Is anyone using Epic/Optim in their OR  What is your practice for building items in the Lawson item master for Optim usa  Our OR staff is requesting we build all the implants so they will be available for them to pick off their list, but this seems to be an unreasonable request, since it will add about 20,000 items to the item master.  We are trying to get an idea of what others who use Epic/Optim and Lawson are doing in this regard.

I need to pull together PO history reports for ECRI and Premier Ascend that include our item , vendor item , manufacturer , quantity on PO, pricing, contract information, etc.  I am a novice at this and don't have any report writing program to help me (no Crystal).  I'm running MM280's, PO213, PO254, and doing addin's to pull information out of the IC11, IC14, and PO25's.  Then I'm going to have to do vlookups to pull all this data together.  Seems like there should be an easier way.  Can any...

Our company is a meduim sized organization that hasn't created any EDI relationships yet. Currently we recieve very large numbers of direct pay invoices as exccel spreadsheets that take hours to manually enter into AP20. I was doing some research and found that AP520 can accept invoices converted from Non-lawson files. I have also found the excel conversion files to use but there are still vague areas in this process I dont understand and havent been able to find step-by-step instructions for. D...

Hi Everyone... Using IC81 to add items to par areas...  there have been instances where I would like to add items to the par areas, but i need to wait to be able to order the item.  Think of it as preparing for a new item.  I would like to prep the par areas with the new item info, make a label for the par area, but I do not want to order the item until our supplier gets the supplies.  Is there a way I can add the item number, print the labels...  but somehow not allow any ordering (via an HH...

Hello, who is using the UNSPSC categories, PSC categories, UNSPSC codes, how beneficial are these to you and which ones/how are you using them   Where did you acquire all the codes to upload into IC16

We have staff scanning their par carts and all of a sudden the items that come from the warehouse are now creating requisitions.  The requisitions happen to be the same as the reqs that should be sourcing to the vendor for replenishment.  Has anyone else experienced this and if so how was it remedied I have checked the Par Cart setup in MSCM and it is set as Pick for Par and the RQ01 and IC81 locations also appear to be setup correctly.     Kurt L.

Hi everyone, Looking for some assistance in what others have done in this scenario.  We have separate 'division' vendors built out for companies utilizing the same EDI connection (i.e, Depuy/Synthes, Cardinal/Cordis, Integra, etc.). Our outbound EDI transactions obviously go out with the correct account number based on the translations setup in ED40. We run into issues translating the invoices (810) and acknowledgments (855) coming back to us and not knowing which vendor number to match the in...

We are looking for interfacing with the SIS system to receive item usage and decrement our inventory with the RQ500 interface. I have a few questions regarding this process.    1. Has anyone already done this I'm looking for anyone who might be able to help help with the decrementing of the inventory. 2. I was advised by our support that there is no HL7 inbound for the aforementioned process. Can anyone else speak to this I saw some references to IC511 on here.    Please let me know if an...

Hello everyone,   I am new to Lawson.

I am trying to create a report using Crystal and MSCM. I want to know when my parcounters count 0 on hand. Everything I have seen uses the required quantity not the number they actually enter into the handhelds. Does anyone know where this number is stored

Anyone getting nursing requsts to their central supply as a Lawson Req Our directors are reporting that they get requests from the nursing units as a print out from Epic.  The thought is that if there's a print out, there must be a file somewhere that could be manipulated and loaded to RQ10 as a pick for par kind of req.

We are stress testing our S3 environment and I would like to involve MSCM in that testing. I would like to disable the record traffic out of MSCM so that we can queue up a couple hundred par counts and issues on the MSCM server and then during the stress test release that queue. The first thing I thought of is to disable the schedulers. We are on a hosted environment so I don't have access to the server itself, so I need to direct someone else to do that work. Does anyone know how to disable the...

When a message appears in MA64 and the buyer opens it in MA66.2, and the type is NoRecLin, what happens if the buyer clears it without requesting a receipt be entered into the system  Does the invoice clear without an accompanying receipt  What does that do to the PO  Does it leave the line open for 'more' receipts  Just looking for best practice for dealing with these messages.  The user guide didn't give much 'guidance' for this screen. :)   Thanks

Several items were updated in Lawson via add in to change their bin locations. Now, when the items are accessed via the MSCM hand held device, both the old and new bin locations are being seen.   How can this be correcred

We are looking into a project using Bill units on certain items (ex. Mesh) where you use the SUOM as EA, but the patient is billed by the square CM.  Currently we are using an IC11 user field to accomplish this, but is there a way to incorporate it into the IC11 record, or another screen in Lawson that is used for Bill Units.  We do not want to issue these items at this UOM because it is smaller than the lowest UOM, but it is billed to the patient at this UOM.   Has anyone attempted this, and ...

I included a word document with screenshots of the issue I'm having. I have a capital po that is assigned to an activity that is not over budget, based on everything I can see, but it won't let me release the PO because it claims it will PUT me over budget, but it won't. The original req was entered for $132,847 as an X-type The Po was built like the req was, $132,847 as an X type The line was received as an X-type for $132,847 The first invoice came in for $70,914. ...
