Drill around

A drill around is a multi-dimensional tool that you can use to access information in a Lawson application. Drill arounds provide real-time information in an online format, so you don't have to wait for a report to access and analyze data. Use a drill around on any field in the application where the drill around icon is available to access information about your setup, invoices, vendors, and more.

Example

The supervisor of the Accounts Payable department has a question about a currently unreleased invoice. He first wants to determine who specified the invoice, or whether it was interfaced. He drills around on a field on Basic Invoice (AP20.1) and selects Invoice Origin from the Drill Around menu. From this drill around, he can see the invoice was manually specified and which operator specified it. The date, time, batch, and voucher are also available.
