How Asset Management interfaces with other Lawson applications
Asset Management interfaces with Accounts Payable, Project Accounting, and General Ledger and other non-Lawson applications.
| Accounts Payable and other applications | An invoice can be created directly in Accounts Payable or it can be created from a processed Purchase Order in the Invoice Matching application. Asset detail can be associated with an invoice before it is released. Releasing an invoice associated with an asset template automatically sends the Asset Management application all the information it needs to automatically create an asset from the invoice. |
| Project Accounting |
Project Accounting transfers the costs of completed activity information to Asset Management for asset creation. Asset Management posts assets and related depreciation to Project Accounting. |
| Lease Management | Lease Management sends the lease information needed to create leased assets for capital leases |
| General Ledger | Asset Management passes journal entry information to General Ledger for each user-specified period, including journal transactions with each addition, adjustment, transfer, disposal and depreciation. |
| Attribute Matrix |
Attribute Matrix maintains the ASSET object attributes, valid attribute values, attribute templates, and attribute lists. Asset Management assigns values to ASSET object attributes and uses the attributes as fields for sorting and reporting. |
| Strategic Ledger | Asset Management sends user analysis values to Strategic Ledger for reporting. |
| Infor Process Automation |
If you use Infor Process Automation, triggers and services are available to send notification when a new asset is released, an adjusted asset is released, an asset is transferred, and when an asset is disposed. For descriptions of available services, see the LPA Services for Infor Lawson Reference Guide. For information on how to design service and flows and use Infor Process Automation, see the Lawson Process Automation Administration Guide. |
| Non-Lawson |
Asset Management lets you send journal entries to a non-Lawson general ledger through a custom interface. The Asset Management application can receive asset records from non-Lawson applications through a custom interface. |
