Infor LN / Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

Finance: Propagating Unused Sub-Accounts

You can use this procedure to find accounts that have a valid sub-accounts group but no corresponding general ledger chart account records. This action creates the general ledger chart account record for the account and sub-account combination. This action does not add the accounts to charts.

Select Financials > Global Ledger > Setup > Finance Enterprise Group > Maintenance.
Open the finance enterprise group and click the Sub Account tab.
Select Actions > Propagate Unused Sub Accounts.
Select the finance enterprise group and click OK.

Sub-accounts are added according to group if they have been defined on the accounts. The resulting account can be added to the charts.

Operations: Best Practices for Purchase Order Archiving / Deleting

Here are some best practices to follow if you are considering archiving or deleting purchase order data:

If Financials is implemented, we recommend that you do not delete order data in a fiscal year that has not yet been fully closed. This is because the GRINYA process uses information that would be deleted by this action. For best results, check whether the logistical balance for non-invoiced receipts matches the balance of the GRINYA accounts for the periods up to which you want to delete purchase order data.
When a purchase order is canceled, you can only delete the purchase order and the related tables. If only a purchase order line is canceled, the line can be deleted and archived.
Purchase contracts must be archived before purchase orders can be archived.

You cannot delete a purchase order (line) if:

The linked warehouse order is closed but cannot be removed.
The purchase order is linked to a PCS project that is not yet archived. When the PCS project is archived, the purchase data is also archived and you can delete the purchase order.
A consignment replenishment order is not yet consumed completely.
The invoice is yet to be completely matched and approved.
The invoice amount is not yet inserted as turnover history.
The sales order or service order that's linked to the purchase order line, and for which an internal invoice must be sent from the purchas office to the sales office or service office, is not yet invoiced. In this case, you cannot delete the purchase order line before the sales order or service order is invoiced.

Technology: Using Table Boosters to Speed Up Sessions & Processes

To increase the speed of sessions and processes slowed by large amounts of data, you can use table boosters. These speed up access to specific database tables by loading the table, or a specified part of it, into memory. Table boosters are defined in the Table Boosters (tcmcs0598m000) session.

Tables

Table boosters are implemented for tables. By default, table boosters are not active. When you access a table, LN builds a list of tables for which you can activate the boosters in the Table Boosters (tcmcs0598m000) session.

Note: You can only activate table boosters for tables that have been accessed at least once.

For more information, refer to the LN - Performance, Tracing, and Tuning Guide (U9357).

Conversion of SiM Tasks for WFi Workflows

Tuesday, March 19, 2019

This enhancement simplifies access to LX programs that are available through System i Manager (SiM), as well as Workflow for System I (WFi). This provides an easy way to promote common WFi business processes from one LX environment (for example, test or environment) to another LX environment (for example, production).

LX also provides a set of four-character task codes that can be used within SiM, System i Workspace (SiW), and WFi, for default programs in LX. These predefined LX task codes begin with 0,1,2,3, or 4. Users can specify task codes for their custom programs that are flagged as valid menu options in LX, but these task codes cannot begin with 0,1,2,3, or 4. Users can specify the task codes in Infor LX Object Master Maintenance, SYS625D. This enhancement provides simplified access to LX programs that are flagged as valid menu options in System i Manager and Workflow for System i environments. In SYS625D, The user can also specify task codes in SYS625D for customized programs that are flagged as valid menu options.

BPCS/LX Tip: Backup and Save options

Tuesday, March 5, 2019

Users are no longer limited to backing up or saving files to a tape or diskette.They can now use a Save File (SAVF) to save data and objects. LX programs that perform saves and/or backups were modernized to add a new SAVF option.

There were numerous places in LX where users are prompted to save a file or library. These screens have options for tape or diskette. Diskette refers to the old 8” diskettes used on System/38. These devices are outdated and virtually obsolete. The current means of saving objects on the IBM i, is through the use of a Save File (SAVF). This compresses the data into a single object that can be saved and is easily transferred between systems.

These objects were modified and/or created for this enhancement:

Backup Simulation (FOR630C, FOR630D, FOR630FM, FOR640HT, and FOR630HT)
Month End Close (INV903D, INV903FM, INV901C, and INV903HT)
Purge YTH/Restore Archived Lots (INV912C, INV912D, INV912DHT, and INV912FM)
Purge and Save ITH records (INV932C, INV932D, INV932FM, and INV932HT)
Labor Ticket Save (SFC905D, SFC905FM, SFC901C, and SFC905HT)
Backup Infor LX Files (SYS700C, SYS700D, SYS700FM, and SYS700HT)
Backup Infor LX Programs (SYS710C, SYS710D, SYS710FM, and SYS710HT)
Backup Infor LX Source (SYS740C, SYS740D, SYS740FM, and SYS740HT)
Save File Name Selection (SYS912D, SYS912FM, and SYS912HT)

Benefit

Use the Backup Simulation to copy a simulation file to a SAVF or tape. Users may want to do this to transfer simulation data from one system to another, from site to site, or to save the data before permanently deleting it from the system.
