We are having a problem with EDI failures due to an invalid shipto being chosen by the Requestor for the vendor on the PO. I am unsure if it is due to us using a wrong set-up or if it is how Lawson is designed to be used. We spend a large amount of time every day on these. We do just-in-time delivery with our med/surg distributors and desktop delivery with our office supply and janitorial vendors. Therefore, Requestors may have several shipto's they use: 1) Receiving Dock - this is the sh...

My director is asking me to run a Crystal report to find the top 10 suppliers for the last FY. What tables would hold this information

We are looking to see what is the best way to zone order for inventory so that seperate orders are generated for different areas of our storeroom to ease put away. It has been suggested to us to assign different Buyer ID's on IC12 and then run seperate PO100 jobs for each buyer to create seperate PO's. Is there a better way

I am working on a project at work trying to set up short names to work with the standard UNSPSC code list. Has anyone done anything similar with their short names. This is also going to be used in conjunction with a project that someone else is doing in order to make sure perferred items are being ordered versus specials. I was wondering if anyone else was doing anything like this with their lawson system. Basically, how do you determine the layout of the shortname description and what is ...

How would I find the last purchase date for all items in the ITEMMASTER table

Using  iSeries 7.x - PO's that are printed have the new logo and billing address on them but when we auto fax a PO it still has the old logo and billing address. The first copy is the PO printed (has the new  logo and billing address). The second copy was auto faxed (has the  old logo and billing address).  It's the same PO number but the logo  and billing address if different.  Is there any way of getting this updated

Hi, does anyone have a nonstock item set up with two different ordering UOM I have it set in IC11 with both BX and BG as 'BUY' unit of measures, one set to 1, one set to 2. When I try to add the item to PO25 one with BX one with BG and the corresponding pricing, I receive error message 'UOM MUST MATCH FLAG MUST BE Y FOR ITEMS WITH MULITPLE UOM'     Is it possible to set up one item, with 2 different buy uom and to have pricing pull from PO25 thanks, Sheri

when running PO280, it does not include inactive item master. Any reason as to why

We are looking at changing our entire GL structure (yes, I know we are crazy). How many characters is the GL Account number (we call those object codes and other places call them expense accounts) I see that in GL00 size=6 for GDT-Account, but we are confused since we see several other things. We were wanting to move to 6 digit account numbers for expenses, but now are not sure if it has to be 4. GL00 has GDT-ACCOUNT (Account) as size=6 IC11 has ITE-ISS-ACCOUNT (Issue Account) as size=6 IC...

I have a situation where I have a manufacturer part number that needs to be changed.  I make the revisions in IC11; However, the new manufacturer's part number listed in some of my par locations (IC12) remains the same.  Should a change in IC11 not have a global effect  If not, is there a way to make a global change  Thanks for your help in advance.

There's been this buzz for years about how health systems need to look at supply utilization to reduce expenses. Tightening down contracts is good but it only goes so far and it's hard to get blood from a stone. Lawson is developing their Supply Chain Analytics tool but it's in it's infancy and does not integrate clinical information. Perhaps their Clinical Bridge will help with this in the future. Does anyone out there have a good system now that integrates supply chain data (mgf, mfg item , u...

Does anyone have experience uploading to IC58 & IC64 in 9.0.1 for GLNs We are setting up our first vendor with GLNs and are having to load about 500 deliver to's in the IC64. We were hoping this could be done with an upload, but have not been able to find any documentation. Also, anyone else have experience in setting up GLNs with 9.0.1 Everything we have been able to find has been on 9.0.0 or earlier which did not have the GLN modules. The Lawson provided information has been just vague en...

We are fairly new to the Lawson inventory and I was wondering how other people handle this: Do you have multiple inventory locations or one inventory location and several pars Our Cath lab is wanting an 'inventory tracking system' but we aren't wanting to setup another inventory location and have to manage it (close it monthly, etc...). How do you handle this  Can a Par be setup with stock and non-stock items and that could be used so they could get a 'count' of what is available  Can ...

