I am curious how others are processing retro benefit deductions and refunds. When we were previously on PeopleSoft there was delivered functionality to calculate any retro benefit deductions or refunds to employees. In Lawson the Benefits Department is spending a full day manually calculating deductions and refunds to submit to Payroll for processing. Curious how other Lawson customers are processing these.  Read more

Any hospital ordering reprocessed goods? We will soon begin recycling via Hygia, some commonly used items i.e. BP CUFFS ; CHAIR PADs for buy back from our distributor. These items are in our inventory locations and also housed in Pxyis. The fill rate of the reprocessed goods will be 65%,and the 35% remainder new product will be shipped. We are dealing with two different vendor item numbers for the same item ( one reprocessed the other new ). Would you use one Lawson number and sub when the reprocessed runs out set up two Lawson number? We are searching for a smooth process with the least amount of impact. Any advise? Thank you!  Read more

We have a Foundation department at our company and they manage employee donations to charities and funds. We have donation campaigns where if employees want to, they can choose to donate money from their check or PTO to a campaign. We currently have a custom form created in Lawson for the employee to submit their donation. My question - do any other companies use Lawson to allow employees to donate to charity? If so, how do you capture the donation requests - via a custom form like us, or another way?  Read more
