Infor LX & BPCS Tip of the Week: Year-End for Finance

Year-End is always a busy time!

So busy that it's easy to forget things that must be done in your ERP system to close out the year properly and set you up for a good start to the following year. Here are some things to add to your to-do checklist.

The year-end close process provides an opportunity to:

  • Remove discontinued items.
  • Remove sold purchase receipts.
  • Remove lot attributes for sold lots.
  • Update standard cost based on current cost field. (for environments without Manufacturing only)
     

Prepare for Year-End Close

  • Conduct full physical inventory and update quantities before actual year-end or establish a strong cycle-counting program.
  • Make sure to close out all purchase contracts and PO’s before year-end. Make sure no receipts are allowed against any of the contract line items after year-end.
  • Prepare users for a year-end push to complete all year to date inventory adjustments, receipts, and invoicing.
  • Determine how to handle new year transactions without posting.
  • Determine what new standard costs should be entered for the upcoming year.
  • Discuss cutoff dates for removing Archived BOMS and Closed/Canceled Mfg Orders
  • Run PRF900 to update performance measurements and purge closed shop orders


Finance Specific Items:

  • Set up the financial periods for 2021.
  • Open period January in 2021.
  • Finalize any outstanding transactions from the current year (2020).
  • Remember to run ACP920 (1099 Report) before running ACP910 (Year End Close), as the Close Program clears the 1099 Payments History.
  • Issue any old sales invoices.
  • Fix any outstanding financial integration errors.
  • Set up new integration mapping for 2021 as needed.
  • Test the mapping in a test environment prior to the new year.
  • Review & update jobs as needed to ensure they will process in 2021.
  • Determine for cash-flow purposes, what purchase invoices won’t be paid until 2021.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

The LMP module (Lean Manufacturing Process) uses work centers but refers to them as production cells.

A cell is one or more work centers that produces an end item. So when a company decides to adopt the lean manufacturing philosophy, the concept of work centers takes on a new meaning.

In lean terms, the work center, or group of work centers, becomes a production cell. In other words, a mini-factory producing end items with similar characteristics.

Understanding:

The Machine Master File

Do your machines have a fixed asset tag? The machine master file has a field called Fixed Asset.

BPCS does not use this field, so you can use this field for anything. You can record your fixed asset tag in this field and use the effective date. You can create a custom fixed asset list by using a DFU or Query program.

Operations: To absorb the cost of cost items into specific projects, you'll need to handle them as customized items. However, cost items cannot directly be defined as customized items. Customized items must be physical, either manufactured or purchased.

That said, it's still possible to absorb cost items into a project, although indirectly. Here's how:

  1. Set Up Ledger Account: First, create a new ledger account in session tfgld0508m000 and set the type to "PCS" (project) in the operations management integrations. This account will be used for matching and approving purchase orders for cost items.
