PO Receiving (PO30.1) modifications and optional custom code

Some organizations may prefer to not enter Tracking Number for every receipt. However, RAD interfacing depends upon the POTRACK file, which is generated only when a Tracking Number is entered. You can use a customized file called PO30 COBOL Customization to generate the POTRACK file by setting default tracking number, namely, "1" if a user does not enter it. The customized PO30PD file is in the MSCM build under the /config/cobol directory.

Note: 

Commands are case sensitive.

To deploy the customized PO file

  1. Copy or use FTP to move the PO30PD file from the /config/cobol directory to %LAWDIR%\ productline \poscr (Windows) or $LAWDIR/ productline /poscr.
  2. Connect to Lawson using the Lawson Interface Desktop (LID).
  3. Compile the source. At the command line, type

    qcompile productline PO PO30

    Note: 

    productline is the product line you copied the PD source to.

  4. Verify if the compile is complete. At the command line, type

    qstatus

    You should see the compile job running for PO30. If you do not, the compile is complete. If the job is still running, continue to type qstatus periodically until the job disappears. Compiling can take several minutes.

  5. Check for compile errors. At the command line, type

    cd %LAWDIR%\productline\poscr (for Windows)

    cd $LAWDIR/productline/poscr (for UNIX)

    Note: 

    productline is the product line you copied the PD source to.

  6. Check to see if there is an error file. At the command line, type

    ls –l PO30.err.

    If a PO30.err file exists, contact the GSC.
