Our Epic team wants Lawson to be the source of truth for their bin locations. I would rather they manage that within Epic instead of mucking up our bin location fields.

We are submitting our forms ourselves this year (last year we had a third party do it), and when we are uploading the BN299 xml and manifest to the test site, it keeps giving us errors on address line 1. Error message AIRSH100 "XML Schema Validation Failed - not well formed or missing required elements". All the addresses that have fallen out on the error report have been apartments. We have been putting them on Address Line 1 for ease of report pulling. Have you been putting apartments on Address Line 2? Is this what the IRS is looking for? I'm trying to make heads or tails of this schema it's referring to, but it doesn't make any sense. Read more

I'd love to hear how people are managing their prepaid expenses using Lawson? Currently we are tracking them on a spreadsheet. When the invoice comes in they are added to the spreadsheet and reclassed to a prepaid expense account on the G/L and then we doing a recurring entry (GL70) to allocate expense monthly. I'm looking for a more efficient way of doing this that is less manual? Read more
