Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to import credit card transactions We currently upload every credit card by month separately as a Journal Entry. And the more we grow, the more users receive credit cards and it came up in discussion - how do other companies handle their credit card purchases From what I've seen there's a P-card module We currently don't utilize it. How useful is the module Or does anyone use an external software to track their detail and up...

We have to complete several asset surveys each year. The surveys require us to group certain pieces of equipment in categories with ACES codes. These 3 digit codes are used to report out equipment like computers (code 311), Office equipment (312), medical equipment (317). In our old Sage Fixed Assets software we created a category that was required for each asset to be either NA (for building, land, leasehold improvements) or one of the 3 digit codes for moveable, fixed, and software. This w...

Our vendor master controller has inactivated a vendor due to a merger and now invoices coming in electronically are rejecting. I've seen other vendors with a status of PO Add Inactive, which I understand does not allow for new POs and that's all the definition I can find on it. Will this status allow invoices for POs already created to pass through electronically

I'm looking at APDISTRIB records and their linked (GLT_OBJ_ID) GLTRANS records. The GLTRANS records have AP / AP175, as the interface. What populates the R_DATE of the GLTRANS I was trying to determine if any distributions hit a prior month after statements were issued.

We are running Lawson 10 and have users who submit jobs & reports. Sometimes a user submits a job/report that runs for over a 1/2 hour. Is there a way in Lawson 10 to kill this job maybe through Print Manager or does it have to be done on the back end (maybe through LID) and what would be the command to do this. Thank you in advance! Allen

What is the easiest way to enter the PO and see the overall payments and overall remaining balance (money left on the PO) User is currently using PO64, but thinks there must be a better way Thank you Jim

Hello - Let's say you have a multiple line PO, & when the invoice is applied, at least 1 line creates a PO cost message. Do you hold payment until the invoice can be paid in its entirety or do you pay on the matched lines per normal terms, then pay the discrepant line(s) at a later time once the cost message is resolved And is either direction dictated by a setting in Lawson Thanks.

Currently in our Lawson security, AP owns the MA60 screen, but doesn't like to use it. They believe that all invoices should match in AP20 perfectly. However, when they don't, they will not go to MA60 to release the payment unless they are instructed by Supply Chain. Otherwise it sits on our exceptions database in SharePoint. So I asked them why should AP own it if Supply Chain has to tell them when to use it I'm just curious .... Who owns the MA60 screen at your place of business
