Infor LX & BPCS Manufacturing Tip: Shop Calendar Maintenance – SFC140D1

Shop calendar maintenance, SFC140D1 This program features multiple-level shop calendar maintenance. You can maintain a shop calendar at the global, facility, or work center level. Global level entries override default values found in Work Center Maintenance, CAP100D1, for any program that uses the shop calendar.

Facility overrides affect all work centers in a Facility and are exceptions to the global level. Exceptions defined at the Facility level apply to all work centers for the facility. Work Center calendar entries are the most specific. These entries apply to a single work center and override any Global or Facility conditions.

If you have deleted a work center in Work Center Maintenance, CAP100D1, you cannot delete its shop calendar. The system treats the work center shop calendar like a global calendar for that year. If you try to delete it, you will delete the global shop calendar for that year.

Range processing provides daily or weekly maintenance of all overrides for a period of up to one year with a single command.

The following explains how Infor LX uses calendars for manufactured and purchased parts planning:

  • Infor LX treats purchased and manufactured parts in the same way.
  • Infor LX does not use the work center calendar.
  • In facility planning, Infor LX uses the facility calendar.
  • If the global calendar has additional days blocked out relative to the facility calendar, MRP/MPS plans consider both the facility and global days-off.


In all cases, the system uses the item master/CIC lead time parameter to determine the release date for the planned order regarding the due date from the forecast or parent demand. The system considers days blocked out in the facility and global calendars when it determines the planned order release date.

Example: Assume the entire system (Global) has a specific date set as a regular workday. If one particular Facility recognizes this day as a holiday, no hours are available on work centers within that facility. If conditions at one work center are an exception to this holiday, that work center can be maintained with its own set of conditions.

Simulation Mode

The Shop Calendar Selection/Maintenance Simulation program, MRP747B, uses the Shop Calendar Maintenance programs, SFC140D, in a simulation mode. The MRP program allows you to maintain shop calendar information to simulate capacity planning and to view the results before you use the data in live capacity planning.

When you run MPS by facility, you cannot maintain global calendars. This safeguard prevents a user from unintentionally overwriting the live global calendar if the user runs Copy to Live, MRP770D.

TECHNOLOGY: Facility Security Ranges

Previously, a user could complete the Cost Transfer (CST920) process for any range of facilities regardless of their security settings established in SYS600. This enhancement verifies the user security settings set up in SYS600 before processing cost transfers for a range of facilities in CST920. If the user has authority for a facility range, but there are facilities within that range that are not authorized, the program skips those facilities and completes the cost transfer process.

FINANCE: Expiration Date for Quotes and RMAs

A Cancel-by-Date has been added to the Quote Header and RMA Header panels. This optional field can limit how long a quote or authorization to return items for credit is valid.  

For quotes, this enhancement provides an optional end date for the quote. For RMAs, it provides an optional date by which the customer must return the items to receive the credit listed on the RMA.

The Cancel-By-Date prints on the Order Acknowledgement and RMA Acknowledgement to inform the customer of this important limitation to the quote or return authorization. 

An Order Entry user cannot copy the quote to create a new order if the Cancel By Date has caused the quote to expire.

OPERATIONS: Default Split Salesperson to Customer Orders

Sales commissions are based on combinations of the Primary, Split, and Line-Level salesperson and the commission codes defined for the customer and item. You can now define the Split Salesperson in the same master files as the Primary Salesperson. While the Primary Salesperson is mandatory, the Split Salesperson is optional. It defaults during Order Create using the identical hierarchy as Primary Salesperson. Using Split Salesperson provides more flexibility in the calculation of sales commissions. The ability to define a default Split Salesperson improves the accuracy of sales commission qualification and calculation and reduces maintenance and adjustments necessitated by corrections.

Tips: LN | Baan

Currency differences can make the financial analysis and reconciliation more complex. These types of currency differences can occur:

  • Currency differences
    Currency result caused by fluctuations in the exchange rate, for example, if the rate differs between the invoice date and the payment date.

  • Exchange gain and loss
    Currency result caused by the use of different exchange rate types, for example, the Sales rate type and the Internal rate type, or if using the rate determiner you have changed the exchange rate for a transaction during the order handling procedure.

  • Translation gain and loss
    Currency result caused by the use of different currencies during the order handling procedure, for example, if the order currency or the payment currency differs from the invoice currency.

  • Destination gain and loss
    Currency result caused by different results when the transaction currency is converted to the various home currencies. Destination gain and loss can only occur in an independent currency system.

To support good reconciliation possibilities, currency differences and exchange gain and loss are posted to these accounts:

When the originating order or order line of an outbound order line is canceled or changed, this affects the outbound order line and may affect the related outbound advice, shipments, or shipment lines.

For most order origins, warehousing order-type parameters determine whether these actions are allowed:

  • Update the outbound order line if the originating order is changed.
  • Cancel the originating order line and the outbound order line.
  • Delete the canceled outbound order line.

If updating is allowed...
