Lawson and Epic/Optim
Is anyone using Epic/Optim in their OR? What is your practice for building items in the Lawson item master for Optim?

GLN Work Around
We are working on boarding more vendors using GLN but have been running into some snags. Read More...
PR195 Accrued Payroll
We currently run the PR195 using the T - time record method.  Our payroll dept processes bi-weekly pay cycles and we'll run the accrual basically right before they finish up the cycle prior to them running the PR197 payroll close. But all of the company paid benefits like taxes or retirement, etc. are all too low. I can't figure out what calculations the program is going through to end up with this result. Read More...
Thanks for your continued support of the LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com.

 

Sincerely,
