Is anyone interfacing with Cerner Surgi-Net to manage OR inventory

Hi all, I'm new to Lawson Guru, so any help at all is appreciated! Who out there is in charge of maintaining their company's item master, or is familiar with their company's process We're always looking at ways to streamline our methods, and it would be nice to know any tips or tricks we can use. If you respond, please answer the following questions: 1) What is your process for adding new items 2) What is your process for item revisions/changes 3) How much time do you spend doing b...

I am trying to change the manufacturer code on 47 items in IC11 from KHC to COVD. The COVD code is in IC14. It has a description, but no division value. I'm using an addin for IC11, but getting the following error: Invalid manufacturer code/division I don't understand why I'm getting this error when COVD exists in the IC14. Any ideas

Where is the average cost in IC12 pulled from I have several items where the price in PO25.6 does not match the IC12 Average cost figure. When the item is ordered (LUM) the average cost from IC12 is being pulled into the PO instead of the price from the Vendor Agreement. As a result, we are receiving price discrepancies. Bev

Hello, My health system is using V10 of Lawson and cannot find a report that would show us Inventory Turns. Would anyone be willing to share your formula for this important calculation From what I have been told, we never could calculate Inventory Turns from Lawson. Coming from the manufacturing world I find it a little difficult to believe a procurement software does not have this capability. Any help you an give me would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone - we're getting a weird error here. We issued a PO a few days ago but we have to update the quantity. After we made the change, the buyer tried to release it but we're getting 'Cannot release. Line dists out of balance'   I've never seen this before, does anyone have insight

Since we have been on Lawson our Surgery department has not been on a perpetual inventory. Once we inquired Cerner as our ERM system, we purchased the interface which Lawson would send the item file to Cerner and Cerner would send usage back to decrement inventory in Lawson. We have set up a SURG location in IC12 of items that are going to Cerner, this list of items include consignment items, bill only items and supplies which totals to over 3,000 items. We were wondering if any other hospital h...

Is it possible to print the MSCM delivery document when receiving in PO30  There are times where PO30 is needed to receive instead of using MSCM and staff would like the normal MSCM delivery document with barcode to print.

How complex would it be to write our own IC527 out side of Lawson like a PHP program to create the interface to PICIS Has anyone not use IC527 and used something else instead

Hey All,    I was wondering if any of you are using the Remit to substitution function and hopefully someone could explain to me exactly where it's grabbing the Lawson Value.    Trading Partner specific remit to code   Field Value Comments/Examples List name _I_REMITTO Your value ...

We will be using one Punchout vendor. Our tester said everything was returning as an X type. I was told we need the appropriate value in RLN-ITEM-TYPE. The vendor is passing over a field called ItemType with the value of S or X. How do I get the ItemType from our vendor into RLN-ITEM-TYPE

Is it possible to modify IC140 so the output shows average cost  Materials would like to review cost prior to PO100.   Or is there a different place other than PO100 or PO254 to see the cost by item for inventory PO's by date range   Thanks.

Hello Fellow Members,   I was looking to get an idea of what the average inventory accuracy is out there Running IC286 really only gives you an absolute picture but its a start. A bit off the Lawson path,  I was also wondering if anyone has a picking policy they would be willing to share. We are battling inventory accuracy that seems to be rooted in pulling errors.

Hi All... MSCM does a great job working with UPS/FedEx when capturing the tracking numbers and keeping count of how many were scanned. I would love to use this same functionality with vendors delivering directly to the hospital or things being delivered by freight companies. Does anyone have any practices that allow these types of deliveries be captured with dock logging when tracking number or bar codes are not provided Then, if something is dock logged, it can most likely be miscellaneous ...

Good Afternoon,   I will apologize now if this is not the right section of the forum to ask this but I was wondering what system you are using to manage invoice,packing slips, other documents related to purchasing if you are on Infor's  cloud-suite     We are currently on V10 and use Image Now but we had a demo of cloud-suite and we are considering if we want to start storing them in Lawson and get rid of image now when we upgrade.  I am just curious if anyone has ever looked at it and what...

In Lawson Version 10, how do you set the delivery dates from a vendor so that they default to only weekdays (M-F) and excludes weekends

We are going through an upgrade from V9 to V10. The queries I have saved seems not to work to be used with version 10. Does anyone knows a trick to make my saved queries work on version 10  or Do I need to set new ones for the new V10  Any input I will really appreciate it.

Just created an enhancement request to make ED40 readable to other issue methods. At Inforum they mentioned they were having difficulty coming up with a solution that would fit everyone and it occurred to me that we have already all figured out a way to map the PO header to an account for EDI.  If instead of TPID_O the POs issued to Paper/Fax/Email looked for PO_O records we would be fine. At any rate, I'm going to see if I can bribe my IT to at least put it on the wish list for IPAs. :)

A number of years back, we brought in a consultant to assist bringing up some vendors on EDI.  It was really more a matter 'horsepower', compared to a 'technical' assignment, but I was certainly willing to pick his brain while he was available.  The biggest learning I got out of it was the use of the asterisk (*) as a wildcard.  So, as an example, if we had a line set up as   tpid_I_VENDOR     |     123456789     |     *       all incoming accounts for a specific GSID/tpid would translate to t...

Looking to implement centralized receiving for our IDN and would like to see how others have gone about. Right now we are discussing having all ground PO's default (automatically) to our central warehouse with Priority PO's heading directly to the sites (Manual process).  Would like any insight on pro's and con's and any mapping you could share would be great!!

Hello,   We are looking to prioritize Rush/Hot/Stat orders for our requestors using RQC to place orders. Our requestors are just getting familiar with RQC and fax in manual orders to communicate Hot orders currently. However, one department has been using the comment field to communicate urgency. Ideally, we would like to have a more formal way to prioritize these orders in Lawson.

We are merging our SC departments and the parent organization does not allow the use of Access for when we migrate to their platform, we are looking at ways that we can do mass matches of item files for contracting and other purposes from a third-party file to Lawson. Today, we take the third-party file and use an Access database that will do the matching. The only thing we need to do is format the spreadsheet, ensure the column we want to match to is named correctly and make sure the sheet we a...

We are in the process of implementing our office supply vendor through Infor Punch Out. We are about 90 implemented but ran into an issue with the desktop delivery piece. Our vendor needs the requester ID/name in order to know where to deliver the supplies, however the Punch Out functionality does not send this through the cXML file.  In order to go live, we need this information sent to the vendor.  We are looking into EDI as an option but I do not believe the requester information is sent i...

We have been asked to create a .csv import template for Lawson from our project data set.  I have searched but cannot a template that we could use to create the .csv file.
