How to Perform Searches in Infor Lawson (Patch 10.1.1.30 and Later)

This guide will assist with the Lawson search within power user screens such as HR11, PA52, PR12 or PO10

After the recent update to Infor Lawson Patch 10.1.1.30, there are important changes to how searches work within the system. Please follow these guidelines to ensure accurate results:

1. Use UPPERCASE for All Searches

Searches will only return results when entered in UPPERCASE.
Example:
- ✅ CORRECT: SMITH
- ❌ INCORRECT: smith

2. Wildcard Search Replaces "LIKE" Search

The previous "LIKE" search feature has been deprecated.
It is now replaced by a wildcard search using an asterisk *

3. How to Use Wildcards

If you are unsure of the full spelling of an item or employee name:
- Enter *WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR* and press Enter.
Examples:
- Searching for an employee with a last name that start with John but unsure of the first name:
  - Enter: *JOHN*
- Searching for an item or vendor containing Cable:
  - Enter: *CABLE*

Summary

Always type search terms in UPPERCASE.
Use * before and after your search term for partial matches.
Press Enter to execute the search.
