Infor LX & BPCS Year-End Close Checklist

As the year draws to a close, the hustle and bustle of year-end activities can sometimes lead to overlooking critical tasks within your Infor ERP system. Ensuring a proper year-end close is essential for setting the stage for success in the coming year. Here is a comprehensive checklist to guide you through the process:

Year-End Close Process Objectives:

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

Preparing for Year-End Close:

  • Conduct a full physical inventory and update quantities before the actual year-end or establish a robust cycle-counting program.
  • Close out all purchase contracts and PO’s, ensuring no receipts are allowed against any 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.
  • Decide on new standard costs 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 financial periods for 2024 before the new year begins.
  • Open the January period in 2024.
  • Finalize any outstanding transactions from the current year (2023).
  • Copy the CEA Book for the new year, ensuring all Journal Sources are set up. Copying ensures that every needed record is in place.

General LX & BPCS Items:

  • Run ACP920 (1099 Report) before ACP910 (Year End Close), as the Close Program clears the 1099 Payments History.
  • Address any old sales invoices.
  • Rectify outstanding financial integration errors.
  • Set up new integration mapping for 2024 as needed.
  • Test the mapping in a test environment before the new year.
  • Review and update jobs as needed to ensure they will process in 2024.
  • Determine, for cash-flow purposes, which purchase invoices won't be paid until 2024.

For additional insights and details about each program's functionalities and the files they update during the LX and BPCS Period End and Fiscal Year-End Processing, please refer to the attached document: LX & BPCS Period End & Fiscal Year End Processing Document

Previously, if a user performed a partial search for an item by using a double byte language, no matches were found. Regardless of whether the MLS module is used, this enhancement allows a user to use a double byte language to perform partial or full item description searches. This enhancement resolves an issue with partial searches on screens where the Item Master Lookup (WINIIM) screen is used, such as Material Status Inquiry, INV300D-01, Item Master Selection INV100D1-01, Facility Planning Selection, MRP140D1-01, and Purchasing Inquiry, PUR300D1).

The user selects the F4 prompt from these screens to open the Item Description List. In the prompt window, the user specifies option 10 to perform a partial or full search on an item description.

This enhancement allows users who currently perform outside operation processing in shop floor programs to manage the transfer of components used in the outside operations to the vendor’s designated warehouse.

This enhancement provides modified and new INV511D screens and adds new logic to allow the user to identify all shop orders that have components linked to outside operations or to identify all the components linked to an outside operation on a shop order. The shop orders can be filtered by either a date range or by a specific vendor.

Inventory Transfers for Outside Operations enhances the management of external operations by providing screens that simplify the selection of the shop orders or items to transfer to a vendor.

Transfers to the vendor warehouse are performed in the Inventory Transfers, INV511D, screens.
