Comments can be a little tricky in Lawson
When dissecting the Object field of the comment (which contains the actual verbiage of the comment and other information) the first value is TYPE. This type determines the type of the comment that is stored.
The comment types for those added to an AP Invoice are as follows:
| Invoice Note/Report/Check Comments | Type=A |
| Invoice Notes | Type=N |
| Invoice Report Comments | Type=D |
| Invoice Check Comments | Type=C |
Keep in mind that to have the comments print on a check, not only would you need to have an Invoice Note/Report/Check Comments or Invoice Check Comments the users need to make sure that when the payment processing jobs (AP155/AP160 or AP161) needs to be set to Print or Include Comments.
Retiring Lawson, PeopleSoft, or Oracle? APIX archives the entire application — every table, every year, attachments and security included — into your own AWS account in about 30 days, so you can decommission the legacy system and keep full access to the history.
