Disconnected data – What is it?

no​ The spreadsheet that your warehouse manager has off to the side to track his inventory levels and expected shipments from your key suppliers.

no The email orders from your dealer portal waiting to be manually keyed into your ERP.

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 Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Integration Transactions - Compression

Compression

Integration transactions can be compressed before they are posted. For each integration document type, you can indicate whether the debit transactions and/or the credit transactions must be compressed.

Transactions can be compressed if the following transaction details have the same value:

  • The source financial company.
  • The destination financial company.
  • The transaction type and series.
  • The ledger account and dimensions.
  • The transaction currency.
  • The fiscal year and the financial period, the tax period, and the reporting period.
  • The integration document type and the Debit/Credit indicator.
  • If related gain and loss transactions are generated, the same compression criteria are used to compress these.

Note: Intergroup transactions are not compressed.
