Lawson Distribution Management process flow
The Lawson Distribution Management applications can be broken down into four main processes: setup, order processing, customer billing, and sales analysis. This section provides an overview of these processes.
Setup
When you set up the Lawson Distribution Management applications, you must consider how:
-
goods are priced
-
orders are processed
-
goods are distributed
-
customers are billed
-
sales data is viewed and reports are generated
Order Processing
The Order Processing phase begins when the sales order is entered and includes important steps from allocating inventory through warehouse processing.
Customer Billing
The Customer Billing phase begins with the resulting invoice from shipment, including printing the invoice, and ends with updating other applications, such as General Ledger and Accounts Receivable.
Sales Analysis
The Sales Analysis phase provides access to the data produced in the Order Processing and Customer Billing phases and to order demand and sales figures.
