We are looking to start using barcodes on PARs/Inventories with our handhelds and eventually anything else that will help process things quicker. I was frankly shocked when I was sent the supported label printers,  Intermec 3400E, Zebra 105SL, Zebra 110xiIIIPlus, Zebra Z4M, not only due to their price, but the Zebra Z4M was taken out of production in 2004 and is no longer supported by Zebra. I am hoping I can get some guidance. What does everyone else use for barcode printing Is it really n...

What tables would I use to get a list of all the items we have with no purchase history

I'm looking for a vendor who offers catalog solutions to make searching our Lawson inventory easier for the end users.  Anything out there

Would anybody know why would the HCCHRGITEM FILE be empty We run program IC527 to interface with OR PICIS and we are having issues with items not having a price/cost = 0 when they should have a cost.

I am new to MSCM and looking for higher level overview of how MSCM and HH devices work. Is there a Lawson program that takes the orders and upload via HH I run the par counting report to review Par counts.

I'm searching for a report that shows the 'Current Days Stock On Hand' as displayed in IC44.1. I'm also looking for this field in Lawson Add-ins: Query so I can build a custom report if needed.   Does anyone know if a report exists with this information   Thanks, Rob Carignan Mercy Hospital Portland, Maine

How can I use the IC24 to change the cost information that is showing in the IC12 drill down

When we create PO's based on requisitions, if a requester does not select the vendor for an item, but we have the vendor assigned in PO13, is there a way to have the system assign the vendor when the requisitions are brought into the PO module from RQ

We received a LUM order where one of the lines did not pull in the product code. In PO20, the F212 populated the Lawson Item number instead of the product  code. My buyer is telling me the product code needs to go in the F212 field on PO20 so that it displays on the invoice for our Receiving department. I checked PO25.6, PO13.3, IC12 and IC11 and the correct product code is present. Does anyone know why/how the Lawson number would get populated in this field instead of the product code

I have a Crystal Report in which I am displaying a list of Items from the ITEMMAST table.  I need to display the active Vendor (Name and Number) for each Item.  I know that the vendors are listed in the APVENMAST table; however, my report is retrieving the wrong Vendor.   The cause of the problem could be the fact that there are multiple contracts for the Item.  If this is the case, could I retrieve the correct Vendor by looking at the POVAGRMTLN table and retrieving the contract for the Item ...

We are trying to interface receiving adjustments and running into errors upon processing the file.  The file layout is apparently incorrect per Infor.  We are looking for a sample MA531 adjustment file that works successfully so that our interface/developer can mock the format.   Client is on v10.  Thanks in advance!

Hi All We have our process concerning receiving goods from the outside and into Lawson.  We also have our process for managing the packing lists from all of the incoming receipts.  We are wondering how some of the other Lawson users manage the incoming goods and the paperwork associated with the receipt. Right now, we enter the incoming info in PO30.  Once the PO number is released, we write on the packing list:  the receiver number, date and signature.  Then, we have a pile of packing lists a...

I was able to add a couple hundred requisitions and lines with add-ins.  Now, after reviewing/editing them, I need to mass release them.  How can I do this with add-ins  Or, another way   I can see the req header status and attempted to change with add ins.  I got 'change complete - no lines changed' and since the status on the lines didn't change, the requisition didn't change. I can't find the req line status using addins so I can change it in order to change the whole requisition.   An...

Hello everyone, Is it possible to create the same item in IC81 with two different UOMS  The WH would like to deliver to certain par locations in boxes and other areas in eaches dues to space constraints.  I am not sure how to set this up.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ardra

We have upgraded to MSCM 10.1.5.2 and after this we are unable to login using the MSCMADMIN. Any thoughts would be appreciated. thank you

Hello Again All I am looking for some of your best practices when your teams receive too much of something and processing payments/credits.  Example:  We order 10 EA of item XYZ.  The PO says 10 EA of item XYZ.  The vendor sends 15 EA of item XYZ. There is a constant struggle between the Storeroom and our AP team.  Referencing the above situation, our Storeroom believes the best practice is to receive the 10 EA of item XYZ and send the remaining 5 EA back to the vendor.  AP says this is wrong ...

Nobody can log in to MSCM, getting an invalid user name/password, any suggestion where I can start looking to troubleshoot this Thanks

LeMaitre acquired Vasutech. In IC14, we had a manufacturer code of VASC for Vasutech. After the acquisition, the description for VASC in IC14 was changed to LeMaitre. The pricing had changed as well, but the items were left on a pricing agreement titled Vasutech. The original vendor code remained (4826), but the description was changed from Vasutech to LeMaitre. This doesn't seem to be the way it should have been handled and I've found many other similar instances. Can anyone share thi...

Good morning!!   My name is Trish (System Analyst II) and we here at Medical Center Navicent Health are 105 days on Lawson/Infor. I became full time on the project 90 days before go-live, so my main goal at that time was conversion and not learning task (if that makes any sense).  We have implemented Supply Chain and Finance with HR/PR in the future.  Today I have been tasked with creating Procedures for these two (SC/AP) areas.  Before I begin creating, I wanted to reach out to see if anyone ...

We have a particular item that we receive a discount on if we purchase in bulk order.  Currently this item is set-up with a Lawson number and the pricing is if it is not purchased in bulk. Is it possible to set this item up with a UOM as bulk or can anyone share their practice with me  Currently any bulk orders are requested as a special.  Thank you

Both our Sterile Processing and Operating Room inventories are currently perpetual inventories. We struggle with the usual problems of returns to SPD, buttons not being pushed in the Omnicells in OR, etc.  Right now, the OR is stocked from either SPD or a vendor depending on an item and SPD is stocked by either our main storeroom or a vendor. We are starting to investigate moving one or both of these inventories (SPD and/or OR) to PAR locations and I just wondered if anyone had any advice/thoug...

Hey everyone,   Long time lurker, first time poster. We're a fairly large health system who just went live with Lawson 10.0 at 3 of our hospitals.  I'll get right into it. Medline has different vendor numbers for the same item depending on the UOM. for example:   IV cath - B-D383335 for the Case IV cath - B-D383335Z for the Box   We have a single Lawson number for this item and it has multiple PO13s, one for the Z item number and one without (this one is the default po13)   ...

Not all of our items are under a contract which means they show up as '0.00' in RQC or RQ10. This can confuse department level employees because the requisition will give them an error since there's no price.  So far our process has been to have the requestor put in a price of $1 which should signal our buyers to do research on what the actual pricing may be but the requestors still get confused. To limit some of these '$0.00' cost items, we've created fake contracts in PO25 that correspond to ...

We have LUM orders that transmit EDI to Owens & Minor. They are set up as fill/kill orders because O&M doesn't backorder LUM items.   My buyer team informed me on Friday that when/if they get invoiced for a LUM item on a PO where the line is already closed, they have no way of knowing if we received the item (line would be closed when Receiving receives the item in PO30) OR if the order was killed by the Distributor. They are telling me since the amounts are so small, they are just assuming w...

We have a situation where one vendor sells the item as '10EA/BX' and the other vendor sells it as 1 EA (but in this case, the EA is actually just referring to the box). We have decided to switch to the vendor who sells it by the EA but would still like to keep the actual packaging string (10ea/bx).   The problem is, when the PO is put through, the vendor will reject it because they don't recognize the BX UOM. Any ideas
