The Lawson Procurement application supports all aspects of procurement including both direct and indirect purchasing, management of supplier agreements, quality control, and claim handling.

Sophisticated tools such as purchase delivery schedules and automated electronic message tool (EDI and XML) work alongside simple requisition and order management functions.
