Hello - We have a newer hospital that has no available space for a perpetual inventory location, but we have a few Supply Rooms that are set up as PAR locations in Lawson. Is it possible for these Supply Rooms to be used to replenish other PAR locations via MSCM? Seems possible with some IC02 & IC12 work, but if someone could speak from experience I'd appreciate it!

User Productivity - IC and WH transactions
Hello All... I am looking for a way in Lawson I can see users' activities. Specifically, when closing out requisitions in WH32 or issuing out items with IC21. With the help of this great group of people, PO58 shows me a user's receipts. I'm looking for the same thing but with WH and IC transactions.
I appreciate everyone's time and help!
Thx

How to set up new storeroom location for Req Self Service
Our organization has a main hospital and a smaller one which we acquired. The main hospital has Req Self Service working for the various departments to order (or requisition) product from the storeroom. Every hour the requisitions are processed and pick tickets printed for the storeroom staff to deliver. The smaller hospital was acquired after all this Req stuff was set up and the departments there get their product from the storeroom but however they do it, it's a fully manual process.
I wasn't in on the initial setup of our req self service but would like to set it up for the smaller hospital. They have their own storeroom with its own name in Lawson from which I'd like them to requisition their product. Can anyone tell me which jobs need to be set up in Lawson to process the req's and print the pick tickets at the storeroom for them as happens at our main hospital? Thanks.

0 on hand
Hello, we have a report that shows us the items with a 0 on hand balance. Is there a table that records this so we could go back a month and see what items hit 0 on hand and what date? Or does this have to be a current status ?

Lawson S3 IC12 Average Leadtime
Hi Lawson Team,
I would like to ask if anyone knows how to the system calculates the average leadtime in IC12 if the control code is "R""need review". I know that if the system control code is "S""system calculated" it takes the average of previous and last leadtime but for "R", I'm not able to figure out, please help.
In IC226 it says that if the average leadtime is greater than 50% and the item was set for review then it will recalculate and will give a new average cost but not base on the previous and last leadtime.
Regards,
Mike

MSCM Delivery Document via PO30
Is it possible to print the MSCM delivery document when receiving in PO30? There are times where PO30 is needed to receive instead of using MSCM and staff would like the normal MSCM delivery document with barcode to print.

RQC Non-Stock Template
RQC non stock templates. I am trying to change an item that was once an inventory item to non-stock.
I inactivated the item in IC12 but the requestor now get an error message in RQC, when selecting that item – “the item you selected is not valid based on your requester set up”. How can I set this up without activating the item in IC12 again? I left the From Location blank thinking that would do it. Still getting error message
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Contract Categories in Contract Management
Hi All,
I'm a fairly novice Contract Management user. I noticed that we can create "Categories" via Contract Administrator-General Setup-Categories.
I'm looking to create a category for each of our product categories and then tag each individual contract to its category. The goal is to be able to run a quick and easy report based on category in order to see where standardization opportunities arise. While creating the category is easy, I cannot locate anywhere on the contract itself to associate a category to it. Can anyone assist?
If I am off base here and there is a much better way to do this, please let me know. Thank you for your time in advance.

UDI/MU3 data in Lawson
Is anyone using Lawson S3 or MSCM to capture UDI information for MU3 compliance? If so, where are you capturing that data or its components - IC, MSCM, POU? Trying to figure out where that data is stored or could be stored.

Epic/Lawson Data
Anyone pulling data out of Epic and marrying it to Lawson supply cost data to create dashboards? We've been looking for a way to do this even pre-Epic when we had Cerner. We want to be able to see supply cost per procedure per physician with outcomes (length of stay, re-admissions, complications) and bring in patient demographics. Can you use Epic's data warehouse, Caboodle to do this?
We are already interfacing supply data from Lawson to Epic daily so I would think Epic would have all the data we need.

