Using MFA for Lawson S3 Access

Does anyone use Multi Factor Authentication when users are accessing S3 Portal from the internet/DMZ? I have not been able to find any useful content on this issue, but I assume there are folks that there are some folks out there somewhere that utilize MFA for S3. Please advise if you have done so and are willing to share your experience and shed some insight on the process. (...where you found useful information & documentation on the process, pros, cons, any personal insight, etc...) Thank you in advance for any information you might share. Read More

Data / List view on Lawson Portal

Cannot change UOM. UOM used by item location

This seemingly simple error is giving me a huge headache. A user notified me stating they were having issues counting by the BX in IC72. I checked IC11 and noticed that the tracking flag was on for both BX and EA. When I tried to remove the tracking flag on BX, it stated that the UOM was used by item locations. Ok. No big deal.

When I went to remove the tracking flag I still received the same error though. I went through each warehouse location and checked the drill around->details to see if anyone had any stock by the BX but I couldn't see any. Ideas? Read More
