen there's a P-card module We currently don't utilize it. How useful is the module Or does anyone use an external software to track their detail and up...

We have to complete several asset surveys each year. The surveys require us to group certain pieces of equipment in categories with ACES codes. These 3 digit codes are used to report out equipment like computers (code 311), Office equipment (312), medical equipment (317). In our old Sage Fixed Assets software we created a category that was required for each asset to be either NA (for building, land, leasehold improvements) or one of the 3 digit codes for moveable, fixed, and software. This w...

Our vendor master controller has inactivated a vendor due to a merger and now invoices coming in electronically are rejecting. I've seen other vendors with a status of PO Add Inactive, which I understand does not allow for new POs and that's all the definition I can find on it. Will this status allow invoices for POs already created to pass through electronically

Hello All, Am using a SQL QUERY NODE to query a table..But, the SQL QUERY NODE _ outputData is blank.. Please anyone guide me to fetch the results of that query and send them to a directory..

I'm looking at APDISTRIB records and their linked (GLT_OBJ_ID) GLTRANS records. The GLTRANS records have AP / AP175, as the interface. What populates the R_DATE of the GLTRANS I was trying to determine if any distributions hit a prior month after statements were issued. Also most transactions are 'summarized' so I'm getting more detail at the AP level. However I see future (Years away) R_DATE in the GLTRANS record. I'll see GL POSTING_DATE of 2/29/2016 which I expect. But R_DATE anywhere from ...

We are running Lawson 10 and have users who submit jobs & reports. Sometimes a user submits a job/report that runs for over a 1/2 hour. Is there a way in Lawson 10 to kill this job maybe through Print Manager or does it have to be done on the back end (maybe through LID) and what would be the command to do this. Thank you in advance! Allen

What is the easiest way to enter the PO and see the overall payments and overall remaining balance (money left on the PO) User is currently using PO64, but thinks there must be a better way Thank you Jim

Hello - Let's say you have a multiple line PO, & when the invoice is applied, at least 1 line creates a PO cost message. Do you hold payment until the invoice can be paid in its entirety or do you pay on the matched lines per normal terms, then pay the discrepant line(s) at a later time once the cost message is resolved And is either direction dictated by a setting in Lawson Thanks.

Currently in our Lawson security, AP owns the MA60 screen, but doesn't like to use it. They believe that all invoices should match in AP20 perfectly. However, when they don't, they will not go to MA60 to release the payment unless they are instructed by Supply Chain. Otherwise it sits on our exceptions database in SharePoint. So I asked them why should AP own it if Supply Chain has to tell them when to use it I'm just curious .... Who owns the MA60 screen at your place of business

Does anybody knows if there is a Lawson program that can allow me to delete entries from GL165 to prevent double posting the entries There are about 150 transactions in GLTRANSREL.

We are often asked to add more than one e-mail address to receive the EFT payment notifications. I know in the past Lawson has said no.
