Enhances purchase order efficiency by automatically calculating the Vendor Delivery Date based on user input.

• When a purchase order line is created, the user enters the item, order quantity, and Due Date.

• LX automatically calculates the Vendor Delivery Date, adding buffer time for quality control, testing, and inspection activities.

• If the Due Date is revised, an informational message prompts the user to review and potentially update the Vendor Delivery Date.

Enhancements:

• A new PUR820 system parameter enables automatic recalculation of the Vendor Delivery Date.

• Instead of a manual reminder, PUR500 now issues a message: “Vendor Delivery Date recalculated,” showing the updated date.

Benefits:

• Eliminates the need to manually review and update the Vendor Delivery Date.

• Removes the need to delete and recreate PO lines to trigger automatic date calculation.

Enables integration between LX and Infor OS Federation Services (IFS) to automate user provisioning.

• Bi-directional user synchronization between Infor OS and LX:

  • Infor OS user creation or changes automatically create or update users in LX.

  • IBM i user profiles can be created if needed.

  • Updates to SYS600 user data are reflected in Infor OS.

• Security Role Integration:

  • LX Security Roles and Units are published as IFS Security Roles via SyncSecurityRoleMaster BODs.

  • LX receives inbound SyncSecurityUserMaster BODs from IFS to create or update user records in SYS600.

  • SYS600 Exit Points trigger ProcessSecurityUserMaster BODs to request user creation or updates in IFS on behalf of LX.

Note that the Bill of Material and Routing are revision controlled. When a structure is generated for the first time, a first revision is made with status New.

If the Approve Structures Automatically check box is selected in the Job Shop Master Data Parameter (tirou0500m000) session, the revision is created with status Approved.

If the structure is regenerated, the current revision status determines the result:

• If the status is New, this revision is overwritten
• If the status is Approved, a new revision is created
