Approval Authority Limits
Our signature authority thresholds have not changed since we went live with Lawson back in 1996. In prepping for our new system, we're looking to update them and were wondering if anyone would be willing to share theirs?
Price Changing
Does anyone know how to find out which Lawson user changed an item price? Like a change log? I've checked the audit log, but nothing shows.
Procedure Info Missing In GHX
We have started using procedure information for certain vendors and have also enabled the data onto PO's (PO10.1). We have checked a few PO's that were transmitted through GHX and see that the Serial and Lot numbers are listed correctly at GHX but some of the other fields like Physician Name, Procedure Date, and Case Number are not appearing. Do they need to "turn something on"? Do we need to change to a different "MAP" or "PROCESS"(ED10) for this to be sent? I am not sure it's on our Lawson side or the GHX side. Read More
Configuration Console Default Custom Field
I created a custom field on the Candidate Bus Class and put it onto the Candidate_Primary form. I then took the Candidate.Newfield name and have it defaulting onto the Hire and Rehire forms in the JobApplication Bus Class. So far that is working great. Getting the value to default onto the Employee LRCDetail form during the Hire/Rehire action is where I am having trouble. I can't seem to figure out how. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
