LMP Progress Updates

To keep our stakeholders updated on the progress being made, we'd like to share a couple of recent milestones for the project:

  • Our second cycle of End-to-End testing of the new system is underway, and we’ve successfully processed transactions from one of our new warehouse locations. We’re validating that the system and the processes will work across the Liquor Enterprise.

Please watch your emails for future LMP progress reports.
New System Training
To help you succeed when Phase 2 of the Liquor Modernization Project (LMP) rolls out, the Liquor Enterprise will offer instructor-led training on the Microsoft Dynamics Enterprise Portal (think of it as an improved portal), the new wholesale terminal, and handheld scanners, beginning in April. This training will be crucial to your understanding of the system, and will cover the tasks and processes you do on a daily basis.

The training sessions will be held in several locations across the state and will require a full day, starting promptly at 8 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m.  At least one representative from each Agency is required to attend – and we recommend that a second representative from your Agency attend another session on a different date. The representative(s) will receive information and materials to train the rest of your Agency staff. 

Watch your email in the coming weeks for specific dates, times, and locations of the training sessions. Your Agency will be assigned a specific date for training targeted to occur closely prior to the day you transfer over to the new system. If there are seats available, you can register for an earlier session.  

Given all of the steps that are required for this transition, it’s important that we maintain this schedule. We appreciate your flexibility, and commitment to making this training a priority.   

Thank you for helping make this launch successful.
Wireless Upgrades Near Completion
The wireless upgrade for all Agencies that began in early February has made great progress over the past month. The RF-Works team has successfully completed installations in 314 Agencies. RF-Works continues to make calls and schedule appointments with Agencies. They are on track for completion of all wireless installations by the end of March.

Thank you for your continuing cooperation with scheduling and access to your stores for this upgrade. Once complete, all Agencies will have the secure, high-speed wireless coverage and speed needed to support LMP’s enhanced scan guns and wholesale terminals. Scan guns will be re-deployed beginning the third week of April.  Wholesale Agencies should watch their emails for information on when wholesale terminals and equipment will be shipped.

If you have any questions about the wireless upgrades, please contact the Help Desk – 24 hours a day, seven days a week – at 877-812-0013 or liquoragencyhelp@com.state.oh.us.
February Sales Reporting Closed

The sales for February have been verified by DOLC Agency Operations and are now closed. Please note that no February sales can be posted as of March 8.

If there are sales corrections that need to be made for February (or prior), they must be made using a current date as the date of sales.

Thank you.
