We are looking for a way to handle a couple of situations.  1) Capital purchases that are 80 on arrival and 20 paid after acceptance.  We've had instances where the vendors ship multiple shipments and it messes up the receiving and payment of that 80.  We were thinking having the receipts go on inspection hold might help us with that. 2) Tissue Tracking.  Right now, we use a manual process when an item arrives that is manufacturered out of human tissue (grafts, etc)...

I ran RQ140 and found some old Unreleased reqs and a a few the are in Needs Approval status from a prior year that is closed. What is the best way to get rid of those reqs out of the system

I am trying to get a data dump from Lawson - the data resides in PO25. I am needing a list of all Items with the current cost of the item (i.e., the cost as of today). Does anyone know in which table(s) the data for PO25 resides thanks-

We are currently engaged in an enhancement project looking to find efficiencies in our current Procure-to-Pay processes. Our corporate business analysis team have presented us with a redesign of our accounts payables process where instead of payments being initiated following the receipt of an invoice from a supplier, it is initiated by the contract manager after receipt of the goods or services. Although this is new to our company, we have been advised that this model is utilized by many org...

Does anyone have experience with implementing 832s and/or know how the 832 process works within Lawson Finding any information on how 832s work within Lawson is challenging. Our hospital is looking to start using 832's with our distributors for Med/Surg and Pharmacy products. We know it is unusual to use the MMIS for Pharmacy, but this was set-up years ago and we are stuck with it right now. At my last hospital, we used McKesson's MMIS and 832s were a breeze once we had them implemented...

Does anyone know how Lawson labels the Creation Date Cutoff & Transaction Date Cutoff for the RQ300 jobs I need to update the job runtime with a Perl script and am doubting that I can just search for 'Creation Date Cutoff' & 'Transaction Date Cutoff' Both Lawson and Perl are very very new to me, so forgive me if this question is redundant or rudimentary. Any help is appreciated. Thank you! 

We are implementing GHX. We are on LSF 901, apps 9.0.0.7 and EDI 8.1.0.55. GHX has requested that we send them the 850's to include PER and MSG segments. I learned that GHX and Lawson had worked together to write appropriate scripts for GHX (inb and out files) beginning with the level of EDI my org is currently on. In the Infor KB I learned that there is a place in the supplied Lawson script where you can add TPID's and the 850 will then contain at least the PER segments. (I checked our 850 ...

We have just upgraded to new Windows 2008 servers and having issues with punchout.  We can submit 1 order sucessful to Staples per day, all other orders for the day are failing.  The next day same thing.  We run batches every hr, even if i trigger the dispatcher processflow manually same issue.

Anyone successfully configuring FTPs using LexiCom  I'm attempting this for the first time with Inovis.  I'm getting close but I think my configuration is off. Looking at the log file I'm connecting, logging in, cd to the fromvan directory- all successful.  But when the command to list the files (NLST) is issued I get: Exception: java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.

If all that's changed is the Logo, I'd rather not install it... But I don't want to be missing out on some new features.  I've read through the install guide, and can't see much that's changed... 'If it works...'  TIA, -Greg

I'm wondering if anyone has had any success matching invoices against a PO that contains lines with both X (Special) and S (Service) type items. In the past it was always recommended to put Service type items on a separate PO because when AP enters an invoice the invoice handling code has to be defined as either matching or service.

Due to JT-181562 we are getting a 'No Charge flag mismatch; Par/Car Loc vs. Replenish From Loc' error. if we go to IC81 and just add a FC of 'C' on the item that we get the error on, and then click on Change, the item goes through. Does anyone have an add-in template that can accomplish the same thing I have tried but haven't been able to accomplish this without getting an 'Item already exists' message. There are about 25000 items that have to be updated this way.

I had a materials manager tell me PO codes are not best practice which surpised me. Can anyone shed any light on best practices sorround the use of Lawson PO codes for capital and grant purchases in healthcare and government

We are having trouble getting Punch out set up. We are trying to use the Dell test vendor. I can see the PunchOutSetupResponse in my rqc_user_23.log file in the RQC_work\logs directory on the RQC server. It contains the correct URL for Dell. After the response comes back, I get an exception that looks like this: RSS Runtime Exception com.lawson.webapp.foundation.exception.RssRuntimeException com.lawson.webapp.foundation.exception.RssRuntimeException org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Conte...

Good Morning,   We are looking for some feedback on the below IC/AP related issue below.   Scenario A receiver was made on a purchase order for the incorrect product A return with the vendor was requested, along with a request for the correct product A credit was expected from the vendor – so a PO31 was completed   Actions Vendor shipped correct product at no charge & picked up incorrect product     In the above situation, we now have an open credi...

Does anyone have a good process for defining substitute items in Lawson There are ways to define multiple Vendor Item Numbers in PO13.3, but there is no place to define a conversion for each Part number. Our buyers need to be able to switch between part numbers for a Lawson number in PO20 without someone having to manually change conversions in IC11. ANY help would be appreciated, since we're trying to streamline our substitution process. Greg

I have an annual Hurricane Order that we end up having to accept several thousand lines in a day without an 856.  Every year, I try to map a PO30 and then at about the 2 hour mark give up and manually go through and add them. Will PO529 do this

I have a Processflow that is triggered based on a user action. When this particular flow is triggered, I get the following error when it is trying to do an add via an AGS into PO23. Here is the error message: AGS error: Must Inquire before using this function code when an ags call is triggered from PO23. How can I fix it

I am in the process of creating a new warehouse. I have a few questions for those of you that manage multiple hospitals. Do you share a single item master, vendor group, etc between hospitals or did you create separate companies for each hospital If you created separate companies, how do consolidate your GL

Our pharmacy procurement system functions completely outside of Lawson, so currently we have an AP clerk hand keying all of the pharmacy invoices into Lawson daily. I have been asked to find a way to do match these invoices through the Lawson EDI process with GHX.  We turned on the 810s for this account number, and the invoices have been coming in.  The only problem is that when the invoice is created via MA540,. distribution information is not populated, since there is no way to ...

We added a second company to AP, GL, PO, IC, RQ.  In adding the second company to RQ, requestors can now select accounting unit/accounts for both companies. How are people limiting requestors to a single company.  Is there a way in RQ or do we use the GL system restrictions

Can the standard fax document be modified  There are a few elements I would like to change but I don't know where the template is stored.

Our organization uses EDI with a fairly small number of vendors.  Fax is more prevalent, but we would like to use EDI more.  We do not use GHX.  It seems that Lawson's Trading Partner list is awfully short.  Grainger is one company that we'd like to start with, but they are not on that list.  We are also working with a consultant to work through some procurement issues, and he threw doubt on whether this could be set up.  I'm surprised that Lawson has made no additi...

We are having an issue sending faxes to Grainger. The fax server says there is no answer for each try but when I turned on the modem speaker and listened, I could hear the modem attempting the handshake but eventually it just failed to connect and I just heard the dial tone. Sending the fax to the same number using our manual fax machine works just fine. Any ideas

We use processflow for requisition approval. We need a way for approvers (i.e. users) to add a proxy approver while they are out of office, without giving the users access to LOGAN tables used in ProcessFlow Admin Tools. We do not want the users to have direct access to ProcessFlow Admin Tools, and we do not want our IT dept. handling proxy approver updates in ProcessFlow Admin Tools. Has anyone created such a process that ProcessFlow can route requisitions to a proxy user Thanks for...
