Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Setting Up New Employees in LN

Kathy Barthelt 0 34516 Article rating: No rating

In LN, the People package is used to register the employee’s hours and expenses. To support the People package, the Employees – General (tccom0101m000) session only contains the general employee data.

The title of the Employees – General (tccom0101m000) session was changed to Employees – General (tccom0101m000).

From the Employees – General (tccom0101m000) session, users can start the following sessions to define the more specific employee data:

  • Employees – People (bpmdm0101m000).
  • Employees – Project (tppdm8101m000).
  • Employees – Service (tsmdm1140m000).
  • Skills by Employee (tcppl0120m000).
  • Employees by Team (tcppl0150m000).
  • Roles by Employee (tcppl0170m000).

After users define the employees, users can also start the listed sessions from the Employees Dashboard (bpmdm0101m100) session in People.

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.

Infor LN & Baan Tip: All About Invoicing Methods

Invoicing Methods are a set of parameters that define the types of orders and order lines that can be collected on an invoice, the type of invoice to be generated and the costs to be aggregated on Project invoices and Service invoices.

If options to combine tax codes, departments, sales representatives' line of business area, etc... are checked, LN will combine all available transactions ready to be invoiced that have different tax codes departments, sales representatives, etc...into only one invoice.

If options to combine sales orders, sales order types, and shipments are checked then all sales orders that are created for the same business partner where the shipment and/or sales order type is different will be combined into one invoice.

For example:

  1. If sales order SLS001 is created for BP BP1000 with 2 lines where each line has a different shipment number, and the invoice method is combining shipments, both lines will be part of the same invoice. If the option to combine shipments is not checked then LN will create an invoice per shipment.
  2. If sales order SLS001 is created for BP BP1000 with 2 lines and 2 different shipment numbers and sales order SLS002 is created for the same BP with a cost item, LN will create one invoice for both orders if the option to combine sales orders and shipments is checked. If only the option to combine sales orders is checked then 3 different invoices will be created as all 3 lines will have different shipment numbers. If they have different sales order types and this option is not checked on the invoice method session then also 3 invoices will be created but if it is checked along with sales order and shipment number then only one invoice will be created.
  3. If we take scenario 1 again and both lines have different tax codes and the option to combine tax codes is not selected then LN will create a separate invoice for each line based on the tax code.
     

Note: In the case that the Business Partner Tax Country is different, even if we select combine tax codes, the system will create a separate invoice based on the Business Partner Country to full the statutory compliances for that BP country.
