Editor's Notes
- Ever growing consulting firm Many willing and capable consultants to help you with your Lawson endeavors
- Require a reason code selection for disapproved transactions Enhance communication back to requesters and log reasons for auditing Reason codes can be defined in %LASRCDIR%\productline\prodline.lpl or click the Add Subject button under the data area in Configuration Console Not well documented or even supported outside GHR, available in Lmrk 10.1.1.recent
- New RQC Home Page – How do you enable?
- To be fair this is really applicable to Healthcare. But it’s there, easy to rollout and super helpful. Requesters (RQ04) – Added Allow Display of Procedure Info flag (Requisition Center tab). This controls whether the Procedure tab is available in RQC. The Procedure Information screens (RQ11.2, PO21.6 and RQ23.1) - Can be secured using the standard Lawson security methods. Procedure Info Output (PO01.5) is used at the PO Company level to configure which fields to output for print and EDI, and which fields to mask. This same configuration is available for specific Vendors through PO Vendor (PO10.1) and PO Vendor Location (PO10.2). The system checks PO Vendor Location (PO10.2), PO Vendor (PO10.1), and PO Company (PO01) in that order. Bill Codes can be related to PO Codes on the PO Codes setup (PO05). If you have been using PO Codes to identify Bill Only PO’s, you can now relate a Bill Code to the PO Code. The Bill Code values are: o BO - Bill Only o BR - Bill and Replace o RO - Replace Only o WO - Waste Only
- In place upgrade from Landmark 10.1.1.x is supported Custom Business Class – What does that mean?
- Runs on Windows without SharePoint Available for Lawson 10x today – prerequisites are extensive Check KB 1859277 ADFS authentication required Many usability and visual improvements

- If you aren’t on v11, why not?? Stabile mature system, third iteration, Xi platform
- Some of this functionality kind of exists in S3 but not nearly as robust… This is the HCM software Lawson and infor have been investing in for the last 10 years. Position Budgeting: In S3 it is maintained on the PA70. In GHR, you have the entire module to set up position plans by different rules Employee Relations: In S3, employee relations was limited to 1 screen for both grievances and discipline (PA59). Though this form has a lot of fields on it, it Occupational Health: Safety Management:
