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 time, but if GTIN resolved this scena...

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 without them go...

I am curious what others use for tolerance settings for products that are three-way matched, over and under the amount listed on the PO. My manager, when she first started, insisted on zero tolerance.  Well, that setting soon changed when buyer messages were coming in faster then planes landing at O'hare Field in Chicago.

We are trying to create an upload for PO20 but are running into and issue when creating the HK. The HK requires a PO Number but the PO Nuber is generated when the PO is created, so we have no PO Number to include in the HK.

We just converted from an Iseries 525 to an ISeries Power 7 and now our RQ500 does not work. The data is created on the p7 and placed in lawpgm9/RQ500FRQ, but when the rq500 runs we get no data in file. I think it has to do with the addlnk. Anyone have any ideas Thanks

We currently have Lawson as our materials app and Epic for clinical app.  Right now we are using stickers to show nursing what items are patient chargable and what are not.  We have had issues with nursing not pulling the stickers off the product and putting them on the patient chart to be charged to the patient.  We are trying to identify a program that we could use to do the supply charging by scanning a bar code, etc.  Does anyone out there have such a product  We have looked at pixus, etc b...

Anyone here *not* using RQC  We are old SEA users who've gone through RSS and up to latest/greatest of RQC and are now looking at GHX Procurement Suite. Has anyone else dropped RQC What business choices drove the decision What kinds of ROI metrics did/would you use to justify the changes

ICTRANS has all the data I need but the DESCRIPTION from the ITEMMAST. Every time I try to link in Crystal, I lose my data from the ICTRANS. Can anyone tell me what I need to link in order to make this work Thanks

We have been struggling with getting our reqs for particular vendors to not combine to one PO. We have finally figured out that the vendor must be entered on the req header in order for the system to look at PO10.1 settings. We do not have the vendor on the header because we have many instances where users enter multiple vendor items on one req. Is there a way that we can use single doc to a PO based on the vendor that is entered on the line of the req Lawson told me there is no way to do t...

I read that you can use the po13.3 detail area to specify the BUOM for a vendor and it will override the ic11 record, but I have been trying to test in stage by putting in an incorrect BUOM and it will return a decimal point.   It seems like this will lower the uom errors that are returned when an order edi's if an error is returned to the user.  Has anyone had any luck in using this function, or know of a stop gap for when an invalid BUOM is entered into the system for an order

Is there a report that can get the asset information (Asset, Tag, Asset Template) and PO number if the asset was not received through AM19.1

Has anyone here done any customization work within RQC What I want to do is based on the item type a user selects, I want to default values based on what their selection is. To start, I moved the Item Type drop down to the 'Profile' tab in RQC, but I am not sure how to pass the logic on the other screens to default certain criteria, and pull this value back on the shopping screen. Any ideas Currently stuck between a rock and a hard place. Thanks!

Hello - Is anyone currently using a IC02 Location Code specific to a vendor on any of their PO's  We may have a need for such a thing (if it is possible) to avoid drastic changes to current ship to codes & wanted to hear the pro's & con's. Thanks in advance! Beth

Our current system is set up to now allow mixing of item types on PO's (All PO's are either all received, or all service lines). We are exploring the options of mixing lines on PO's but are finding there is more dependent on the AP handling code than originally thought. We are looking to see how others hospitals/organizations handle these types of PO's.

Anybody have any advice on how to print pick tickets as orders come in for the warehouse. We used WH130 currently. We are looking at a way to auto print pick tickets as orders from our warehouse are approved  I was thinking process flow Any other ideas  Thanks, JIm Ollerton

We have a relationship with a small health system about 200 miles north of us that wants to access our supply contracts. There's no formal affiliation with them. I've heard that some GPOs allow this if there is a business agreement between the hospitals. Anyone doing this What are the legal pitfalls Is your purchasing staff buying, shipping to and then billing the other hospital What does the business agreement entail

Avaap is promoting a webinar for their document attachment solution called AttachIt. Anyone out there using this We have been looking at Perceptive Software's document management solution but I'm wondering if AttachIt would be a cost effective interim solution.

Hello, Can anyone offer any background into how the  PO227 report ties into PO25. I have ran it and gotten results I did not expect. It states that our compliance is 0 and the items have been loaded. Wondering if we are doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone ever uploaded to IC26  If so would you mind sharing Thanks

I'm looking for anyone who can offer advice w.r.t. implementing custom recsum.htm (inbasket execs) on RQC 10.0.2 and higher.  I am working with a consultant who has given me copies of a 'standard' recsum.htm and a custom version of same to add to the bpm execs. Of course I followed the steps to add the execs to the bpm.war and then rebuild and redeploye the bpm.ear, but the results are not what the developer expects.  She has indicated that I must have done something wrong, even though I've d...

Does anyoe have a list of special characters that Lawson does not like, such as Item Master descriptions

Using the Kit Assembly principle, has anyone attempted this process with non-inventory items  I want to enter item xyz on the requisition and have it's compnents default to lines similar to pick tickts if items were inventoried. thank you.

We are using MA180 to clear older RNI transactions. We see many records on MA180 that are not on PO135. Has anyone experienced this Has the cause been identified thanks
