Infor LX & BPCS Finance Tip: AR Aging

An ACR system parameter allows you to specify whether to measure invoice age from the date on which you create the invoice, invoice date, or the date on which the invoice is due. You can set up a separate terms code for each customer on the system to set the basic terms of payment for that customer. For example, this term could specify the number of days an invoice can be due before it is considered past due and the number of days that a discount is available. The system uses the terms code data to calculate invoice due dates and uses system parameter information to age invoices. Whichever date you specify Accounts Receivable | Run Instructions | 27 ACR Overview to measure invoice age from, the age of an invoice is defined as the number of days between that date and the current processing date.

You also use the Accounts Receivable System Parameters program, ACR820D, to establish five generic aging buckets for your receivables. To determine the time length for each of these buckets, specify the number of aging days for each bucket. The number of aging days aging is the difference between the invoice aging date and the current processing date. You can set the time periods and assign names to each bucket according to your needs.

Each time you generate any of the receivable Trial Balance reports, the system recalculates the age of every invoice. If you use calendar months as financial periods, change the bucket definitions each month to reflect the appropriate 1-month bucket, 2-month bucket, and so on. If you use an aging system based on days, like the one described in the preceding paragraph, you do not need to change the bucket definitions.

Note that you can process future dated invoices if you use a negative age bucket and specify negative aging days.

The Enterprise Item application in the Infor Development Framework for Infor LX supports display of all information relevant to an item. This includes numerous aspects of Inventory, including facility, warehouse, location, lot, and container data.

With the Enterprise Items application, you can customize the data displayed to include more or less data than is currently displayed using the standard Infor LX programs. You can access this information through a single point of entry, so there is no need to switch from one program to another to see all the data you require. This ability to customize will help streamline your decisions by allowing you to display information that is specific to your needs.

The various Enterprise Item application cards provide listings, maintenance type information, and current information that you could previously only access by running multiple standard Infor LX programs, such as Material Status Inquiry (INV300), Bill of Material Inquiry (BOM300), and Routing Inquiry (SFC100).

This enhancement to the Purchase Receipts screens; optionally shown with the quantity and weight fields populated with the open value on the purchase order.

Now the screens are populated with the open value and if the open value is the same as the value received, the user can simply accept the line.

The Receive All field on the PUR550D1-01 screen determines whether the receipt lines are populated with the open value. A system parameter controls the Receive All default value but the default value can be overridden. If the user specifies 1=Yes in the Receive All field then the PUR550D2-02 screen displays the open quantity or weight for each line. The user can accept the open value for each line.
