"Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment."
-- Rita Mae Brown
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. 
HR Groups - Effective Dates
Is there a file that stores the date an employee was added to a group and/or when they dropped out of a group?

Item Master Fields - Major Minor Class
My manager was hoping to poll some users.
  1. What fields do you populate in IC11?
  2. How are you using Inventory Major/Minor?
  3. How are you using Purchasing Major/Minor?
  4. Do you use UNSPSC codes? If you are, how do they relate to Inventory/Purchasing Major Minor?
We have 120K active items and have noted that Family/Class in the UNSPSC would gives us 250 categories - a seemingly good classification system. We were wondering how that compares to others. Read More...
Thanks for your continued support of the LawsonGuru Letter and LawsonGuru.com.

 

Sincerely,

Predictive Analytics Continue to Elude Healthcare
