Switching company from Batch Release to Invoice Release

Our company is merging with another company onto the same Lawson system. The AP dept uses only one company and we are set up as a Batch Release. The other AP dept uses Invoice Release and because this is set up at the company we can only do it one way. We are encountering alot of system issues/error messages trying to change the parameters on the company to Invoice Release. Has anyone else made this switch successfully and what tips do you have?

This suggestion is somewhat painful and expensive, but if your servers are older and the Lawson release is also getting old, plan and migrate both companiens to an all brand-new system with the latest and greatest versions. In the long run, you will be glad you did.

We are trying to incorporate this change as we upgrade to 10.0.5 from 9.01. Our issues have to do with the unreleased invoices in the system already. We cant just ignore those and leave behind! When we made the change to AP00.4 behind the scenes, we started to encounter some curr tables error messages on GL10. We only use one currency USD.

Then it sounds like you will have to make other updates behind the scenes, too. There must be records unset columns for currency must to be updated.

Key on error messages that point to specific fields for specific records. Make sure all the defaults are set correctly for company, vendor-group, cash-code, banks, etc.

For example:
select errornbr
from GEN.CRTERRMAP
R_MESSAGE LIKE 'exact message%'
---
result TRANCODE=GL10, Errornbr=138
---
$ lashow $LAWDIR/prodline/ifsrc/GL10PD
find 'MOVE 138'

010250 IF (GL10F1-GLS-CURR-CODE-1 NOT = SPACES)
010260 MOVE GL10F1-GLS-CURR-CODE-1 TO DB-CURRENCY-CODE
010270 PERFORM 840-FIND-CUCSET1
010280 IF (CUCODES-NOTFOUND)
010290 MOVE 138 TO CRT-ERROR-NBR
010300 MOVE GL10F1-GLS-CURR-CODE-1-FN TO CRT-FIELD-NBR
010310 GO TO 255-END

Supposing this was the message, it looks like a blank GLSYSTEM.CURR_CODE_1 caused the problem.

It's tedious, but it works with every program.
