Hi all, Am helping a client hospital streamline supply chain functionality.  Was wondering if any users had experience with Lawson's contract management module  We are weighing it against Ariba and a couple of other point solutions.  We have a number of tiered PPI contracts (non-GPO) and would like the management of this to be as hands-off as possible.  Previous hospitals I have worked at have complained that Lawson's UI is subpar and that managing tiers is cumbersome, but I do not have a lot...

Ok, since we can't create multiple item masters within a company, how about this. Can we create another company, say 9999, and create an item master within that company just for our pharmacy. We would create a warehouse for each of our remote locations and do a warehouse transfer when sending the remote loc a resupply order. Since it's just a transfer between warehouses it would stay on the books and not be expensed

Does anyone have any suggestions for a small mobile thermal printer for printing MSCM labels at a PAR location We are looking for something that is easily transportable and will connect to a PC/Laptop via USB. Dymo Zebra Brother

Trying to get e-procurement punchout set up.  We are able to go out to the vendor's site and create a shopping cart, but when we try to bring it back in to Lawson RQC, I see a message 'Punchout Runtime Exception com.lawson.webapp.framework.system.rq.b2b.punchout.remoteServlet.exception.PunchoutRuntimeException  java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect'. When I look on the punchout server's WebSphere SystemOut.log file, I see that the order has come back from the vendor, then a t...

Ok perhaps this is the dumbest question ever asked on this site but here it goes. I am being asked how we can easily transfer items (mainly at night) from par to par locations and have it tracked in the system. I have said the only way is to credit and then reissue. But I have been told I am wrong and there must be a way because all systems are equipped for this. If there is a way can someone enlighten me or offer some ways others have dealt with this Thanks Chris

Dear Lawson Community, I am a relatively new user of Lawson and have what I think is a quite simply question.  I am searching for information on Lawson's Application Programming Interfaces (API's).  Specifically, I would like to know if it is possible to upload an excel spreadsheet into Lawson which would mimic the receiving of PO receipts in PO30. Let me know if you can help.  It is much appreciated. Alan

We are trying to receive and deliver via the handhelds on the same trip, our couriers will typically be out of network range while making their receipts/deliveries. We can get them to deliver stuff, or receive stuff, but the minute that they try to do both (again out of network) they lose everything in the handhelds. Is there a recommended way of doing this.  Lawson has told us to give each of our couriers two handhelds, one for deliveries and one for pick-ups. NOT AN OPTION!

We want to print the route number on the WH130 report.  We would like to use an attribute from GL20 or IC02.  Does anyone know how to accomplish this

How do I reopen a period I closed in error in PO

I am trying to find how to use the 'default' change setting to allow users to use their enter key and it add a line and position to the next line.  Currently in Portal it puts back at the company field.  It works fine in Lid but want to start moving users to Portal. I have incorporated hot keys (F8 - search box, F10 - new window, F1 - first field).  I am unable to find a hot key or setting to set it to the first line in the order entry detail section (order lines).  That could help as well if...

We are investigating adding our Cardiac Cath lab on as another perpetual inventory to consolidate the number of systems that our facility uses.  One thing that they require for their items is lot number and expiration date tracking.  I know Lawson has some screens for lot numbers but we've never even looked at them. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing If you flag an item as being lot number tracked, at which point does the lot number have to be entered into the system Do...

Is it possible to have this scenario for an item in IC11: UOM1 = EA UOM2 = BX UOM3 = CA CONV1 = 1 CONV2 = 10 CONV3 = 50 When it comes time to do inventory, we want to be able to count by UOM2.  Is is possible to have the Stock UOM be equal to the UOM2

Hi, Does the system records transaction logs for business process I am not familiar at all with the system, and couldn't find any free documentation. To be more specific: Is there a track of changes being done in a document such a purchase order or a sales order Some ERP systems manage statuses of a document, or a workflow. Does Lawson ERP have any workflow in any of its modules If it does, is it possible to retrieve the event logs recorded Thans in advance!

We need to set up a requester to have access to multiple Companies but RQ04 only allows a requester to be assigned to one company.  Any suggestions how this can be done

am getting this error message only in TEST environment, not in PROD. Trying to use punchout and get this message: Received Fatal Alert: Unexpected_Message using IE8 Thanks

We have installed RQC with our upgrade to 9.0.1.  However, the requesting location is no longer a drop down on the Shopping/Basic tab.  I can CTRL-ALT-O on the field and it reads class=displayOnly. I thought this would be a setting in rqc_config.xml but if it is there I am not finding it (the option is there for company but not req location). Does any one have ideas where this can be set  Currently in 9.0.0.4 we do have the drop down option.

Hello, I am new to lawson (2 months experience) and need to know if there is any way to past more than one Lawson number in a screen. Example: I would like to take say 50 lawson 's and get pricing for all units of measure in PO28. I have tried create a query as an add in but cannot find the correct fields to use as table, and when I do find all the right fields in the application portion of query, it times out every time before I get the report. Does this make any sense I'm glad I fou...

Users reporting scanning all their packages into the handheld, when they hit 'Deliver' they are receiving an error stating 'cannot download distribution lines from server'. 1) anyone seen this before 2) how to resolve MSCM 9.0.1.2 Patch 7 Apps and Env 9.0.1.9

We are getting an error on the par count sheet after using the handhedl that says unit cost required    Can anyone give me the pricing hierarchy  It does not seem to be pulling from the last price paid at the IC12 location because there is a price there.  But there is not a last price paid at the par location.  And there is no contract at this time.   thank you

We need to create replenishment orders for our OR inventory to replenish from the Main Storeroom inventory.  We plan to use IC141 to create the orders.  What I'm finding is that the process requires a lot of human intervention.  What I want to do is run the IC141 so that a Pick List can be printed in the Main Storeroom with a recurring job. It appears that if I use a Document type of T on the IC12, I have to use IC22 or IC25 to release the document but nothing prints and the product instantly...

I have a new Stock on hand issue: serial numbers. I have two active serial numbers but only one available quantity on hand. Somehow one item was issued and the SN didn't get assigned.  Any way to clear it out thanks, Rob in Maine

In Lawson 9.0, how can a supplier receive a PO and then flip it to become an eInvoice that can streamline the payment process Thanks!

Do I have to do any set up in LexiCom when configuring FTP SSL with a vendor or do I just need to set up the carrier in ED02 and LexiCom grabs that info and works in the background

Hello All, I was wondering if you are aware of any of any customers that are using your S3 Surgical Instrument Management System with the Case Cart Picking Feature. If yes; do you think I can be placed in contact with them so that we can learn about their experience Thank you, Alia
