Infor LX & BPCS Tip: What is IDF and Why Do I Need It?

George Moroses 0 17182 Article rating: 5.0

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) re-architects the way a user interacts with the application by providing an efficient, task-oriented process to view the application information that is contained within Infor LX. IDF enables users to configure their view of the application data without modifying the core application and its supportability.

The examples below describe how users can configure their display of data and maximize overall productivity:

  • Arrange application information into multiple groupings and sequences that make sense for the job.
  • Hide information that does not apply to a particular job or task.
  • Filter records to show only the information that applies to the job or task that the user is performing.
  • Customize the information for an individual user, for a group of users, or for all users.

To get more details on how IDF can benefit your company, please contact Anthony Etzel today!

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: Outbound Order Lines

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

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

  1. Update the outbound order line if the originating order is changed.
  2. Cancel the originating order line and the outbound order line.
  3. Delete the canceled outbound order line.

Updating Outbound Order Lines

  • Allowed: Changes made to the originating order are updated to the outbound order line. Related outbound advice and picking lists, if present, are deleted.
  • Not Allowed: A message is displayed, and input is blocked when trying to change the originating order line.

Canceling Outbound Order Lines

  • Allowed: The outbound order line is deleted or set to Canceled when the originating order line is canceled.
    • When a canceled outbound order line is deleted, related outbound advice and picking lists are also deleted.
    • Outbound order lines originating from manual order origins cannot be deleted when canceled.
  • Not Allowed: You cannot cancel the originating order line or the outbound order line. A message is displayed when attempting to cancel the originating order line.

Processing Canceled Outbound Order Lines

  • To process an outbound order line set to Canceled, the outbound order line must be set to Shipped.
  • The status of the outbound order line determines whether all steps of the outbound and shipment procedures must be completed.
  • When a canceled outbound order line is set to Shipped, the shipped quantity is automatically set to 0.
  • A transfer order can be created to return the not-shipped goods to inventory.

Preventing Shipment When Canceling is Not Allowed

  • Complete the outbound and shipment procedures to prevent goods from being shipped.
  • When confirming the shipment line, set the shipped quantities to 0 and create a transfer order to return the not-shipped goods to inventory.
