When uploading par counts to the backoffice there is no error dialog box on the handheld device telling you there is a problem. You have to go view the mscm_server.log to see what the error was with the count send. Is this as designed What type of process do you use to resolve par count send/upload errors Thanks!

Just curious how everyone sets up their agreement files.  Do you currently utilize Contract Management  Do you have both 'C' and 'T' type agreements set up in PO25.6 for the same item   Before my time they used the company number, spaces and then the vendor code (example:  0100     B0000).  This is a mess to read through and makes it difficult for the users when they are inquiring on item information.  We are implementing Contract Management sometime in 2015 and since we are in the middle of...

I do not know if this is the correct forum to ask - But Does anyone have a policy/criteria/suggestions to when an  item should be added to inventory.  We have departments that request items to be added to the storeroom.  When I run potential obsolete IC227 report - we find the item were issued only 1 or 2 times.  Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have added the ED40 Vendor record and the I_NO_810_TERMS record to resolve these errors. (I'm following old documentation) My AP manager re-ran the MA540 and the same invoices are showing the same 2 errors. Does anyone else have any suggestions on how these can be corrected   Bev

My manager was hoping to poll some users. What fields do you populate in IC11 How are you using Inventory Major/Minor How are you using Purchasing Major/Minor Do you use UNSPSC codes If you are, how do they relate to Inventory/Purchasing Major Minor We have 120K active items and have noted that Family/Class in the UNSPSC would gives us 250 categories - a seemingly good classification system.  We were wondering how that compares to others....

We are trying to work through the best practice on how to receive an item on a PO that is really just a software download. How do others handle this  If someone requests the software and then the requisition is converted to a PO, how do they know when they can download it and then do they become responsible for 'receiving' that download

I have been asked to run a report to pull all items that fall under a specific budget for 2 different departments. Does anyone know what tables I would use to get this information   Bev

Looking to see how others hospital  accounts work the MA64 -weekly  anyone have any written processes to share

Is there a way you can manipulate what the Schedule Frequency is outside of the 4 options; W, B, M, Q

I am looking at Zimmer CMF products. It seems the vendor number differs based on the UOM. Example - Mfg number 123-456-789 Vendor number for 1 ea is 123-456-789-01 Vendor numbers for box of 5 is 123-456-789-05 How do you set these up in PO13 If I try to add two different vendor numbers for the same mfg item I get the error 'MFG item already exists'. I did add items without the mfg information and set up PO25's for the two vendo items and it seemed to work on PO20 but had some issues in RQC...

I have an item that was part of a req from MSCM that displayed the error 'Vendor location is invalid'. I have looked in Lawson, but do not know what this error is referring to or why it is happening. Has anyone ever seen this before or know how to correct it   Bev

Is there a report that will list the detail returned lines on a RQ (i.e. RQ35.1) I work for a hospital and we use requisitions to pick supplies for individual surgical cases. We'd like to work up an analysis to show the surgeons what they request for the surgery and what is being regularly returned. Any insight would be helpful. I have Excel add-ins for Lawson and can't quite figure out a query to do this.

Dumb question. Our AP office moved and we need to update the Invoice Remit to address on our POs. Which form is used to make that change. I have seen IF forms referenced but could not access the IF flow chart. Or does it reside in GL Setup   Thanks for you help.

We are in the process of a Lean Management initiative for all of our clinical units. Some units have more than one RQC user. Some have not been communicating very well and have placed duplicate orders when replenishing their items. Is there a way for an RQC user to go into Lawson to see if other orders have been placed for their own specific department They are trainied to print their reqs or save them electronically, but it seems they are placing orders w/o checking these two locations fir...

I am looking for any ideas on initial consignment inventory PO's, typically for zero dollars. Here are my thoughts... I set up a consignment agreement, all items to be inventored will be cataloged. Set up IC12 as consignment. (Does IC11's consignment flag need set too Is this more of a global setting) Issue a zero dollar PO to vendor to bring the product in. Now, if I run a valuation report won't it show no value since the PO is zero This would be incorrect since the inventory definitly ha...

Can someone tell me when a PO20 appears on the PO254 when the status of CLOSED is selected   Does it occur when the matched amount equal the PO20 amount Does it occur when Cancel remaining is  perofrmed  on a PO20 amount Does it occur when month end close is done and the PO199 and/or PO190 reports are run   Thanks. Purchasing is trying to have departments run the PO254 reports for Closed Status. But we are finding that the PO20 status is 'issued'  not 'closed', even though cancel rema...

Does anyone know what table the 'Open To Receive' field on PO64 resides on

I'm trying to build a report in Crystal using the MSCM tables on where the replenishment information is located on the item listed on the par.  I want it to list either the vendor or inventory location on where the item on the par is pointing to for replenishment.  If anyone can offer any insight it would be appreciated.   Thank You

I have several items (gloves) that were set up some time ago with BX as the lowest UOM, primary buy on a bulk agreement and 1 as the Conversion factor. Our distributor has made some changes and we can no longer buy BX as a bulk item from them so we needed to add CA to as a bulk item and move BX to a LUM agreement.  Now, when an order is placed via RQC and BX is chosen, (via a template) instead of the BX price (250 pr per box), we're getting and EA price.  How can I change this so the BX pr...

Hello-I was hoping someone could share how you manage linen in your facility.  Currently our linen supplier weighs our linen by bin (example 1 bin of blankets = approx. 300).  We upload a receipt into IC20 to receive it in; however the receipt is by pieces.  We constantely have discrepancies with the quantities.  Any suggestions on managing it another way would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You Brenda

Hi, We are looking into how to best utilize HCPCS codes in our Lawson platform. We are currently not storing this information within Lawson. Is there anyone that is familiar with using and managing these codes in Lawson Our end goal is to have our supply chain solutions integrate into our clinical and billing applications. Further allowing our end users to have quick access to up-to-date and accurate information that is provided from a single source of truth per say. Certainly let me know th...

I'm trying to change the vendor number for an item to another vendor number without adding a new PO13 record. It keeps telling me to inquire when I change the vendor number, use the 'C' function code and click change at the top of the form. What am I doing wrong because it will not change and I would rather not create another record for this item because there are several that are inactive already

I understand the PO25.7 Service Agreements expire with their end date, but that date could easily be change unless the Agreement is closed out. What is the difference between 'Close Agreement' and 'Close Committment' Once an Agreement is closed, then I know it cannot be reopend, but not sure if that applies to 'Close Committment'.   Thanks.

We have punchout in test and Prod. Our unix Admin created a new environment to test and I we are trying to point punchout to the new test environment. Is there a configurations file like rqcconfig.xml or mscm properties file for punchout  Where can I find the settings file

When we implemented Lawson 8.0.3, the consultant recommended that we instructed end users to add a to the beginning of the item number for X type items.  There was a bug in RSS where if the requester entered an item number that was in the item master on the Special/Service screen the cost and source information from the nonstock item would default.  So by putting a in front of the item number we worked around this issue.  That bug was fixed quite a while ago but we still use the for specia...
