Consulting: Methodology for Infor LX & BPCS Upgrades

Throughout the years, Crossroads RMC has participated in several 4.0.05CD upgrades to LX, from which we had the opportunity to refine our methodology for CEA (Configurable Enterprise Accounting) implementations/upgrades. As a result, we have fine tuned our overall upgrade approach and have been very successful in implementing this approach with our clients.

CEA replaces the green screen GLD module and allows for considerable flexibility in the design of the COA (Chart of Accounts).

Our approach incorporates any changes that are needed in the COA and facilitates the transfer or replacement of Profit Centers and Account Codes from BPCS to LX, building on the existing GL. Among the issues we manage is the conversion of historical GL balances.

We maximize the use of LX and CEA while minimizing the manual effort that gets you there.

Contact Frank Petrasio to discuss how we can help you:

  • Preserve what works in BPCS
  • Optimize what works in LX

with a maximum of respect for your time and budget. Learn more about Crossroads RMC Consulting>

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

This enhancement allows users to define a Default Billing Reason Code by User Order Class in addition to the Base Order Class. User Order Classes provide configurability for order processing events and the documents to be printed during those events. This enhancement allows users to configure different Billing Reason Codes for each User Order Class. If no specific code is defined, the system will default to the Billing Reason Code set up for the Base Order Class.

Enhancement: Order Hold Audit Functionality

This enhancement introduces an audit file to track all holds added or released for customer orders. The audit file includes details for various types of holds: credit hold, margin hold, customer hold, user hold, and credit card hold. All applications that add or release a hold now write an audit record, capturing the user, date, time, and program associated with each hold action.

A new IDF Order Hold Audit Inquiry application allows users to review holds based on various criteria:

  • Hold type
  • User
  • Specific order
  • Transactions for a customer within a date range
  • Other combinations

Additionally, the selected data can be printed if desired.

Table Timestamp Definitions (ttadv4136m000)

Use this session to define timestamps for Infor LN tables. A timestamp is an additional column that stores the date and time of the last change for each record.

Timestamps are utilized by features like the extraction logic of CPM Enterprise Analytics. They enable CPM to perform incremental data extractions. For example, CPM can use the timestamps to extract records that were changed during the last week in a weekly extraction process.

To Create Timestamps...

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.

  2. Create and Activate Projects: Ensure that the necessary projects are created and set to active status.

  3. Purchasing Cost Items...
