We are implementing some new Surgery systems and they want to pull the item data from the Lawson Item Master.  But, our policy for adding an item to our Item Master is that is has to be an item that will be ordered frequently.  We don't want to clutter our item master up with items that may only be ordered once a year. However, surgery has several items that may only be used once a year or two and they believe that EVERY item they have on the shelves should be entered into Lawson in order to ...

This may be basic but I am having a hard time finding how to set this up. We are looking at going LUOM in several departments. I think I understand how to set up the ED40 table but am not sure how to get the department to appear on the PO (PO20). Is there a setup on RQ01 I am missing The department I am working with has the 'From Location' pointing to our main storeroom so this is what appears on the PO rather that the departments location code.

Our buyers currently manage requisitions by department. The new Purchasing manager wants to change the process so they manage reqs by vendor. Is it possible to have one req with multiple lines with items that will go to different departments If so, how would that work from an ordering perspective Also, would there be a way for receiving to determine where each item would get delivered if everything came in on one shipment She is also considering having ordering schedules, where departments w...

Our materials management department is trying to determine if it is feasible to store the UDI numbers on implantable devices in Lawson. Has anyone had experience with this topic

Hello - We are looking to better manage our current process of replenishing reprocessed items as well as adding more items to be eligible as a cost savings initiative.  If anyone is willing to share their process/inventory mgmt methods/best practices it would be greatly appreciated.   My list of questions to date (but feel free to share anything you deem helpful): 1.  Do you use 1 Lawson number to replenish either from the OEM or Reprocessed vendor, or separate Lawson numbers for each  If se...

I'm looking to see if anyone has a SQL script they'd be willing to share.  We're trying to put together one that provides everything that has been received but not delivered.  We're struggling with the MSCM tables and was hoping someone else has already put something similar together.

We have recently been seeing an increase in our Bill Only POs where some of the lines on the requisition do not get autoreceived Has anyone else had this issue and know of any resolution

The PO100 that was run, had filters set to pull Inventory type items. That was the only filter set. (I included at attachment) 11 items did not get pulled. What I noticed was this: 7 items had Tracking set to N in IC12. 3 items had an inactive buyer. These were on the error report, so I know what the issue is with these. 2 items did not have a unit cost in PO23.   With the filter being set to 'I' for Inventory, would that exclude the items that had the Tracking set to N Would the un...

Hello Gurus, I'm trying to delete an IC12 record, but I got an error 'cannot delete; receipts exist.'.  I checked and there are no receipts.  Can someone please help Thank you for your time! Lost & Confused

Our organization has ran into issues with Item Numbers being reused in the past. This primarily occurs when a prior Item Number is no longer active and a new item is assigned to the number. The idea has been brought up that we should only allow for an Item Number to be used one time and once it is used, the number will no longer be used.  1 - has anyone else implemented this idea 2 - is there a configuration that allows for the Item Number to be generated

I use Lawson to manage our retail service stores in the automotive industry.  We have 2,500 stores and many requests for new vendor setups each day.  I am a new Vendor Master and the only Lawson Vendor Master at my company.  Does anyone know a better way of setting vendors up in Lawson other than having requests come in via email with PDF documents  This creates double data entry tasks when the requestors does it and then I have to type in vendor information to set them up. It would be nice if ...

MSCM handheld users need access to RQC for Special & Service item approvals. We want MSCM users to enter Special & Service in RQC and go thru normal Processflow approvals, just like RQ04 requesters with  RQ04 rec set to '2'  'Line using Processflow'.  MSCM users have RQ04 rec set to '3'  'No Approvals required'.   If RQ04 rec for MSCM users is '2' , handhelds do not work.  How can we resolve this We want MSCM users to continue to use handhelds, AND enter Special & Service items on RQC ...

What application version of Lawson are you using we are using v9.0.1 msp7 I am going to try to add a poll to simplify answers. If that doesn't work, I will compile the answers. Thanks!

We are exploring the use of a RFID inventory management system, Cardinal CIMS (formerly Wavemark), with Lawson for our Heart and Vascular areas. It will require four interfaces; Item Master (outbound), Requisition (inbound), PO (outbound), and On Hand (inbound for managing on hand quantity in inventory). Anyone have experience interfacing with CIMS/Wavemark or any other inventory system Any advice or issues we should keep in mind Thanks!

I have a user who created a req for 2 items, one a service, and one a special for the same vendor. When the PO100 was run, 2 PO's were created instead of 1. Why would they have not gone on the same PO Is it because they are 2 different types.

I have entered an org that has utilized Standard Costing Method for over a decade.  STD takes quite of bit of maintenance, and I was hoping to use Average... but Im concerned with what I am giving up in the swap. STD Cost requires an entry in every IC12 and IC81 loc, which we have TONS of... which makes maintenance a nightmare. However, AVG is an unknown to me.  It doesn't capture price changes effectively near as I can tell.  EX: Item ordered for 100 for 5 years, then price change to 50 recen...

Going from HEMM to Lawson v11. I worked in Lawson V10 in the past and disliked having PO's print 1x per hour. I never got a straight answer why this is the case. HEMM world Po's print on demand. Is this the case in Lawson and I had been lead down a wrong path Any clarification you can provide would be great. PO print will happen few and far in between, but it will happen. Thanks!

We have an item that any time it is used on a requisition, it will not pull through from the PO100 to PO20.  This item gets hung up in PO23 and has to be forced through to PO20.  We have verified the item is active, set up correctly, has a cost, is attached to a contract and we are still unable to get this item to go through.  Does anyone have a suggestion on what else we could verify and or change to get the item to stop kicking out

Can anyone share their schedule set-up with me     The way we have it set up right now seems very convoluted, and I'm wondering if there's a simpler way to do it. Our current set up is:   Requisition submitted - triggers email to Approver I After 2 hours - First Reminder email to Approver I After 3 hours - Second Reminder email to Approver I After 4 hours - Escalation - email to Approver II After 6 hours - First Reminder email to Approver II After 7 hours - Second Reminder email to Ap...

Does anyone have a process as to how they build construct items in Lawson  We just started using them and my fear is that we are going to lose all of the component usage if we build the construct as an item number.

We are looking to manager our IT supplies via Lawson.  Idea is to setup a Par Location vs. a Inventory Location (that isn't part of the Financial books)   Thoughts and Ideas

We are trying to process a capital requisition in RQC. We have approval path set up for capital request.  The request will not process.  The requester receives an email stating 'There is no Accounting unit associated with the Activity on the Requisition 0000231 released by you and so the flow has ended. Please make changes to the requisition and release it again.'  The activity shows the accounting unit under AC10.  Is there another screen that needs to be updated for the activity
