    We are trying to clean up our vendor master, In doing so we want to find vendors with no activity. I see there is no canned Lawson report for this - but in trying to create in crystal, we are a multi company facility - and using the APVENBAL table isnt proving to be that easy to use b/c it shows Last Payment date.
    I am sure there is a way to do this - but I am not a crystal expert by any means - so if anyone has done something similar to this, any information is greatly appreciated!

      You could do something by including the APVENMAST table. Then create selections where apvenbal.LAST_PMT_DATEs = blank (or in my world 1/1/1800) and apvenmast.CREATE.DATE is < a certain date.

        Try the APINVOICE Table for particular vendors to see whether the create table is less than a particlar date.

          On the apvenbal there is a last purchase date field and a last payment field. If you query these 2 fields and both fields are null then there is no activity for the vendor.

          However there is a location code for the vendor which you may have to take into account to show vendor activity.

            We needed this also and created a SSRS report using the SQL below.

            SELECT APVENMAST.CREATE_DATE,
            APINVOICE.INVOICE,
            APVENMAST.VENDOR_VNAME,
            APVENMAST.VEN_CLASS,
            APVENMAST.VENDOR
            FROM APVENMAST left outer join
            APINVOICE on APVENMAST.VENDOR = APINVOICE.VENDOR and
            APVENMAST.VENDOR_GROUP = APINVOICE.VENDOR_GROUP
            WHERE APVENMAST.VENDOR_GROUP = 'ULNA'
            AND APINVOICE.INVOICE is null
