How to find accounting information on PO lines

/in , , /by

There are two places where GL distribution information resides. One is in MMDIST. If the item is a special item or not setup on IC12, then MMDIST is where you will find the GL distribution information.

Keep in mind that a PO line might have started as a requisition and the GL Distributions were added then. When you are looking for PO line distributions,  make sure you look for the document type of PO and specify the company and the document number that matches the PO you are looking for.

 

If the item is on IC12 it is either an inventory item or a non-stock item that is found at an IC location. All items that are setup on IC12 will have a GL Category assigned to them and that is where the GL distribution information can be found for these items. The key fields here are the Company – IC Location – Item. You will be able to find the GL distribution information for these items using these key fields on the GL Category table.

5 Powerful Automation Tricks With Trello Custom Fields & Butler

/in /by

Workflow processes are a great practice to keep your activities in order to achieve a business outcome. Trello boards, for example, can keep an entire team on the same page in real time.  The addition of Custom Fields to Trello boards are great for personalization and customization, but takes your processes to a whole new level. Thankfully, the folks at Trello make it possible to automate processes on your boards to make things even easier.

Lauren at Trello provides a breakdown of different workflows that utilize Custom Fields in tandem with Butler, Trello’s automation powerhouse.

Introducing Butler, a Trello Power-Up that allows you to set up “rules” in plain English that will then result in automated actions. Butler helps you with:

Agile Workflows – If you are using Trello in an agile workflow, you can set Custom Fields for Priority.

Checkbox Automation – You could also set a rule where once someone checks the “QA Passed” checkbox, the card is automatically moved into the “Ready For Production” list and a member of the server team is tagged.

Adding Approvers And Advancing Due Dates – You can set custom fields on an editorial calendar for author, editor, editor approval and draft due.

Sort Cards By Custom Fields Data – You can choose to sort cards based on Custom Fields data. For example: all cards have a Custom Field on them for “Assigned” where a person’s name is inputted to indicate they are the owner of the project.

Automate Commands Based On A Dropdown Menu – You can also take advantage of the dropdown menu option in Custom Fields.

Workflows in Trello don’t always need manual grooming. This time, let the robots – Butler – take care of the busy work for you!

Find database file by prefix

/in , , /by

Clicking Ctrl+Shift+O in a field on a screen in Lawson is a useful tool to determine what database file that field is populated by. This can be used in Lawson DME Queries, but it also can be used in SQL queries. The prefix of the field name (such as VEN) maps to the table name where the value comes from. If you don’t know how the prefix maps to a table, you can easily find this information in the GEN database. The table you want to search is FILEDEF on the PREFIX column. So, your query might look something like this:

SELECT * FROM FILEDEF WHERE PREFIX = ‘VEN’

This will return the record that contains table name and other information about the database file that populates this screen.

Three Ways Artificial Intelligence is Transforming ERP

/in /by

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly impacting the world of enterprise technology. In enterprise resource planning (ERP), for example, AI is already optimizing system-operating models as well as transforming business processes for enterprises and organizations globally. Automating AI with ERP software systems could bring great value to a business. Solutions Review shared 3 ways AI is transforming ERP.

  • Customer Service / CRM – AI-enabled ERP systems could utilize chatbots in order to respond to customer questions and comments. This gives an extra focus on customer service, as they are able to see what their customers are asking about in real-time, while a virtual assistant answers all the pertinent questions.
  • Sales and Marketing – AI allows a business to not only identify purchasing behavior but also hone in on who is buying what. They may find that there is a viable target market that has been left in branding and marketing schemes.
  • Inventory Management – When incorporating AI technology, you’re reducing the risk of over or under production. This means fewer inventory storage issues and no costly small-scale productions to make up a difference.

While some may still be on the fence to adopt AI technology in our work spaces, this new technology presents an innumerable amount of benefits for organizations already utilizing an ERP solution. Ultimately, AI in ERP means lower costs and higher revenue.

Troubleshooting ED501 job in recovery

/in , , /by

A common ED501 message is “WARNING: SUBSTITUTION TABLE ENTRY NOT FOUND”.  This substitution table is maintained in screen ED40.1, and if the key values passed to ED501 are missing, you will receive this error.  Simply update your ED40.1 and recover the job.

If this message causes your job to go into recovery, that is because you have not set up notifications for EDI.  If you set up notifications, then this message will cause an email to be sent about the warning, but the job will continue to process the remaining files.  Notifications are configured on ED00.1, as well as the configuration file located in the EDI directory.
