    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 Lawson had someway of allowing requestors to enter the data in Lawson and allowed Vendor Masters to verify the data.  If this isn't possible has anyone out there successfully found an alternative solution to work with something like this? 

    Also, could something like this be done for changes to existing vendor records (i.e. change of address).

      I have not done this, but maybe you could develop a spread sheet that would allow you to use Addins. You could require the stores to fill in the information into an Excel spread sheet and email them to you. This would also allow you to review them before updating.
