Welcome

What is a Hot Topic?
A hot topic is a regularly scheduled live,
recorded webinar session that will provide
technical information and tips on a featured
support topic to our maintenance customers.
Lawson Global Support will offer at least 1 M3
and 1 S3 hot topic per month (additional hot
topics may added as needed).
What is the schedule for Hot Topics?
M3 is the last Tuesday of the month, S3 is the
last Thursday of the month.
What is the format?
There will be a 35-45 minute presentation with
15-20 minutes at the end for questions. All
questions must be entered via the Question and
Answer on the webinar.
What other Hot Topics are scheduled?
You can find the hot topic schedule by going to
Mylawson.com gt Home gt My Announcements gt Customer
only Webinars from Support.

Understanding MA730

Lawson has improved the Match process by changing
the way the system looks for open receipts that
are available to match.
Instead of looking to a Match Pool, the system is
now looking to the Purchase Order Receipt line
for an Open to Match Qty.
Do you find the All Rule Group Levels, Match
Unsuccessful, Missing Receipt Detail, or No
Receipts Available for Match messages more
frequently than you used to?
MA730 can improve your matching performance.

Adding MA730 to your system

MA730 PT 173763 is available to update
existing receipt lines with an Open to Match Qty.
Unix/NT
Applications version 8.0.3 CTP 54730 (included
in 8.0.3.12)
Applications version 8.1.0 CTP 54731 (not
included in MSP)
Applications version 9.0.0 CTP 54732 (included
in 9.0.0.5)
ISeries
Applications version 8.0.3 PT 173840
Applications version 8.1.0 PT 173839
Applications version 9.0.0 PT 173838

What does MA730 do?

PORECLINE (DBPOPRL)
The purchase order line must be open/released.
The purchase order receipt header must be
open/released.
The purchase order receipt line Ent-Rec-Qty
Matched Qty Open to Match Qty.
Existing receipt lines that have Ent-Rec-Qty
Matched Qty gt Zero will have MA730 populate the
appropriate Open to Match Qty.
MA730 will need to be run once in Update Y for
each company that has invoice matching.
MA730 may need to be run in the future when CTPs
or MSPs are installed.
Clients upgrading applications will need to run
MA730 to be sure all receipts are properly
updated prior to Upgrade.
If you are not sure if MA730 has been run on your
companies, you can run it now. Running the MA730
again will not adversely affect your records.

6
What about new receipt lines?

CTPs/patches are provided here for your
reference.
Please be sure that these changes have been
installed into your system.
Once these changes are installed into your
system, you should no longer need to run MA730,
except after CTP install or Upgrade.
All future receipt lines should be created with
the appropriate Open to Match Qty already
populated.
This is by no means a complete list of all CTPs
you should have installed in your system.
These patches are provided only as a listing of
favorite CTPs that I recommend to clients.
You may find that many of these changes are
already included in your current code.

8.0.3 Applications Version

8.1.0 Applications Version

9.0.0 Applications Version

10
9.0.1 Applications Version

At this time, I am aware of no CTPs needed to be
added for the Open To Match process to work
properly.
If you find that you have trouble matching an
invoice to a receipt, and the receipt line is
missing an Open to Match Qty, please report this
issue to the Global Support Procurement
department for further assistance.

11
Do I still need to run MA310?

MA310 will no longer need to be run to update
matching pool count records.
Use MA310 only when there is a need to change a
Company (MA01) or AP Vendor (AP10) existing pool
option.
Using Pool Option 1 will still look to all
invoices and receipts for a Company and Vendor,
as being available to be matched.
Using Pool Option 2 will still look to invoices
and receipts specific to one purchase order, as
being available to be matched.
Using Pool Option 3 will still look to invoices
and receipts specific to one purchase order and
Ship To Location, as being available to be
matched.

12
Smart Reconciliation (SMR)

Please be sure to update your Smart Recon version
to the latest patch.
Open to Match Qty has also changed the way SMR
looks to receipts as available to be matched.

13
MA05.1 Handling Code Heads Up

MA05.1 Handling Code Please be sure that ALL
handling codes have the Drop Ship Flag populated
with N or Y. If you have upgraded from a lower
version of applications, this flag may be blank.
If you see any handling code with Drop Ship flag
blank, do a Change on MA05.1 and put in a N or Y
as appropriate.

14
AP195 New Feature

There is now a listing provided of Unposted
Distributions which are preventing the Month End
Close from completing.
ISeries 9.0 PT 175345
Unix/NT PT 170482
803 applications version CTP 52950
810 applications version CTP 52951
900 applications version CTP 52952
The new listing will aid in your month end close
by giving you the invoices which are holding up
the AP195 from successfully completing.

MA180 Before you Start

MA180 can be a useful tool to writeoff and/or
archive receipts which will not be matched in the
future.
Using these steps can improve the writeoff and/or
archive process.
Copy your Production data into a Test system.
Run the MA180 in Nonupdate mode in Test system,
and verify the data to be written off and/or
archived is correct.
Then run a new job name MA180 in Update mode in
Test system, and verify the data is correct.
This allows any problem receipts, found in the
Test system, to be corrected in Production before
you run the MA180 in Update.
Do not delete or recover an MA180 job in Needs
Recovery without the assistance of the Lawson
Global Support Procurement department.

16
MA180 Tips and Techniques

Use small date ranges (3 to 6 months) at a time.
Any open receiver or receiver line that has an
associated closed po line should be addressed
before running in update.
MA180 should be run prior to moving to new
application versions.
Any receivers from prior versions should be
looked at prior to running MA180 especially if
they are prior to 8.0 apps.
You should not use SQL or quickpaint on any
transactions connected to receivers when MA180 is
being run in update.
There is no UNDO on MA180.
Use the MA180 job parameters with care. It is
possible to writeoff and/or archive every
unmatched receipt from yesterday and back.
ALWAYS run in Nonupdate mode and verify the
results prior to running in Update mode.
