Hello!... lawson people.... I'm in the process of uploading a budget from excel spreadsheet to FBDETAIL, but i can't seem to find the form that would let me add new budget. Knowledge Search in Lawson.com says that i have to use budget interface to convert the new budget data that i have, but when i access FB165 its only generating report. Where should i start the process of uploading the budget and how.. Thanks again in advance

Earlier this year we upgraded to v 9.0.  In the old version of Lawson 8.03 I was able to export the AM 255 to excel and you would see the information as it appeared on the PDF report.  In version 9.0 the projection information is summarized by year for each asset.  Does anyone konw how to change this.  I also tried to change the flag on Assets in Other Output options to 'D' Detail, but this exported the informaiton by month into three different columns.

When entering an invoice in AP20.1 can the default vendor payment terms populate in the pmt terms field when the Vendor is selected Otherwise you have to drill into the vendor number and find out what the default is to know it you need to change it in the AP20 field. Our Data Entry staff would like to know if the field can auto populate from the vendor record.

How do I get a list of all open A/P invoices that were open as of a certain date

We are in the process of converting our fixed assets into Lawson. We uploaded the data to populate AM 96, AM97 and AM98. We then ran AM500 and AM170. After that, we ran the AM580 and depreciation is not calculating. Any ideas what to look for

Hi There - We have a Lab Application that will be interfacing with the Lawson Billing for all Client Lab Charges. I see the bL520 out there and will probably look to use this for replacing the manual efforts. However, the problem I am running into is the 'Fee Schedule' per Lab Test. For example, Customer 1234 takes Blood Test Ab123 that fee is $30/test - but, the same test AB123 is taken by Customer 6789 and that fee is $50/test. This presents the problem, so does anyone out there have a sim...

We would like to upload stipend type of AP invoices. We want to give them the same invoice number (like XXX Stipend) and use the One Time Vendor flag so it will create vendor numbers. Has anyone done this

Is there anyone who does this

In the past I have worked at a place that ran all restricted fund transactions through an account (net Assets) on the balance sheet. Now at a place installing Lawson and the cosultant wants transactions through a cost center in the P&L. What do others do I would prefer all through balance sheet.

I am trying to load new assets from a legacy system into Lawson AM. I have uploaded the assets into the system using AM96.1 (AMASSET), AM97.1(AMASTITEM) and AM98.1 (AMASTBOOK). Everything uploaded successfully. However, When I progress to process then using AM500 I get the following message in my report. 'Conversion nbr exists in AMCNVASSET file, use AM300 to purge' At this point I have run it in non-update mode. Can anyone tell me what this means before I proceed any further It appies...

We are using the R_DESC column 'Interface Transaction' to tell us if an invoice was entered online or through an interface. Now we need to determine what external systems are sending in the invoices. Is there a way to determine which system e.g. Billing is sending the interface transaction

When running the AP155, can you make it include the payer's address also or does that have to be coded into whatever software (such as MHC) you use to print the checks

I have never worked with Employee Self Service; can I remove one of the displayed benefits from the Beneficiaries display. We do not want employees to be able to add beneficiaries to one of the defined benefits. Thank you if you can help.

We are running Lawson Financial version 9.0 on an IBM I. There is a work file, MATPRLWR that is now almost 10 GB with 936 members. I would like to remove the majority of these members but I am not sure if it will hurt anything else or if perhaps there is a menu option within Lawson that I could run to clean up this file.

We have Interfaces that start with an assigned interface number (e.g. I114APInterface). Subsequent IPAs that are from called within the main IPA are named free-form (e.g. APControlReport, APMatrixReport, APVendorList) This makes it difficult to know by site what triggers or relates to what without checking out the IPA and review or having a reference doc. Anyone care to weigh in on the plusses and minuses of naming For example, if the above I114APInterface runs and you see APControlRe...

Hello! This is my first post on this forum so go easy on me! :) We are on v9.0.1 and I need to create a new company (which I might be able to copy from another). I first have to check to see if the same AUs are going to be used. I'd rather not copy them over with the company copy and then inactivate them in the new company. This new company will use system codes: GL, AP, CB and RJ. If the company is designated as Test status, is there anyway to truly test the subsystems posting to the GL...

Each month before month end we run a few jobs to make sure month end goes smoothly. One of those reports is a PO230 report (Unreleased Receiving List). This month we have 5 PO's show up. From the notes that I can find the way to clear them is by going into PO30 and 'release and print' however when I do that it tells me that 'receiver has no line; cannot release'. I have no idea what needs to happen for these items to get cleared before month end. Any insight would be great!

HI, I have 2000 assets that need to be moved from Account Unit to another within the same company with Asset Management. I am on Lawson 9.1. I have tried to upload into the AM30.1 screen but I am getting the message 'Asset type does not exist'. I know for sure that the asset Type does exist. Has anyone had issues with this before and can you give me insight into where I am going wrong Your help is very much appreciated.

Not sure if this belongs here or LBI. Has anyone had success customing reports that would whow accounting unit summary at highest level, then the next levels downward I'm thinking the dbo.GLCONSOL table would be a start, but wonder if anyone has completed this and how

We have a few vendors that use half quantities when ordering. For example an order of envelopes comes in a box of 2,500 we use the UOM of 'M' and typically enter the order for 2.5. Recently we are having issues with Lawson not allowing us to use decimals giving the error message 'too many decimals entered'. Is there a way to fix this We are now trying to match invoices to the PO's and obviously they are not matching becuase the PO will show 2M and the invoice will show 2.5M. Any help would be g...

Does anyone know where i can get functional manuals for S3 version 9.0.1 I mean functional user manuals, not the official Lawson user guide (with about 500 sheets ...) I need to provide training regarding Lawson S3 Financial Suite (AP, AR, AM, CB and GL). I have it in a week and i have no time to make them!! :(

When I run a GL190 journal posting, I would prefer that the journal posting report (GL190.prt) sort in Company order (it appears the current primary sort is by company but the company numbers are out of order). Can the sort order of the journal posting report be modified and, if so, where would that be done Thank you.

We are currently looking for a Lawson Third Party Vendor Product with Financials S3 Archive/Purge Solutions We are currently looking at the NTTDATA's 'PARCr2' and Absolute's 'Archive.S3' Product Solutions. Are there any other third party products out there for the Lawson S3 Financial Suite Thank you, Ron Lapierre

Hey guys! I need help again, I am attempting to add a special item into a purchase order. I have done this on several occasions and have never had any issues. Now it is telling me that I can not add the item for this reason: 'Vendor Agreement and/or payment terms cannot be combined'. Does anyone know why it is throwing this error or how to fix it ~~~I have attached a screen shot of the error message. ~~~