Managing and planning slow moving and obsolete items
Hi,
my company has several warehouses in different areas. Every warehouse manages its inventory and purchasing by itself. Some of our products become obsolete for some warehouses but they still can be sold from another warehouse.
We have defined obsoletes as items with no sale for more than one year for every warehouse (it means every warehouse may have different obsoletes) and run a report of obsoletes every month. Right now there are hundreds of items.
My question is if there is an option of setup that would prevent from buying from a supplier an item that is obsolete in some warehouse. In other words, if the purchased item by warehouse 1 is an obsolete item in warehouse 2, the system creates a message for example "Item
Or do you have any better idea how to manage that kind of items?
Thanks for help

Accounts Payable Invoice Automation
We are looking for third party solutions that integrate well with Lawson to automate our AP invoice process. This would include OCR to capture invoice data directly into Lawson AP and an approval process. We are also looking for a vendor (ideally the same one) that processes employee expenses through a portal also. We have a couple in mind Concur, Lexmark or Ascend. Does anybody have any experience with an intergation of this type that they are willing to share?

Performing Cycle Counts
Cycle Counting.... I am developing the cycle counting procedure for the hospital. I would like to use Lawson as much as I can, as we use it for everything else. My thought process is: if Lawson can process cycle counts, let's use it. My problem is I am not familiar enough with Lawson. If we can't use Lawson effectively, then I have an Excel sheet to use as plan B.
We have our items setup as ABC classification. A is counted every month. B is counted every quarter. C is counted every 6 months.
1. Can we setup Lawson to tell us when to count the item? As an example, can Lawson tell me to count item XYZ today and then again next month? Can Lawson tell me item ABC should be counted tomorrow, and then not again until next quarter?
2. When performing a cycle count, must I freeze the items being counted? It seems as though, in Lawson's eyes, cycle counting is the same process as performing a physical inventory? Or am I missing something?
I know some folks don't freeze the inventory, but perform adjustments when cycle counting. I don't think our 'powers to be' will accept that practice. Which is why I am trying to figure out the appropriate way of doing this. Again... the difficult thing here, is our storerooms are open 24/7. So, if I can get around freezing inventory and still being able to perform a quality cycle count, I am all for it.
The ultimate goal is to put together a good process and hopefully get away from an annual physical inventory.
This is a really good group and I love hearing the different ideas of accomplishing something.
Many thanks in advance!

MSCM: Handhelds lose server address
Occasionally, for no reason that's apparent to me, our Dolphin 9550's lose the server address in the MSMC application. Usually the material handler doesn't find out until they have to upload their counts and they get "A network connection is needed..." message. The only way to fix this is to go into the settings and re-add the address but they have to exit the par counting area to get there thus losing all they have counted. Does anyone know what causes this? Is it a defect in the 9550 or the MSCM application? Is it something the material handler might be doing?

Requesting Portal
Looking to see if anyone is using an enhanced requesting portal outside of RQC that plays nice with Lawson. We're looking at options that would provide a better user experience than what RQC provides.

MSCM/RAD Enhancement Request - Vote!
Hello - Please see request 28120 to review & hopefully support - Functionality in MSCM/RAD to create a delivery ticket per box for PO's with multiple boxes. Business reasons listed below. Thanks much!
Let’s say we have 1 PO with 5 boxes making up the items ordered on the PO. In current state, we can see that 5 boxes were dock logged, but the scanning by box ends there. If we only get one delivery ticket, how can we be sure all 5 boxes stayed together & we’re delivered #1 at the same time, & #2 to the right department? Or what if a box got left on a cart undelivered with no delivery ticket? How would you know where it was to go to?
In reference to reporting, in current state, let’s say 1 PO took a clerk 5 minutes to deliver to the OR, & another PO took a different clerk 30 minutes to deliver to the OR. The difference would not be obvious today, but with scanning by box, it could be learned that an additional box got left behind at the dock & the clerk had to go back to the dock, get the box, & deliver it, therefore justifying the additional time required.

MSCM Printing Upon Pick for Par
I have a user that wants a report to print out any time that they pick for par in MSCM MPC. I can't think of any way to do this except for a customization - that isn't really part of our scope for one user. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?
I informed her that she could see recent requests in RQC but that doesn't work for her.

IC142 by Vendor/Day
We are trying to figure out a way to run our IC142 where we can have specific vendors only create requisitions once a week on specific days. We have a few vendors that want a once a week PO for our new service center, so running an IC142 wide open will not work, but then we have other vendors that will accept a PO daily. We were looking at using the "Vendor Attribute list", but not sure if this is the best route, or if there is another option that has works better. Any suggestions would be great.
