Interfacing data

You must prepare the non-Lawson interface files that contain the vendor items and pricing information, transfer the non-Lawson files to the server where your Infor Lawson System Foundation is installed, and load each transferred file into the appropriate Lawson interface file.

To interface data

Prepare the interface file. The file must be a comma-separated value (CSV) file and the file fields must match the order and data type of the fields in the appropriate interface file. File layouts are available on the Documentation page on the Infor Support Portal.
Transfer the CSV file to the server that contains the server where your Infor Lawson System Foundation is installed. You can use a standard transfer utility such as ftp or the Lawson program winptxfr.

Note: Data from the CSV file is loaded into the PO Vendor Agreement Header file and the PO Vendor Agreement Line file.
Run Vendor Price Agreement Load (PO536) to convert data. Verify that the data converted correctly and that it is complete and accurate.
Make corrections as necessary to the converted data by using the available programs in the Lawson system. See the Lawson Supply Chain Management Conversion Guide to identify the programs to help you correct the converted data.
