EDI 820 for Bank ACH

We are switching banks to use BMO Harris for AP.  They want to receive payments as EDI.  We have mostly worked through the setup, but ran into an issue with remittance advice to the vendor of the payment.  Lawson doesn't appear to send the PER segment for EDI which would include the contact information for the remittance advice.  I thought this was odd since the AP161 specifically adds contact information.

Has anyone else found a way to send this EDI segment?  Or what other solutions are you using to send remittance advice to vendors for ACH payments?

    We don't do the 820 but it seems like you could modify the Perl script to include a PER segment.  If you have a test system I would copy that part of the script from laws_out_91 and insert it into the script you're using for the 820 and test it.  I'm not a programmer or expert in Perl scripting but it might work.
