Previously, Material Requirements Planning (MRP) preferred practices meant that the component's due date was the same as the parent's shop order release date. Because MRP trends have changed, the preference for this due date is the day before the release date of the parent. Although Infor LX already has this functionality in Shop Order Maintenance programs (SFC500), users could not change how due dates were determined for lower-level shop orders in Multi-Level Shop Order Release, SFC530D.

This enhancement provides an additional parameter for Multi-Level Shop Order Release. This parameter allows the user to change how the due date of the child components is determined. The Multi-Level Shop Order Release, SFC5302, has a new parameter for shop orders. The Due Date of Children = Release Date of Prent (Due Date of Children) field allows the user to set the due date determined for multi-level shop orders.

This feature uses different exchange rates in the user's inventory processes by using new macros in Post Inventory to G/L, INV920D. INV920 used macros limited by the Override Exchange Rate parameter set on the book in Book Definition, CEA105D3. If the Override Exchange rate parameter is set to No, the macro uses the Rate Type of the Book. If the Override Exchange parameter is set to Yes, the macro uses the Rate Type of the Order Company. This enhancement provides macros that use the Rate Type of the Order Company. This enhancement provides macros that use the Rate Type of the Warehouse Company, Order Company, or the Book regardless of the Override Exchange Rate parameter in the Book.

Did you know that you have several options for credit checks for your business partners?

Action-several options are available:

• Always Hold (Credit)—the order will always be held until released
• Never Hold (Credit)-the order will never be held
• Check Credit—a credit check is performed at time of sales order entry, release to invoicing or at confirm shipment.  When this status is used, the check can be performed at one or all three steps.  The steps are only visible with this status.
• Always Hold (Overdue Invoices)—the order will be held for overdue invoices until released.

Link the credit rating to the invoice to a business partner in the credit control session. You may also enter a credit limit. A credit limit of zero means unlimited credit.
