Hello all, I was searching in the forum for pharmacy in Lawson and came across a very old post. Was wondering if anyone is using Lawson for Pharmacy orders and, if so, how they are doing it basically Word on the street is it cannot be done. Thanks pglibra

We recently did a conversion for primary distributor.  We changed all applicable IC12 Sourcing, PO13, and IC81/IC82 locs accordingly. However, we are running into instances where someone is ordering an item that is off contract, but RQC is still sourcing to the old distributor.  The Vendor PN populates with our internal item because the PO13 record is inactivated.  This REQ LOC also does not have this item in its IC81 listing, so it wasn't driven by IC81. My experience is that...

 How does this process work   I know you need an ftp address to transmit files in either direction, but I was looking for a more technical description.

(simple end user here) Is there a report I can run that will detail what a department is getting requisitioned/issued to them I know I can do IC220 (transaction history).  This allows me to choose the department AND the expense code, if I choose, as well as date parameters.  However, this report is looking like items that are issued to them via IC21.  Is there a way to run a similar report but for par cart records (IC83) How about items that are requisitioned&nbs...

Hi, has anyone worked out a process to have a particular item (nonstock) always expense to one department, regardless of which department orders it I do not want to create a new par location, would like to be able to add an item to multiple areas, but always have the expense default to one particular department. Thanks Sheri  

Having 856 auto receipt issues due to vendor autosubs. is there a way to use 855 data to automatically update PO with new item

Wanted to get feedback from those of you using EPIC and Lawson and how inventory is decremented and patient charges are captured. I've seen a variety of processes leveraged to enter reqs/issues to create demand/decrement inventory throughout surgical areas using EPIC and Infor.  Options where the req/issue and patient charge is entered in EPIC and interfaced into Infor using IC500 and options where a req is entered in Infor and the patient charge is entered separately in EPIC.  The ch...

How is everyone managing items that have expiration dates in lawson  Currently we are using a yellow dot program, when an item has an expiration date associated to it the bin the item is in has a yellow dot on it.  This indicates to the central stores folks that this item needs to be checked to make sure the item is in allowed time frame before sending it to the floor.  We want to manage this in lawson and I don't see way to do that.  Any info would be appreciated.  Tha...

I was looking at some MA53 records and noticed there is a 'cancel remaining' (f59) field. Is there any part of the 856 record where the vendor can send this as part of the 856 record We are on LUOM with O&M and currently need to have someone kill backorders manually. If O&M can send this information it would be a great way to streamline the process.   Thanks, Jeff

We are having a very frustrating issue in which occasionally, a requisition will split into two purchase orders. When we discover it and go back to look at the requisition, some of the lines will have Vendor 'A' and some lines will have vendor 'B' even though the requester set a vendor at the header level and SWEARS that they are not editing the lines to put a different vendor on them. We do not have any IC12's setup. We do not use PO25's. We do not use PO13's (any more).  We did have s...

We have edited our rqc_config.xml file to set some fields to required.  However, it's not taking effect.   We did this last year, but the system admin that did it is gone and we can't remember how to get it to take effect.   I went into Requisition Center Utilities and clicked the 'Reload configuration file' button, but that doesn't seem to have worked.

Is anyone compiling nonstick orders for a particular Vendor on a set day Currently all our Nonstock orders compile daily. We would like to set some Vendors to compile only on a particular day, so we meet our min order amount.   Does anyone have a workaround or process for this   Thanks!  

Hello all, I've been trying to add a template to RQC but the template does not appear there.please advise

Any hospital ordering reprocessed goods We will soon begin recycling via Hygia, some commonly used items i.e. BP CUFFS ; CHAIR PADs for buy back from our distributor. These items are in our inventory locations and also housed in Pxyis. The fill rate of the reprocessed goods will be 65,and the 35 remainder new product will be shipped. We are dealing with two different vendor item numbers for the same item ( one reprocessed the other new ). Would you use one Lawson number and sub when the ...

Is anyone using PO01 Add On Cost Close Days  If so, what is your setting, how did you arrive at that setting, who determined the setting, & how is it working  We recently had a PO with a $200K trade in AOC that was not on the invoice & Finance wanted it cleared from the PO135.  Luckily all of the PO lines could be cancelled if not already closed so it worked out this time.  The PO135 cleared with the PO190.  Thanks.

We recently had a PO100 job stop in the 'waiting' queue due to 'invalid parameters.' Once I was notified of the issue, I was able to update the jobs step parameters and the job ran successfully. Unfortunately, the job had been failing for over 24hours without notification. We do not appear to have a way to be notified of such issues.   Does anyone have a notification system for when jobs fail or are stuck in 'waiting'   I don't have access to the server, i just add and maintain th...

Does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this error    Setup - PO25 Contract type Agreement without any agreement line in PO25.6   -  Allow reference of items not on agreement is Y.   Created a Service Type agreement in PO20. Was able to reference the Vendor Agreement but upon release getting the error - Vendor Agreement line could not be locked. 

I am looking to see how everyone else sends their item master information to third party vendors...  i.e IC11, IC12, PO13, PO25.6.  Multiple files sent  Is there a way to compile all of these files into one thank you Gabe

Hi all,   I am trying to change some flags on the Audit Rules to add more fields to our PO Audits. So we have the Y/N boxes for Audit and Print and in between is the Update field that is Y/N. I cannot change the Audit Y/N box if the Update field is N and I cannot find where to change that Update field. Any ideas   Thanks,

Is there a report that can be run to see if a req was approved via RQ13

Is anyone using a custom report instead of IC182 for par utilization  This is the logic Lawson uses but wondering if someone has come up with a better way to determine usage and par recommendations through a custom script.   Recommended Par Level (Avg. Requisition Qty (2*Std Deviation)) * Requisition Count * (Replenishment Days/Number of Days with Activity) Daily Average Utilization: Total Quantity in date range / days in range 1 Impact: (Recommended Par Level - C...

Looking to see if someone has developed an add-in upload to add buy UOM.  We'd like to be able to upload the buy UOM like this when adding a new item to IC11.      

Is there a way to determine what PO lines were received via MSCM and what lines were received via PO30  We would like to start tracking that data for some productivity reports.

Some Lawson forms in procurement, i.e. IC21, IC53 - make reference to a document ID. If you enter the company number, location, document ID and maybe another thing or two you can see all the items that are on the document. Is there a way to enter the information describing a document (location, company, doc ID etc.) and get the doc to list all the items so they can be printed out

I work for a large health system spread out across the US. Each region has it's own company code...I know within a region it's easy to do an inventory transfer from one perpetual inventory to another...Does Lawson allow us to transfer inventory to another  'company code'
