Hi, My facility is about 6 months into Lawson implementation and I'm trying to figure out a process for consignment inventory. Based on the documentation I have seen, I feel like I should be bringing in initial inventory using IC20 (to bring it in at no charge) and setting up reorder points so that items are replenished automatically through inventory counts (IC140, PO 100). Assuming this is correct, what methods are people using to return unused inventory when the consignment agreement ends ...

End user here-keep it simple.    We have completed our year end physical inventory. When I go into IC12 and look up an item, there is a note saying ***ITEM LOCATION IS FROZEN***  I double checked with my inventory lead, and she said she did unfreeze everything. We can issue (IC21),  receive (PO30), and requisition just fine, but we cannot do a requisition return (RQ35 because it says items is frozen). Is there someplace I should be looking or is there a report I can run  I looked in IC7...

We use MSCM and would like to see if there's a way to add the bin onto the delivery document/ticket.  This would aide staff in more quickly identifying where the items needs to be put on the shelf.  Is there a way to do this  Or is there a stock report in Lawson that would get us what we need

After orders are built in our Par Ex system, files are generated and ftp'd to our HHT folder on the Lawson server. We then run and RQ500. After that, users are able to see the items on the hand held, so they can scan and issue out. What piece of this process sees the items to move them to the hand held   Anyone Bueller Bueller Bueller

We're having an issue with some items not coming across with a cost center or GL assigned.  The req. is showing it in RQ10 but when it gets to PO23 it's missing.  It's specific so far to one vendor and one buyer.  We have our buyers set up by cost center.  Has anyone run into this issue

For those that are interfacing unit cost over to your clinical system for patient charge pricing have you developed a policy surrounding the updating of those prices  We would like to gather some ideas from those that have a good process already established.  We currently update once per year but will be moving to twice per year and would like to create a policy to ensure compliance.

We have requests from time to time to change the cost center that an end user used for a requisition that has been received in or picked by our warehouse.  Is there a best practice someone could share on how to do this for both stock requisitions and non-stock requisitions

Is anyone doing this

Hello - We went live with MSCM/RAD last week.  The out of the box tracking label does not suit our needs & we want to customize it.  Looking for others that have already done this to learn details, pros/cons, etc.  Hoping to arrange a call with a willing party.  Please email me at beth.ruppuchealth.com.   Thanks much!

Hi Folks... I would like to use our mobile device for this year's physical inventory.  I want to be sure I would have all documentation I may be asked about.  Typically, we print the count sheets (IC272).  Then, as counting the product hand write the numbers on the count sheets.  Once a sheet is done, manually hand type the counts into IC72. If we use the mobile device, can we access the actual counts  Can I print an electronic equivalent of IC72 with the counts included  I am interested bec...

Looking to see what processes others have established for maintaining par levels in their IC81 par locations.  We use MSCM to help us count our par locations.  Usage patterns change so the levels set a month ago may not be sufficient today.  How successful have you been with using MSCM par counting   How do you initially establish your par levels for new locations Do you grant user access to update par levels on the handheld How often do you run IC182 Par Location Utilization What other ...

When cycle counting a location , how many bin ID groups are allowed In our current structure we have up to 33 sections in one row. Example: H010001-H337007. We are having difficulty freezing the whole row at one time. Our applications analyst was told,  by Infor , that only 20 sections (H010001-H200001) can be frozen. In the past we were able to freeze the entire row of 33 sections. Any help you could give us would be great.   Thank you for your time.

Hello, I am adding UNSPSC codes from Nuvia to Lawson, I have verified the UNSPSC code is correct between Nuvia and unspsc.org. When adding the code I receive the error message the Item Class Level Not Found. The IC16 is the only form I can find documentation on of where UNSPSC codes are added. Is there another form where I need to update the Segment, Family, Class, and Commodity as separate lists Thx.

(keep it simple.  I'm a learning user.  LOL!)   Does anybody else have Gremlins in their system  We are constantly having items 'disappear' off of requisition templates. It will disappear from just one template, not all of them.  Is there some way to see who is doing what in Lawson.  Are there settings we need to change or apply for the different users (I know nothing about the settings.)   This is getting frustrating having departments call all the time for items that disappear on their req...

User reports that she ran a PO100, but saw a message on the report that no data was pulled. The PO100 in the job schedule shows a successful completion but she overwrote the PO100 report after running the job a 2nd time. The PO's are not in PO23, however I ran a po254 report and see all of the unreleased PO's there. Why would they not flow to PO23 to be managed there She said the PO100 job she ran has the parameter for auto releasing PO's set to NO.

(keep it simple, I'm a simple user, not an IT person) Is there some way to run a specific vendor usage report  Can I define my parameters to a specific time frame We are looking at changing our ortho implants (which we own=inventory nightmare) to a different company that would consign the implants.  It would be helpful to the new company to see what implants we are actually using. Thank You

We have auditors asking us how we arrived at the issue price for an item. Using IC50, I can find where we issued the item, who we issued to, and at what price but how would I find the invoice or PO that specific item came on We use FIFO btw.

EDI transactions in Lawson have been working with a few exceptions. Upon working on one of the failures, Infor informed me that the script being used was old.   What is the consequence, if any, if they continue to use old GHX script and do up update to the current code   I want to be able to give them a valid business reason.

How do you guys handle the donation of stocked items We have some that we'd like to donate to a local company but we're not sure how exactly to do that in lawson...

Hi All   I'm looking to see if others could share some screen shots of their RQC.  We're looking to make some modifications.  Would like to see what others have done to make it more user friendly and provide more information to the requestors.  We haven't made any changes outside of the special item validation.

Hello, we have recently started uploading GTIN's to our item master and I am trying to create a SQL report to validate the information. The problem I am running in to is the IC11.7 field that the GTIN is put into does not seem to exist in the ICITEMGTIN table that a CntrlShiftO reveals. CntrlShiftO shows that the GTIN as a text string is located in ICITEMGTIN.GTIN-A. The Addins Upload that we use to populate the information is also pointed at GTIN-A. In the actual table and in Addins query h...

I am in the process of updating all of our active item master records (IC11) with their UNSPSC codes.  The table that stores all of them in the system is IC516.  Even though it's an 8-digit number, broken up into four 2-digit codes (Segment, Family, Class and Commodity) that each have a description, you are only allowed a short (20-character) and long (250-character) description for the entire 8-digit code.  So, I am interested in how others have handled this description issue in the past.

Hey all,   We're moving forward integrating some smaller companies into our health system. One of these companies has been using Cerner and so the decision was made to integrate it into our overall scheme. The problem is, we're not entirely sure how we designate when an item will be used in Cerner. Does anyone have experience or solutions for this issue    Thanks

We are in the process of updating our manual Capital Requisition process.  Have any other customers used RQC for Capital  We have requirements to obtain approvals from Biomed, Facilities Enginieering and IT before a Capital can be processed.  We also would like to keep all source documentation associated with the capital purchase attached to the request as needed.

Hi all! A buyer is getting an error message when trying to release PO20.  The error is 'Message Not Found (POPCR/590)'.  Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it Thank you for your time!
