Infor LX & BPCS Period End & Fiscal Year End Processing Checklist

Infor LX & BPCS Year-End Close Checklist

Year-end is always a busy time and it is easy to forget all the things that must be done in your Infor ERP system to close out the year properly and set you up for success the following year. Here are some things you should have on your 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 (only for environments without Manufacturing).


Preparing 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. Make sure no receipts are allowed against any of the contract line items.

_____ 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. (Manufacturing)

_____ Discuss cutoff dates for removing Archived BOMS and Closed/Canceled Mfg Orders. (Manufacturing)

_____ Run PRF900 to update performance measurements and purge closed shop orders.

Finance Specific Items:

_____ Set up the financial periods for 2022. Do this before the new year begins.

_____ Open period January in 2022. 

_____ Finalize any outstanding transactions from the current year - 2021.

_____ COPY the CEA Book for the new year. Creating the Book requires the user to set up all the Journal Sources, while Copying ensures that every needed record is in place.

General LX & BPCS Items:

_____ 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 2022 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 2022.

_____ Determine for cash-flow purposes, what purchase invoices won’t be paid until 2022.

OPERATIONS:
Shelf Life Days and Retest Days
This feature provides the ability to enter information in the shelf life days and retest days fields for non-QMS lot controlled items, even when the QMS product is installed. The purpose of this enhancement is to allow the user to enter information for non-QMS lot controlled items even when QMS is activated in Parameters Generation, SYS800D.

In previous versions, when QMS was activated, the Shelf Life Days and Retest Days fields in Facility Planning Maintenance (MRP140) and Item Master Maintenance (INV100) were not maintainable for non-QMS lot controlled items.

FINANCE
Inventory Transaction Post to G/L by Cost Type
This enhancement provides a method to post material, labor, and overhead values on inventory postings to the general ledger to meet financial reporting requirements. The solution provides an optional further breakdown of cost by cost bucket using the new G/L Cost Type.

TECHNOLOGY:
Role-Based Security
Role-Based Security introduces Role type profiles and allows combining the use of Role profiles with the traditional LX User type security profile functionality. The new Role type profile can be defined to allow or deny access to All Products, Attention Key, Products, Programs, and Transaction Effects. Facility, Warehouse, and Company securities are still defined solely by the User profile settings and are not affected by the assignment of a Role. Where applicable, the Role authority is displayed alongside the User authority on the security profile maintenance screens making it easy to see where there are differences in authority between the User and the assigned Roles. 

When Users are assigned to Roles, security access in LX becomes a combination of authorities granted or denied by the Role, plus any User Exceptions. User Exceptions override authorities set by the Roles. A User can also be assigned to more than one Role.

This feature provides the ability to enter information in the shelf life days and retest days fields for non-QMS lot controlled items, even when the QMS product is installed. The purpose of this enhancement is to allow the user to enter information for non-QMS lot controlled items even when QMS is activated in Parameters Generation, SYS800D.

In previous versions, when QMS was activated, the Shelf Life Days and Retest Days fields in Facility Planning Maintenance (MRP140) and Item Master Maintenance (INV100) were not maintainable for non-QMS lot controlled items.
