Detail Adjustments

January 23, 2019, 6:53 pm

We are new to creating reason codes for adjustments in IC24 but are getting an error. Here is how we are doing the process:

IC24.1:

- Enter Company and Location

- Select Add to create document

- Add line (FC, Item and Quantity - negative number to depict an adjustment out of inventory)

- Select change

- Go to IC24.2 > FC = C, add reason code and select change

However, when we select change, it gives an error stating that we cannot default issue cost on an adjustment out? But the weird thing is that when I tested this in our TEST environment, it worked without error?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Am I missing something or does this look to be a system issue?? I would assume you would want to define a reason code when adjusting inventory out of the system, so it does not make sense to me.

Thank you in advance!

How complex would it be to write our own IC527 out side of Lawson like a PHP program to create the interface to PICIS? Has anyone not use IC527 and used something else instead?

We are in the process of trying to get our system and data cleaned up but are unsure what jobs can "archive" the data. For example, we have several open lines that were not received from almost 3 years ago so at this point, we just need to cancel and clean up the data so the PO can be closed.

Can anyone share their best practices for how they keep their system clean - what jobs they run, who runs them and how often?

We are on v10, just migrated to 2012 servers and are hosted by Infor (AMS).

Thanks so much in advance!!

Using PO Codes on PO20

≪ Previous: Infor Inventory Intelligence for Healthcare

We have been using PO Codes on purchase orders for some time now (i.e., service, capital, etc), but due to new managers in AP and PO, we are having the discussion of whether they provide benefit. Of course those of us who have used them think they do.

Does anyone else use them and what are your thoughts about them? Do you use them for vendors that are faxed or go out EDI? Do you have problems in that area. Would you recommend them to others?

All answers, pro or con, would be helpful.

Thanks

We are currently on v9 of Lawson and 10.1.6.6 of MSCM, and have heard there was an updated version of MSCM that is now available that supports the Android platform. Is there anyone that has this new version installed and using an Android device? I need to review new hardware options, but wanted to get input/opinions on the Android options because of the lower cost and more options for devices. Have you had many issues with the new version of MSCM or the Android capability.

We're looking to create a custom report for cycle count accuracy. I know there's an ICACCURACY table but we're wanting to get down into the items themselves. Do historical item counts get stored somewhere? I cant seem to find that table.

Hello - probably an easy question - Say you stock a box of gloves in your main perpetual inventory. You want the OR's to replenish from inventory, but Ambulatory Clinics to replenish direct from vendor in LUM. Is this all driven by IC12? Today, Ambulatory replenishes from inventory, so that's the piece we want to change. I assume this means all of those sites would require IC12.1 & IC12.2 screens?

Secondly, if this is correct, what is best practice - create IC12 for ALL item master items or just the ones Ambulatory will use?

Thanks.

≪ Previous: Location Dependent Replenishment

Hello All!! Hoping someone has some advise and experience for me...

Current process: Item comes in through UPS/FedEx, delivered to building 1. Using RAD, we perform a miscellaneous receipt. This item needs to be delivered to building 2. In handing the item to our mailroom, they "deliver" the item in MSCM. They then keep manual records of where the item is delivered. Once it is "delivered", you cannot perform any other transactions, loosing a lot of information.

Question.... Can MSCM record multiple points until it reaches its final destination? Similar to FedEx... you can track your box and seeing the various depots the box was at until you get it...

Example:

Dock log - building 1
Receipt - building 1
Mailroom - building 1
Mailroom - building 2
Delivered to end user

Anyone have any ideas?

Much appreciated!

EDI Remit To Substitutions

≪ Previous: Making Deliveries across various buildings

Hey All,

I was wondering if any of you are using the Remit to substitution function and hopefully someone could explain to me exactly where it's grabbing the Lawson Value.

Trading Partner specific remit to code

Field	Value	Comments/Examples
List name	_I_REMITTO
Your value
External value		Value in N1RE04

Scanario: We have Abbott all under a single vendor number with multiple purchase from locations. For example Abbott Vascular is P005 and Abbott Nutrition is P005. The invoices for these come in with a Remit to of Abbott Labs and apparently this causes our AP processor in charge of EDI vendors to have to manually change the Remit To for invoices from these trading partners prior to payment. I'm wondering if this is the correct application for the substitution table entry and if so, where are we setting up the Remit to code?

I know that the external value is in Segment 04 but just need to figure out where and what to setup to get it to work correctly.

REF^OQ^500181533563~

N1^RE^ABBOTT NUTRITION^91^0042831150114~

N3^P.O Box 92679~

Any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to modify IC140 so the output shows average cost? Materials would like to review cost prior to PO100.

Or is there a different place other than PO100 or PO254 to see the cost by item for inventory PO's by date range?

Thanks.

Hello,

My health system is using V10 of Lawson and cannot find a report that would show us Inventory Turns. Would anyone be willing to share your formula for this important calculation? From what I have been told, we never could calculate Inventory Turns from Lawson. Coming from the manufacturing world I find it a little difficult to believe a procurement software does not have this capability.

Any help you an give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Hello Fellow Members,

I was looking to get an idea of what the average inventory accuracy is out there? Running IC286 really only gives you an absolute picture but its a start.

A bit off the Lawson path, I was also wondering if anyone has a picking policy they would be willing to share. We are battling inventory accuracy that seems to be rooted in pulling errors.

Hi all,

I'm new to Lawson Guru, so any help at all is appreciated!

Who out there is in charge of maintaining their company's item master, or is familiar with their company's process? We're always looking at ways to streamline our methods, and it would be nice to know any tips or tricks we can use. If you respond, please answer the following questions:

1) What is your process for adding new items?
2) What is your process for item revisions/changes?
3) How much time do you spend doing both in a typical day (not that we usually have those!

)

If you need me to clarify or specify anything, please let me know.

Thanks!

MSCM Dock Logging - Freight Deliveries

≪ Previous: Item Adds/Changes Best Practice

Hi All...

MSCM does a great job working with UPS/FedEx when capturing the tracking numbers and keeping count of how many were scanned. I would love to use this same functionality with vendors delivering directly to the hospital or things being delivered by freight companies.

Does anyone have any practices that allow these types of deliveries be captured with dock logging when tracking number or bar codes are not provided? Then, if something is dock logged, it can most likely be miscellaneous received. Thus, we can track the delivery within the health system and its delivery point.

Any ideas is appreciated!

Thanks!

Good Afternoon,

I will apologize now if this is not the right section of the forum to ask this but I was wondering what system you are using to manage invoice,packing slips, other documents related to purchasing if you are on Infor's cloud-suite?

We are currently on V10 and use Image Now but we had a demo of cloud-suite and we are considering if we want to start storing them in Lawson and get rid of image now when we upgrade. I just curious if anyone has ever looked at it and what they decided to do?

Thanks,
