Use of authority codes in AP

cpashley

Hi - I was wondering if I could get some feedback on how Lawson clients are using the authority code field in AP20.  We use batches and our companies are set up for batch invoicing.  Can you use the authority code and make it vendor specific and then avoid the batch process?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

We were a batch company for years and found it difficult to switch when we implemented our OCR/imaging system. Unforunately we couldn't just flip the flags already set up on the Company. We had to get a custom program from Lawson to run all our previous yrs of invoices through to default to a generic Auth Code. Then we flipped our company to Invoice Release to use Auth Codes. This was during our conversion to Version 10. We use Auth Code by Data Entry Operator and type of "interfaces" such as patient refunds, garnishments, similar to how we did it with the batch process. However, I see you can assign a Auth Code to a vendor in AP10, assuming this code would default when an invoice is entered for that vendor so it should work. Good Luck! Karen Pierson
