Baan / LN Tip: Pro Forma

Kathy Barthelt 0 37381 Article rating: 5.0
Pro Forma invoices can be issued based on order or delivery. If you choose delivery, the pro forma can be linked to the final sales invoice through the sub-session “Related Invoices.”  However, this requires the sales order step “Release to Sales Order/Schedules to Invoicing” to be a manual step. If it is automated, the order will be sent to Invoicing 360 directly and the link to the final invoice will not be made.

Baan/LN Tip: Saving Space in Your General Ledger

Kathy Barthelt 0 38947 Article rating: 5.0

Compressing Integration Transactions

One way to save space in your general ledger is to compress integration transactions. The transactions are combined into one ledger account number. However, the detail is still available in the integration transactions sessions.

The compression is seen after the transactions are finalized. 

Compression is established in the mapping scheme by checking the box under the columns “Compression of Debit/Credit Transactions". This can only be done in a mapping scheme that is not activated.

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.
