I am not the programmer on that part of the project and I don't know
anything about Domino, so I am not certain on details. It is a web
application and I do know we are using Lawson's Domino toolkit (no longer
supported :-( ) for connecting to some CGI programs on our Lawson system. I
believe that the PO application is 100% stand alone until all the approvals
are in place then it get sent to Lawson at that point. I know we are
grabbing some data and stuff from the Lawson system, but I think that is the
only other interaction.

Mike,

thanks for replying.   Were the PO forms set up as domino forms?  Are they
connected to the Lawson database, or once approved, were they then loaded
into lawson?  if connected, what means did you use?

I've not seen a domino form that could handle the data the way we want it
handled.  it will be an indeterminate number of rows, with 20 or so columns,

The spreadsheet methods we use now work well for data entry, but they don't
do much for data ownership and integrity with all of the different versions
floating about.  And the convolutions we have to go through to get data out
of and back into the accounting software system are ridiculous.

Are there 'database aware' grid widgets of some sort that can be plugged
into a notes form?

Thanks again,

Rick

I would go with some sort of web application. We do a similar process for
POs. We did everything manually. Now we have the requestor who creates the
PO and sends it to their manager, the manager approves or disapproves.
Based
on that decision, it is either sent on to the next approver or get sent back
to the requestor. This is the 50,000 view of the system. We used (I think)
mostly domino for this app. The best part is, is that it totally integrates
with our Lawson system.
