What is the Setup Hierarchy in Lawson?

You must complete required setup within Lawson prerequisite applications before you set up Invoice Matching. You must begin prerequisite setup by setting up the Currency, General Ledger, Cash Management, Terms (if you will be using it), Tax, and Accounts Payable applications in the order listed. Then the Invoice Matching application can be set up.

After you set up Invoice Matching, further setup depends on what Lawson applications your company has purchased. Inventory Control and Purchase Order must be set up next if your company is using all the Lawson Procurement applications. See the Inventory Control User Guide and the Purchase Order User Guide if you are using these applications. You can set up the following optional applications after you complete Inventory Control and Purchase order setup: Project Accounting, Asset Management, and Strategic Ledger. The following diagram shows the order in which these applications are set up, if applicable.
