Vendor Price Agreement Import (PO536)

Run Vendor Price Agreement Import (PO536) to load vendor information into a Lawson application. You can then add vendor items to the item master file and pricing information to the vendor agreement file.

This program consists of three phases which can be run individually or together:

• Run Phase 1 to load the vendor agreement file.
• Run Phase 2 to set the Lawson Item Flag. The value you select determines, in Phase 3, wether a Lawson item number will be assigned to the vendor agreement line.
• Run Phase 3 to update the agreement lines with the Lawson Item.

On the Agreement tab, the Cost Tolerance Percent and the Cost Tolerance Amount are the parameters that, if exceeded, cause the costs on the catalog file to require manual review before they are used. You can select a connector (AND/OR) between the Cost Tolerance Amount and Cost Tolerance Percent that determines how they work together. Cost Tolerance Percent and Amount can both be left empty. In that case, there will be no tolerances to exceed and no vendor agreement lines flagged as needing cost acceptance or deletion. The acceptance tolerance percentage and acceptance tolerance dollar amount can be used separately or together in the acceptance testing of the future cost. When used together, the percentage and the dollar amount may both require exceeding for the future cost to require online acceptance or deletion, or when used together, the exceeding of one of the two parameters may be cause for online acceptance or deletion.

A National Drug Code (NDC) number can be created using PO536. When you create an item master record, if an NDC number is entered on the input file, you then use National Drug Code (IC11.6) to create the record.
