Lawson apps 9.0 differences/enhancements/features

Barry;
first, why, are you working on a Sat?

We just successfully completed a 8 to 9 upgrade in Nov.
Look for UIP8081x.pdf on Lawson's web site ( I don't know how to attach it here). It was used as a base and we had John Henley help us map out other detailed upgrade tasks.

NOTE, our database was ~200G, the upgrade process took over 72 hours total. This of course can vary for you.

Thank you for replying. Perhaps I didn't ask the question properly. Actually I'm wrapping up the upgrade from 8.0 to 9.0 (apps, env, database, servers etc.). Finishing up some bookmarks, etc. setup for portal. Our Users start testing the system this coming week.

So I wanted to check if anyone has seen any documentation for end users regarding the enhancements/new features etc. I know Lawson puts out the release notes with each verison like 9.0, 9.0.0.1, etc. but wanted to see if there's a cummulative document anywhere?

Thanks again!

I see.
We use the release notes as the base (appsrn-uw.pdf)
then, we had the users do their normal daily process in App9, so they can discover the difference themselves as well as testing out the system.

Yep, seems like the only way to do. But I was wondering if anyone got any training or anything from lawson and wouldn't mind sharing their docs/etc.

We plan to do the same, Go through the regular functionality and explore the new buttons or functions.

Thanks.

Lawson doesn't do cumulative docs because they would have to make one for every possible combination of start and end point. You would need to compile all changes from all of the release notes. I usually had some power users of each module run through their portion of the release notes, then we put together a list of major changes and sent that to the end users.

Yes, that seems to be the only way to get there. Anyone has  a cummulative list for 8.0.3 apps to 9.0.0.x list that they don't mind sharing or sending . Understood that a lot will depend on the users for each community/company as to what makes the most business sense to them. We only use S3 Financials (AP, AR, BR, GL, CASH).

Thank You.

Maybe not the entire list .But if someone had the main new functions/highlights of Apps 9.0 Vs 8.0

Thank You.
