We use different process levels to denote different GL companies.  The process level defaults the accrual account so that the off setting credit goes to an intercompany accrual account.  The process level is entered at the invoice header and the accrual code defaults to the what ever is set up at the AP00.5.  Invoices with multiple distribution lines might need to hit more than one accrual codes depending on the GL Distribution Company Code.  How do we use different accrual codes at the distribu...

I am researching a process whereby our company would build a process to perform all of our corporate level allocations.  The objective would be to maintain the actuals as is BEFORE the process is executed (A), perform the allocations (B) which are based on complex business logic and then store the results (C) so that reports could be run on any combination of A, B, C.  Mutli-ledger did not appear to handle this.  Any suggestions

Our company is currently having an issue printing overflow checks.  We have changed printers, taken the printer off the network, checked the software we are using to print the checks, the driver for the printer, and the memory (512MB).   The issue is if vendor 'A' is in the middle of the print queue the check will print, but the moment the overflow checks start to print , random code appears on the overflow pages and we lose the remaining overflow pages and checks. If vendor 'A' is at the end ...

Hello Lawson heads! (smile)   I’m pretty new to the Lawson GL module. If someone can tell me where I can find the status of a specific GL transaction “memo”, I would really appericate it. How the accountants have told me to find the status is as follows:   1) Log into Lawson desk top application. 2)  Go to the specific screen:  GL41 3) Enter in specific GL-JE  (Company, year..ect..ect) 4) ‘Drill around’ to the “Transaction Detail” screen. 5) Once on the main screen click the small  ”SC” ...

After running a job, 40 reports created in Lason and they need to be downloaded to CSV files in local drive C: Wonder if there is a script I can run to download these 40 reports to 40 different CSV files directly. The other ERP will locate a 'marco' bar at the top of screen to allow end users to record the steps in a VB form. End users just record 2 download actions, then edit for the others. Not sure if Lawson can modernize its users to keep everything simple.

This is my first post I think this is the appropriate place for it. We are using units of production to bill our customers. I have no problems when my rates remain the same. Unfortunately I can not figure out how to use more than one rate. We are using days and we have the rates loaded in the rate table. If I am billing June, the rate changes on the 6th of the month. How do I get AC 190 to bill 6 days at the established rate and the remaining 24 days at the new rate I am loading my...

Anyone seen any doc/forum or ppt that talks or explain about features/enhancements in applications 9.0 from 8.0. We are only using the financials modules. Just need to know how much training (if any) the users need to go through before we cut over to 9.0 apps. Thanks.

we are looking for a way to get the data out of AR for unpaplied cash by day (by customer, is possible) . Accounting folks want to find the variance and I have looked at the tables involved but can't seem to make any sense out of it. Has anyone ever had a need for this. Any pointers/help with SQL if it's possible to do. Don't know if lawson keeps the history or is there any way to figure this out based on the check/cash applied and distribution Thanks.

7.2.24 An invoice visible in AR90 with an unapplied amount is not visible in AR30.3. In DBARARO Base applied amount = Base amount while Tran applied amount We are USD only and the latter was correct by DBARARA so I set base applied = tran applied. Still no show in AR30.3 Last  DBARARA Result-fl = F so  I set to P DBARARO record still unavailable in  AR30.3 Any sugggestions Programs to run Fields to examine Files attached Thanks, KB

We are beginning the process of looking at Budgeting applications to use with our Lawson ERP system. I am looking for Lawson user's experience with either Lawson Budgeting software or integrating non-Lawson Budgeting software with Lawson.  For non-Lawson Budgeting software, looking for names of vendors that you have had good experience with. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Mike

I was looking to see if anybody has found a way to add more than five item lines on AM20.3 using Addins. While we can manually create numerous lines it appears addins limits you to just five lines because of the requirment to use the more button to add line six or greater

Not sure If I'm explaining it correctly, but I have a issue, where one out of all the users, is not able to run a batch program and doesn't like the CSV file  layout. The key difference I found with the user and the rest of the users is that this users examine log says: 'FILE OPTIONS WERE TAKEN FROM USERS LOCALE' for the ZR504-INV file, VS 'File options were taken from JOBSTEPWRK record'. I believe it has something to do with the settings Can anyone help me with how I can force the user to ...

Hello! Does anyone know how to run the AP161payment file so that it results in an EDI 820 format file  The AP manual seems to indicate that it can be done, however following all instructions we have only been able to produce text files in the $LAWDIR/lawapp9db/Work/AP161ELECTPMT and AP161ELECTRMT directories.  I notice that Lawson has an 'EDI' application that we aren't licensed to.  Do you know if this application is required to transform AP161 result files Thanks! Stephen

Are there anyone out there who are using Cognos 8 with the Lawson applications for reporting and disbusting  We are using Crystal 11 and not that please with it.  Would like some feedback on what you think about the product.

I am new to AP support, but I have a division that processes prepayment invoices without an APDistribution record.  I did not think this was possible.  It seems to be only on Wire Transfers or Drafts. I can see APPayment records, I can see the payment on CB80 but they are still showing as an open item.   This has been goin on for years so I don't think it is bug/patch related - note we are on 9.0 apps. Thoughts anyone

XBRL I haven't seen much from Lawson on new products/functionality that will help companies comply with new SEC filing requirements by 2010 (some 'lucky' ones get to do it earlier). If this affects you, what are you doing Using another app Outsourcing  John Henley

We have just upgraded from LSF8 to LSF9.  When I run a customized report in the new LSF9 and invoke the drill around on a field the Drill Around screen has no data in the Detail box and a message 'No drill back information for this column' is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  This drill around works OK in the LSF8 environment. Does anyone know what would cause this to happen in a new environment Thanks,

When Adding a new AP Vendor Class and assigning that class at the vendor level invoice history does not seem to be affected in selection reports such as the AP150 or AP250.  I thought that since the change was done on the vendor level that the parameter selection for those reports would be pulling information from the vendor tables but the reports come up empty.  Does the vendor class populate in an invoice table that can me modified or do I just need to wait for the history to clear out

We recently migrated from LSF8 to LSF9.  We have discovered in LSF9 that the customized field namess on the 'User Fields' tab on the AP10.1 form are not carried over from LSF8. I looked at KB article 130516 but we do not have locales set up in LSF8 that would facilitate the customized fields. Does anyone know how to either move the customized field names over from LSF8 to LSF9 or can anyone explain how I can re-set them up Thanks in advance.

Does LID 9.0.1 run only on Windows and not Unix  I do not see any documentation for it on Unix, only Windows.
