IDF News: default order class for the warehouse customer

George Moroses 0 21698 Article rating: 5.0

In IDF Customers, the default order class for the warehouse customer should be a user-defined order class (base order class = 004). Do not use base order class 002 or 005, to allow for automatic invoicing of warehouse orders (if a separate manual Ship Confirm event is required per the order class, auto invoicing cannot occur from Pick Confirm).

Anthony Etzel 0 28767 Article rating: 5.0

The user has the choice of using the parent lot ID, the next sequential generated lot ID, or not pre-assigning lot IDs. Multiple items per lot must be installed to use the parent lot number option.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Role-Based Security introduces Role type profiles and allows combining the use of Role profiles with the traditional LX User type security profile functionality. The new Role type profile can be defined to allow or deny access to All Products, Attention Key, Products, Programs, and Transaction Effects. Facility, Warehouse, and Company securities are still defined solely by the User profile settings and are not affected by the assignment of a Role. Where applicable, the Role authority is displayed alongside the User authority on the security profile maintenance screens making it easy to see where there are differences in authority between the User and the assigned Roles. 

When Users are assigned to Roles, security access in LX becomes a combination of authorities granted or denied by the Role, plus any User Exceptions. User Exceptions override authorities set by the Roles. A User can also be assigned to more than one Role.

​Infor LN & Baan Tip: Determining What Data to Archive or Delete

Ensuring access to historical logistical and financial transaction information for your employees is crucial. However, before proceeding with archiving or deletion, it's essential to evaluate the necessity of retaining this data. Baan and Infor LN (ERP LN) offer standard archiving sessions within major modules that typically handle a significant volume of historical transactions. These sessions are designed to transfer historical data to an archive company before deleting it from the operational company.

When it comes to archiving sessions, you have three primary options:

  1. Archiving and Deleting: Data is transferred to the archive company and then deleted from the operational company.
  2. Deleting: Data is directly removed from the operational company without archiving.
  3. Archiving Only: Data is moved to the archive company without deletion from the operational company.

It's important to note that options 1 and 2 result in irreversible actions. However, with option 3, where Archiving Only is selected, multiple archiving processes can be executed for previewing results.

Additionally, during archiving sessions, you can typically specify:

  • The cutoff date for the data to be archived.
  • Whether accompanying texts should also be archived.
  • Whether existing texts in the archive company should be replaced.

For more detailed information on archiving procedures, you can refer to the Baan IV and Infor LN documents provided.
