We have an issue where we have to issue purchase orders to a certain company (we have seperate EDI 's) but when the invoices come through MA540 the remit to is a different company with several divisions. For example, we buy from Codman, Depuy, Ethicon, etc but when the invoices come through MA540 the remit to is Johnson and Johnson so the match errors our and the purchasing agents have to go change the PO vendor to Johnson and Johnson so the invoice from EDI can match. What would Lawso...

Does anyone have a list of buyer's skill set that they developed prior to a S3 implementation  I'm looking to understand what skills will be critical to a buyer's future success working in S3 - Procurement.         

Very new to Lawson Short question, pulling My Reports / Procurement / Vendor Spend... can you pull multiple vendors  Company trainer does not think so but maybe someone knows a trick or two

I wanted to see how everyone else determines what/how to create the short names for Lawson S3 with the 30 character limit.  As we all know, medical product names can be quite long.  Is there one standard that has been found to be better than other in the naming convention  I am looking for input on how everyone else is doing it.

We're running LFI 9.0.0.2171 on a Windows XP machine sitting in our fax room. Occasionally, and recently more often, the application just crashes for no apparent reason. The log shows nothing. Sometimes it's not discovered until the next day resulting in delayed deliveries and some angry docs. Is there anyone that knows how to write a script that can monitor whether a program is running and if not shoot an email out to someone to notify them Or better yet, a script that will launch LFI ...

Hi! Is there a way to approve invoices that are a result of blanket POs  Is there a way to request a blanket PO in Lawson, i.e., RQ10 for regular POs

Hello - We are new to PriceGuide & need to submit a 12 month data set.  They are recommending I use PO253 & PO254, & I have not used either of these jobs before.  Would anyone be willing to share some screenshots Thanks in advance, Beth

Is it possible to set up a vendor agreement line with a max order qty, that when met, the order will not EDI  For example a vendor states that they have x amount of product left to purchase, so this item would be placed on this contract and count up or down as each order is placed, and when the x amount has been purchased all other orders will not EDI.

Is there a screen or an alternative to find prior months ending inventory balance for an Item at a company location.   Thanks in advance.

We are writing some reports on PO Line data out of our 9.0.1 S3 Procurement application and have run into a bit of a snag.  The issue I have run into is if we partially cancel a PO line that had multiple quantity or amount distributions.  Is there anywhere in the database where it states which distributions got cancelled For example you order 20 of an item at $10 Each.  Using the Mult button, this line is split between 10 at Acct Unit 1 and 10 at Acct Unit 2.  7 are recei...

Is there a way to sort the listing of agreements in PO28 where the agreements not on hold or expired appear at the top of the list  Thanks,  Metrazal

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of categories, category descriptions with relevant UNSPEC codes to forward please Also, can anyone forward me a comprehensive list of supplier vetting questionnaires to upload onto the supplier registration portals please I work within the Healthcare sector in Qatar.

We have had instances where the vendor sends multiple invoices per PO line, when only 1(qty) is ordered. The vendor breaks down the '1' and then invoices us for the breakdown, giving us multiple invoices per line/qty of 1. Other than to keep changing the PO line (qty, dollar amount etc.) is anyone doing anything different *Should Lawson accept more than one invoice per line (when qty ordered is one, but vendor sends more than once invoice)

Any invoice arriving via EDI receives our company level handling code default of 1.  However, drop ship invoices require a handling code of 4, which means all drop ship EDI invoices currently error out when trying to match.  I've read that we can set a vendor level handling code default, which would over ride our company default for that vendor.   However, this would only solve the problem if all shipments from the specified vendor came as drop ship, which isn't the case...

Prior to the invention of PO13.3 when we added lines to PO25.6 with function code B - Lawson would populate the manufacturer information from IC11 into PO13. Apparently this stopped at some point and manufacturer codes and part numbers now appear as blanks in a tremendous number of our searches (Item by PO Vendor on PO20 being the largest concern.) Is anyone uploading with this mapped successfully from PO25.6 Are you populating PO13 directly  Is this just a bug on my database

Anyone have any insight into what changes in the Infor version 10 Fax Integrator I don't want to go through a lengthy testing and install process just to have nothing change but the logo. -Greg

I've created an informational survey looking at industry, occupation, geography, education and salary for users of Infor Lawson applications. The survey is completely anonymous. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9T3XXST The survey will be available for 30 days and I will post the results afterward.

In Contract Management, is there any kind of manual or automatic synchronization that is set up between CM and LSF application databases  If so where is that documented I can't find or see anything relating to synchronization in the guide named 'Infor Lawson Supply Chain Management Applications, built with Landmark Installation Guide' Any one have any idea how the synchronization works or is set up Thank you, Roger

Hi - Does anyone know how to enter serial number ranges into inventory instead of one serial number at a time I couldn't get PO39. to do that, is there another form or a program

How can PO100 convert only those requisitions created by Punchout and not the others

Has anyone altered the RQC config to make the Priority field accept numeric values Currently in RQ10, it's a number 01-99 but in RQC it's a drop down - Normal (Default and value = 50) and High (Value = 1). We have 6 values for special shipping and were curious if anyone's looked at this

I'm part of a 5 hospital chain that uses Lawson and EDI (GHX). Are there any best practices to efficiently relay backorder notices (from EDI or fax) to the appropiate internal customers 

Is there a way to bring the email address from PO04 into the EDI 850 message  I see that the buyer code and name show up already in the PER segment.

Would like some advice on dealing with catalog numbers & avoiding duplication.  For example, we had 0277-010-212 set up in Lawson.  Requester orders same item but uses 277010212.  Buyer does not recognize duplication & vendor will accept either number as the same item.  I gave 277010212 its own Lawson number & months later caught the duplication on some reporting. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  We are not utilizing GTIN at this ...

We currently utilize Manage Identities in LS for our RQC Users.  Part of their steps when becoming a new user is to assign themselves a bookmark which contains the RQC Shopping, Template Maintenance, and various usage screens.  I have such a hard time walking users through these steps and find it hard to believe there is not a way to automatically assign these users a bookmark - or perhaps an easy way to modify the home screen without using LBI to provide these links to the users ...
