    Has anyone had any experience with commitments and how to handle at go live?

    We currently use an encumbrance system and are trying to determine how to treat open POs in our old system at go live and whether we should convert the POs to Lawson and pay from Lawson or somehow continue to use the current(old) system and either use reports out of both systems and pay out the open POs in the old system or what?

    We are implementing GL, AP, PO, AC, HR/PR, CB, AM, LM...I think that's it...and go live is 07/01/2011:)

    Any experience, headaches, things you wish you would have done differently will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

      When we implemented Lawson we tried to pay out all of our pos in the non-lawson system as much as we could. The only ones that could not be paid were brought into Lawson. The decision was based on how matching works in Lawson. Matcing and the rules to setup matching in Lawson require a thorugh understaning of the data and how to set them up in Lawson and play with variuos different scebnarios while testing matching.

      Once you go through the initial hurdle you will love matching and how it works perfectly but in the beginning it may be a challenge to completely understand the whole concept. So we decided to pay out as much as we could in our old system as we could.
