Standing order

Does anyone use Lawson for standing orders in PO25 and PO27? We implemented Lawson in October and are wondering how other heathcare facilities treat standing orders. Do you still use them or have end users use RQC to order frequent products? Should we use PO25 to track standing orders or is this more maintenance?

Thank you,
Andrea

We've never used PO25 for standing orders but we used to create standing orders in PO20. We ran into issues where AP would match an invoice to the wrong receipt if the deliveries were close together so we've moved away from standing orders and just copy/create new POs for each delivery.

We have a mix and are working to get all of our standing orders into PO25. Only certain departments use PO27 and those are few.

With our orders in PO20 instead of PO25: We also have the problem where AP matches invoices to the wrong receipt. With have issues with the standing orders with large quantities messing up our usage reports (looks like we use more than we really do - or if the PO lasts for more than 12 months we don't report the usage at all). The buyers try to keep a manual list of their standing orders that are in PO20 and many times forget to renew or check on renewal. In PO25 there is a report that can be run to show almost expiring/expired agreements.
