We are thinking of 'what' it would take to implement our Lawson AR piece.

Currently we use Excel with built in macros and formulae. I am just wondering if anyone has done this before, and any tips/suggestions are available?

Non Patient billing...

We implemented Lawson's Order Entry, AR and Billing modules recently for our non-patient billing. We've had pretty good success with it and find it meeting our needs. What kind of questions do you have?

We want to use AR to create Invoices for Leases on Condos, Office Leases, Test Charges for Employee screening, etc..

We are using BL20 to enter invoices for leasing or other various non-patient charges. We don't have items set up in our Inventory for this. We just enter in our items free-form on the BL20. We also have some recurring invoices set up for standard month-to-month invoices such as rent. Does this help?

Yeah sort of -

So if the items were built in the Item Master - then we could populate based off this? Instead of free-forming everything?

You need Order Entry to create bills from an Item Master. We also own OE and use that for different non-patient billing that we do (it's a dept that creates it's own literature, items, etc that they sell).

Dumb question. For AR we have a bunch of sites represented by an account. Do I set up just ONE Customer Group, and the same Comanies that are in GL? For example: We currently have 2 Companies - 1=Main Hospital, 2= Smaller Hospital

Would I use the Main Hospital chart of accounts, and just set up each acct for the AR Customer Group (only 1 I hope) ?

Sorry - new to this set up... :afro: :werd:

That is - Many Sites and Many Accts.

Did you use a Vendor to create your invoices from Lawson?
