BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Batch Allocation

Anthony Etzel 0 41536 Article rating: 5.0

Thinking of moving from your old BPCS Version to LX?

There are numerous reasons to consider moving to Infor LX. It is a proven migration and it is easy to get there.

An area of interest may be allocations. Allocations can be difficult to manage, but with Infor LX, there is a new selection of ranges for Batch Allocations:

    • Sold To Customer
    • Ship To Number
    • Order Class
    • Order Number
    • Item Number
    • Request Date
    • Schedule Date

Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Safety Time

Kathy Barthelt 0 55358 Article rating: No rating

You can add safety time in the item master for the item. This will add the number of days safety time to the order lead time thus bringing the order in x number of days early. (x is the safety time).

The safety time is on form 4 of the item master in Baan IV and in Item Ordering Data – Generation I tab in Baan V and LN.

Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Optionally Include Tax Amounts In Order Balance

Kathy Barthelt 0 52401 Article rating: No rating

In Baan IV, the order balance amount always includes the tax amount. Consequently, the tax amount must be recalculated every time an order line is modified in order to update the balance correctly. If the tax provider is activated, this requires an API call for every re-calculation of tax.

 

In Infor LN, users can select or clear the new Include Tax in Order Balance check box in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session to indicate whether users want to include tax amounts in the order balance amount. This parameter has an effect on various sessions in Order Management.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

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.

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.

Infor LN & Baan Tip: What Data Can Be Archived or Deleted?

From time to time, your employees need access to information related to logistical and financial transactions that have occurred in the past. Before you archive or delete this information, you must understand the need for this information. Baan and LN contain standard archiving sessions in the major modules that tend to have a high volume of historical transactions. These sessions are designed to copy historical data to the archive company, and then delete the data from the operational company.

You have three options in archiving sessions:

  1. Archiving and deleting: Data is transferred to the archive company and then deleted in the operational company.
  2. Deleting: Data is deleted in the operational company, but not archived.
  3. Archiving: Data is transferred to the archive company, but not deleted in the operational company.

Using option 1 or 2 makes archiving irreversible. If you archive only, option 3, because you want to preview the results, the archiving can be done a number of times. Usually, in archiving sessions, you can also specify:

  • The date up to which the data must be archived.
  • If texts must also be archived.
  • If texts that already exist in the archive company must be replaced.
