Infor LX & BPCS Tip of the Week: Reports to Analyze Company Performance

You know what ERP data you need to analyze your company’s financial and production health, but sometimes it's a struggle to get that data in a format that is meaningful. Here are some reports in BPCS & Infor LX which you may find useful.

As is the case with most ERP reports, with each version progression from the earliest versions of BPCS to the latest version of Infor LX, there are improvements in selection criteria and report content. Some may require some setup and others may require some formatting if you would like to export them to Excel. Contact me if you have questions or need assistance.

BPCS & LX FINANCE REPORTS:

BPCS:

  • GLD240 - General Ledger - Trial Balance
    • This report allows you to produce a menu-driven Trial Balance that shows Opening and Closing balances, and Activity, for any range of Profit Centers and accounts in the GL Master. 
  • GLD250 - Journal Entry Audit Report
    • This report answers the Audit need. It provides Journal detail for selected Journal Sources and includes Reference fields that tie GL transactions to the Subsystem source. 

Infor LX

  • CLD220 - General Ledger - Trial Balance
    • This report allows you to produce a menu-driven Trial Balance that shows Opening and Closing balances, and Activity, for any account range from a customized Chart of Accounts. Year and Period selectivity, along with Journal Source choices, allow for as focused a view of an organization's GL activity as an accounting department needs. 
  • CLD285 - CEA Audit Report
    • This report answers the Audit need. It provides Journal detail for all Account Strings selected and includes Reference fields that tie GL transactions to the Subsystem source.


BPCS & LX MANUFACTURING REPORTS:

BPCS / Infor LX:

  • CST270 – Shop Order Cost Variance & WIP Report
    • This is by far the best total picture of what happened on any Shop Order from several perspectives (cost/efficiency/overall performance).
       
  • INV220 – Stock Status Summary & INV210 – Turnover Analysis
    • ​Both of these reports give you a view of how your inventory is moving to use as a measurement of the Planning Settings and which items need closer review.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Two big sources of inefficiencies in manufacturing are paper and spreadsheets. I know that you love ‘em, but they are the cause of more problems than you probably realize. Think of how long it takes you to get paper based data into the hands of those who can do something valuable with the data.

  • Is the information captured correctly?
  • Can everyone access the information?
  • Is this an accurate representation of what’s going on across all operations?

Make your shop floor paperless and put systems in place that talk to one another and automatically pull and push data to and from your ERP so that you can look in one place for all the information you need to run your business effectively.

If you’re not doing this today, you might as well be burning money.

In LX 8.3.5, a new report has been added that meets the regulatory reporting requirement for purchase and sales transactions (invoices, debit notes, credit notes) of a company. The report refers to transactions from the previous year (January – December). The report is available in an eFile layout.

The enhancement provides a new display and batch programs to extract the data and format the reports. New logs are provided in addition to the extraction report.

This enhancement will assist the user in meeting the regulatory requirement for reporting transactions.
