Disconnected data—information stored outside your core ERP system—creates inefficiencies and blind spots across every level of your organization. While spreadsheets, email orders, and external reporting tools may serve a purpose, the lack of integration between these systems leads to far-reaching consequences.

Operations Impact

• Inventory levels and supplier shipments are tracked in spreadsheets, disconnected from your ERP.
• Dealer portal email orders require manual entry into the system, slowing fulfillment.

Finance Impact

• Budgeting data lives in isolated spreadsheets, unlinked to ERP sales or quoting information.
• Open purchase orders and invoices must be manually matched and approved, consuming valuable time.

Technology Impact

• Countless reports are generated outside the ERP just to keep teams “up to date.”
• Significant time is wasted exporting ERP data into external data cubes for analysis.

Executive Impact

• Leaders struggle to compile an accurate view of inventory and financial health when data comes from multiple sources.
• A lack of real-time visibility into shortages causes lost sales and customer dissatisfaction.

Disconnected data isn’t just an inconvenience—it drains productivity and delays critical business outcomes.

The Business Costs of Disconnected Data...

LX has enhanced the SYS600 User Security Maintenance application by adding the ZXUP audit fields:

• Last Maintained Date

• Last Maintained Time

• Last Maintained User

These fields are updated whenever a user or role is revised, deleted, or reactivated.

This enhancement provides standard audit tracking to identify who modified a User Security record and when. The audit fields can be used for ad hoc tracking, reporting, and analysis.

The Inbound Delivery Line Detail panels have been enhanced to provide clearer item information and improved usability.

Key updates include:

• Item Description added to the Inbound Delivery Lines Selection screen.

• Increased number of lines displayed on the selection panel.

• Multi-language support:

  • Item Description is shown in the user’s language (if available).

  • Defaults to the base language if a translation is not available.

• On the PO Detail panel, the Item Description also supports multi-language display.

These enhancements give users more detailed item information on inbound deliveries, with Item Descriptions presented in their preferred language and more delivery lines visible at once.

​This enhancement introduces the IDF Ledger Book Journal Line Analysis business object, which displays reference information on summarized journal lines. To implement this enhancement, request and apply MR 81558.

Key features include:

• Ledger Book Journal Line Analysis

  • Provides analysis attribute details.

  • Has a 1-to-many relationship with Ledger Book Journal Line Source.

  • Default view: General.

• Ledger Book Journal Line Source

  • Has a many-to-1 relationship with Ledger Book Journal Line Analysis.

  • Displays the Ledger Book Journal Line Analysis detail card.

This enhancement enables users to access detailed reference information on summarized journal lines, improving analysis and reporting capabilities.
