Accounts Receivable (AR) for activity-based transactions

Legacy Contributor

For all of the activity-based users out there - do you use Lawson for your accounts receivable processing, or do you utilize a different system? We are attempting to move our AR process from a database to Lawson, but Lawson does not allow us to auto-apply cash payments to open invoices at an activity level. The AR130 screen (auto-application) is great, but it applies at a customer level and not an activity level. There are multiple screens that allow us to manually apply the payment to an invoice (AR30, AR32, AR33), but that seems extremely tedious and is less efficient than our current process.

Any thoughts/comments/ideas on how other companies use Lawson's AR application at an activity level would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

We do use AR for our activity-based invoices. It is frustrating to us as well that there is no automated cash app process and use AR32 to apply payments. I actually created a mashup in Smart Office that makes this process fairly quick, are you an LSO user? The mashup pulls a query of open payments and then when you select one of the open payments, it pushes the payment information into AR32.
