As part of our original implementation of Lawson our goal was to enable all project managers - even those with small programs - to go into Lawson and inquire on their finances. Projects with multiple funding sources are set up in the grant module. Recently we learned that just inquiring on their project will require licenses to two different Lawson modules - FINPRO and GMP. We are considering changing our structure so only those that set up and maintain grants have access. Has anyone else dealt with this?

In brief, use LSA to create roles/classes to grant management (GM) module for example. Then assign that roles/classes to the users that need access.

Another way around this is via reporting/dashboards, etc. for the users who are just inquiring...if you build it correctly, it won't use *any* licenses

Jackie, if you are using LSO there is also a mashup you can download from Infor Extreme related to Multi Funded Projects. This has many of the inquiry features you would be looking for from Grants and Activities built into it. That might be another solution for you.