Does anyone have their vendors assigned to a particular buyer and if so how did you set it up . Let me first give you some insight of our current setup. All buyers are currently assigned to Requesting Locations on the RQ01.  We also have two VPA's for our prime vendor. One VPA for bulk hospital deliveries and one for Clinic sites that require  delivers of small UOM's ,these requesting locations are tied to this Clinic VPA by using participants. Every vendor has one VPA (po25) setup with the divi...

In another thread, I sort of digressed into a quick speech on Master Data Management (MDM).  If you are not familiar with the concept, you can search for the term via your favorite tool.  Personally, I quoted a bit of R. Wolter and K. Haselden (The What, Why and How of Master Data Management) in a 'whitepaper' I was writing to try and justify my organization investing in MDM.  Admittedly, it seems like a far stretch for many healthcare organizations ('our ERP/EHR/Revenue Cycle App does what it n...

Has anyone ever seen where the order displaying in IC81 does not match the IC281 Par Worksheet report

I created 2 new par locations in IC81. I logged into MSCM and was able to add them to my user, however when he logs into the hand held, they are not showing up in the list of parforms.

We want to implement mobile store rooms / warehouse on our vehicles. Anyone done this with Lawson  Any pointers How would we restock from our main warehouse to these mobile storerooms  Would we need to setup a location for each vehicle on IC02  Thanks for any feedback. Jim Ollerton

I am responsible for sending out the recall notifications the hospitals get, and was given a booklet on Lawson recall management software to look at. It currently takes quite a lot of time to run all the reports I have to run on usage and get all the necessary data collected. Tracking can be a mundane task also with my current process. Does anyone know where to find information on the Lawson Recall Management I have looked on the infor site, and am unable to find it. I tried Google, but it...

We have been live with Mobile Supply Chain for about 18 months and are looking into finally starting a project on Advanced Ship Notices for our major distributor.  Anyone have any words of wisdom we should know about Does MSCM play well with ASN or are we going to have issues Anything you can tell me would be great. We held off on ASNs when we first went live with Lawson in '08 because testing with the distributor failed. Today, we receive all of our perpetual inventory items for our ma...

We are changing several pars from pull stock to non-stock par (order from the vendor).  Has anyone ever successfully uploaded to IC82.2 I have gotten a map to return the result: Item detail entered, transmit to update This is what I would get if I went to IC81, clicked More, changed my info and then clicked OK. What's missing is that I now need to 'click change' on IC81.1 I thought it was the HK field at the bottom of the IC81.2 fields but putting a C there returns the result: Must ...

Does anybody know a way to upload the cost in Lawson to a new ship-to location so it doesn't cause first-order errors For instance: When a user orders an item in RQC, if there is an established cost history for that item for the location they're ordering from, it's no problem. But when we change the location, that cost history doesn't transfer over, and it causes an error for the user that says they need to enter a cost. Perhaps there's a paint screen or upload that we can use to copy over the ...

We are on a windows platform remote hosted by Velocity. Our fax integrator is having issues reading the files in the Fax/out dir.  From our log we can see the integrator logging in to the core server and the fax/out dir.  From there we get these error messages below.  Have a case open with Lawson since 12/15 and no results.  Does anybody have a clue of what is going wrong here Thanks: 12/19/2011 2:56:10 PM : l_TRACE : Checking /fax/out 12/19/2011 2:56:10 PM : l_TRACE : FtpCopy.ListDir 12/19...

Is it possible to define an ED02 record in such a way that I can make use of one set of FTP credentials and then create two ED02 records that will define in and out directories (i.e. in for invoices, out for POs); or can ED02 direct to the default home directory of the login, thus requiring two separate sets of credentials

We are changing our main supplier and I was going to us the Lawson Excel upload wizard to change out our Main Supplier in the IC12.2 screen, but I am wondering about using the IC330 form.  Has anyone done a large vendor change (going from vendor 'A' to vendor 'B') using this form And any issues, etc.  Thanks for any feedback!  :)
