Welcome to the latest issue of The LawsonGuru Letter, a free newsletter providing provocative commentary on issues important to the Lawson Software community.  The LawsonGuru Letter is published by--and is solely the opinion of--John Henley of Decision Analytics. 
Month End Variance
Anyone have any insight on why there would be a variance at month between my IC234 and GL90? What I'm looking for is a way to investigate variances so that we can easily identify mistakes. We have 14 locations and every month 1 or 2 of them has a fairly significant variance. Read More...
LP31 dates
I have searched and searched for additional documentation on LP31 dates. The user guide does not go into detail and the field help is not helping. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you!  Read More...
Brush Up on my Lawson SCM Knowledge
I need to brush up on my Lawson SCM knowledge and was wondering the best route to accomplish this. The last time I worked on Lawson was 2008. I'm needing to refresh my memory very quickly. Any recomendations will be appreciated. Thank you very much. Read More...

Safety Stock in IC12
Is the upload process for Safety Stock in IC12 a manual transaction or can it be uploaded by another IC-type form. I know there is IC120 but this is for EOQ - (Which I'm still not too sure how useful that is). Does anyone have experience with inputting values into Safety stock? And once this is filled, I believe there is a report I can run to see what is below my safety stock so I can start questioning/reseaching why it's below this point, right? Read More...
Thanks for your continued support of the LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com.
