Does anyone know if there is a set of ERDs on the newest software version (or at least what has changed between the the current and latest versions)?
Were there a lot of changes?

You can generate them (at least close to it) with a tool called SchemaSpy. I was looking for a different post, but you can start here:

Thank you Greg,
Only issue is that we haven't installed version 10 yet and only know the current release. We are trying to estimate hours to install version 10 but don't know what has changed between the two versions. Is there something similar to the following link for version 10? Or specifically what columns have changed, had been added or deleted? Maybe I just can't find it on the site?

Not that I know of... If you have an acct on mylawson.lawson.com you could get some information on what's changed by going to the 'Products & Services' tab and then down to 'S3 10 Information' ?? Hope this helps.
There are lots of 'What's New...' documents out there.

The substantial changes to the v10 data model are mostly related to audit fields/tables for various master tables, such as GL Accounting Units.
If you have 9.0.1 + some recent MSP, you likely have that already...
I actually have updating the ERDs on my "to do" list for the site...stay tuned!

With every new version Lawson/Infor publishes release notes for that version. The release notes has a section for database changes and will clearly explain all the database changes including any new fields added or removed for that version. I have found the release notes extremely helpful.
