So I basically inherited an audit, Infor wants to audit all of our 'S3' stuff, but I'm NOT a Lawson guru and I can't figure out what all they want to audit. For example our POF has 'Vendor Self-Service' and 'Purchase Order' -- is that S3 How can I tell Is there a list somewhere of all the products that are S3 products There's not much helpful on infor's web site, they have no support and the content is all market droid junk. None of the supply chain stuff seems to match up.

Currently we use Lawson for our business ERP and Epic as our clinical system. We are in the need of a new cost accounting software. I thought a good place to start my search is with other Lawson clients. What software do you use Are you a healthcare entity

So after purchasing Lawson 5 years ago, going live 4 years ago, and having gone through a license review and true-up less than 3 years ago, now we receive notice from Infor that we must take place in yet another license review. http://www.infor.com/company/licensemanagement/  It appears Infor is going to require all customers to install some software that will run for up to 6 weeks.  The purpose of the software is to monitor and report usage stats in order to build a clear licensing pictur...

We are in the vendor seleciton process for a ERP system. It has come down to two vendors. Lawson is one of those being considered. Please share your experience with Lawson, the implentation process and support. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried searching on a couple of very basic things...pgmdef, scrgen...add ins....and I get nothing. No results. I don't get it. They have disabled the old KB, and yet the new one isn't working :crazy:

Griping. The KnowledgeBase on mylawson.com is still not available as of today Monday June 6 after being down for the past 5 days. I called Lawson and the guy said it will be down until mid week at the earliest. I guess it's down so they can remove all of the references to RSS Another black eye. I use the KB for searching patches, articles, etc. And now it's still down. This is a major software company with thousands of customers. Roger

Hello everyone, my name is Lars Rieser and I am currently employed by Maastricht University in the Netherlands where I am conducting research as a PhD student in the Information Management department. My dissertation will be about the timing of innovations in the various segments of the software industry. As part of this, I am currently creating a dataset containing the release and end of support dates of the flagship products of leading ERP vendors. The aim of this research is to establish a r...

I've seen this done in a Unix environment but does anyone have any suggestions for archiving reports that will be overwritten the next time the job is run - in a Windows environment It sure would be nice if Lawson had an option to keep output in an alternate location for all posting jobs at least. We only need this for Finance - - no payroll or HR Thanks!

With the ever increasing cost of Lawson (and other reasons), our Districts are considering moving away from Lawson to another product. We would like to convert at the end of a calendar year end (December 31st), but our support agreement is on a fiscal year basis (July). Lawson has indicated they would not provide support for a six month period. So I have a few questions: 1) Has anyone ran Lawson without Bronze or Silver support If so, what problems did you encounter 2) Are there any other ...

We just became aware according to the 'Lawson Product Life Cycle Maintenance Policy' that ISeries 9.0 Apps and LSF is going on extended maintenance Nov 11. Never received a Decomission Notice nor is it posted. Guess modules now are only decommissioned, but not apps and environment. Anyway, thoughts on upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1 with Infor10 up in the air etc., don't want to invest a bunch if have to move again soon. ISeries 9.0 just became GA in 2008, same time as 9.1 became GA. Can anyone t...

Consistency is great don't you think Is it me or is it just happenstance Anyways the new Download Center. It doesn't work. I've tried various computers all with Windows 7 or WinXP, using either IE or Chrome. Tried a couple different ID's. When I click on the word 'here' within the line 'Click here to access the new Download Center' on the following web page: https://mylawson.lawson.com/wps/myportal/InforDownloadCenter/ It doesn't actually bring you back to any web page where you c...

The purpose of the group is to: Provide a forum for effective communication of information between clients and Lawson; Provide networking opportunities and the exchange of ideas and strategies among users; Enhance user under...

Knowledgebase still seems to be very slow and unresponsive. I know they had an outage yesterday but it's still pretty much unavailable for me this morning. Frustrating! Thx, Roger

I've heard they layed off several hundred employees effective 7/18/2011. True

Hi All Just saw an article about 'Federal Judge Grants Injunction Shutting Down Lawson Software, Inc.'s Infringing Software Products and Services' Does anyone have any more details aout this and how it may effect the clients Regards Saurabh

I have recently read that Oracle has made the decision to not support the HP Itanium chip on Oracle 12g. We have three HP Superdome Itanium servers that run Lawson with full disaster recovery failover to a remote site. This has been a more than significant investment. How many other Lawson users are running on Itanium servers What are the best options to be considering This will also affect our clinical software which would have an even greater impact on the organization than Lawson...

Is the new development good for LAWSON Will it be a new start

Recently i was walking through Lawson site (www.lawson.com), I came to know that lawson have acquired Enwisen which provides HR solution to nearly 250 companies. Will it help Lawson Grow

I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and IE 8 on it. When I go to the lawson support site, I type in my user id and password but I can't log in. The screen refreshes, no error message, status bar displays 'Done'. I'm not having trouble with an other web sites. I checked the login is good on my old computer and also using Chrome on the new one. I have disabled popup blocker, reduced security level, made Lawson a trusted site, nothing is working.

We are in the infant stages of testing our DR strategy; we already have an off-site mirror (lpar'd AIX) that we run our DEV and TEST on and we replicate our local live data to the remote site. Then comes the 'looks pretty - but does it work' issue - which requires live testing. Has anyone completed this phase of testing and if so, can you share some lessons learned Thanks!

I am working on writing a proposal to submit to our internal Lawson Steering Committee to develop a standard practice of applying the many patches and updates released by Lawson on a set schedule.  Currently we apply them only if they are identified as 'needed' by one of the business owners of the different Lawson modules or we apply them when we encounter issues and the patch will solve the issue.   What I am proposing is that we keep current by applying quarterly cumulative patches.   I wo...

Anyone know where CUE 2010 is going to be held  Have they even picked a location yet  Wondering if they'll go back to Orlando. Jon

Interesting information about Lawson Software. Lawson might be getting shaken up a bit... Not sure what this will mean for all of us. (would love to be a fly on the wall in a Lawson conference room right now.) Here is the article: http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE64N5F320100524 Here is some information on Icahn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Icahn

For those of you who went to CUE but still may have some left over questions. Lawson VUE started this morning.

Can anyone tell me when support of 7.2.4 was discontinued  The year would be sufficient.
