Infor LN & Baan Tip: What conditions must exist before changing an item's inventory unit?

Is there a procedure for changing an item’s inventory unit? What conditions must exist before it can be done?

Once inventory transactions (receipts or issues) have occurred for an item, the inventory unit cannot be changed. If only orders have been placed against the item (sales or purchase), the inventory unit can be changed if these orders are removed and the economic stock of the item is zero.

The reason that the inventory unit cannot be changed once transactions have been made is due to how transactions are recorded. The inventory transactions are recorded in units. These units are the inventory unit of the item. The inventory unit is not held in this table, however. The inventory unit is held on the item data. For example, if 5 pieces (pcs) of an item are issued and the inventory unit is later changed to pounds (lbs), there will be a mismatch in the inventory history of the item. In the past, the item was issued as pcs, and now the item master inventory unit is lbs. As the inventory unit is not date effective, the inventory has then been issued in two different units (pcs and lbs), but there is no method to recognize this difference.

Enterprise General Ledger (EGL) provides audit attributes to track journal entry changes and approvals.

To implement this enhancement, you can request and apply MR 81026.

This enhancement provides audit attributes for the last maintained user, date, time, and approval user, and date, and time on the Financial Journal Entry and Financial Journal Entry Lines. This audit function provides visibility to who and when the journal was last maintained and to who and when the journal was approved.

The programs or areas impacted include:

  • Financial Event
  • Financial Journal Entry
  • Financial Journal Entry Line
  • Financial Journal Entry Detail Line
  • Post Multiple Events

Did you know CLD provides you with the following benefits?

â–ª You can journalize and post-transaction data from any third-party application or Infor LX subsystem to the Configurable Ledger (CLD).

â–ª You can generate multiple journal entries across different charts of accounts, ledgers, and books within the CLD from one transaction line.

â–ª You can automatically post transaction amounts across different books using an appropriate exchange rate between the batch transaction currency and target book currency.

â–ª You can use validation reports to identify validation errors within the files that contain batch transaction data and then you can make any necessary corrections before resubmission.

â–ª You can use standard CEA grouping and summarization options for journals created during Batch Transaction Processing.

â–ª You can interface GLD journal entries into CEA for the BPCD version of Infor LX. This allows data to be interfaced into CEA without changing the way data is processed through Infor LX subsystems.
