Infor LN & Baan Tip: All About Invoicing Methods

Invoicing Methods are a set of parameters that define the types of orders and order lines that can be collected on an invoice, the type of invoice to be generated and the costs to be aggregated on Project invoices and Service invoices.

If options to combine tax codes, departments, sales representatives' line of business area, etc... are checked, LN will combine all available transactions ready to be invoiced that have different tax codes departments, sales representatives, etc...into only one invoice.

If options to combine sales orders, sales order types, and shipments are checked then all sales orders that are created for the same business partner where the shipment and/or sales order type is different will be combined into one invoice.

For example:

  1. If sales order SLS001 is created for BP BP1000 with 2 lines where each line has a different shipment number, and the invoice method is combining shipments, both lines will be part of the same invoice. If the option to combine shipments is not checked then LN will create an invoice per shipment.
  2. If sales order SLS001 is created for BP BP1000 with 2 lines and 2 different shipment numbers and sales order SLS002 is created for the same BP with a cost item, LN will create one invoice for both orders if the option to combine sales orders and shipments is checked. If only the option to combine sales orders is checked then 3 different invoices will be created as all 3 lines will have different shipment numbers. If they have different sales order types and this option is not checked on the invoice method session then also 3 invoices will be created but if it is checked along with sales order and shipment number then only one invoice will be created.
  3. If we take scenario 1 again and both lines have different tax codes and the option to combine tax codes is not selected then LN will create a separate invoice for each line based on the tax code.
     

Note: In the case that the Business Partner Tax Country is different, even if we select combine tax codes, the system will create a separate invoice based on the Business Partner Country to full the statutory compliances for that BP country.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

FINANCE: Default Billing Reason Code from User Order Class
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.

TECHNOLOGY:  Security Manager
New LX security type "M" for an LX Security Manager. Authority is similar to that of an LX Security Office (type "S"), but without the automatic authority to execute every LX program, and without the authority to change the authorizations of Security Officers and Security Managers. Users defined as LX security managers have authority to maintain security information for users other than themselves, but are only allowed to access regular LX programs if granted authority by an LX security officer.

OPERATIONS: Track all order holds added & released
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.
