LN Report Archive Solution Overview

The LN Report Archive solution allows you to archive printed reports for long-term access and reprinting, even years after their original print date.

This is especially valuable for external documents such as invoices, purchase orders, and other reports sent to customers or suppliers. In some countries, the ability to reprint these documents for up to 10 years is a legal requirement.

TECHNOLOGY: LN Report Archive

OPERATIONS: Revisions and approval

FINANCE: Moving calendar periods

FINANCE: Rebuild History for Account Matching (tfgld1218m000)

OPERATIONS: Copy Customized Product Structure to Standard Structure (tipcs2232m000)

TECHNOLOGY: Authorization and Security: LN REST APIs

In typical LN REST API integrations, permissions and authorizations are not implemented or rarely used. To ensure smooth data exchange and avoid errors, it is recommended to disable the authorization and security settings.

Recommendation:

• In the Authorization and Security Parameters session (tcsec0100m000):

  • Clear the Authorization and Security Enabled check box.

  • Clear all check boxes under Authorization Enable for on the Enabling tab.

Why This Matters:

• Enabling authorization and security without proper setup can lead to errors and blocked transactions during integration.

• For example, work center permissions may interfere with:

  • Creating new shifts

  • Booking machine hours

This functionality allows you to copy the product structure of a customized item to a standard item.

Note: When a customized structure is copied to a standard structure, the Customized check box in the Items session (tcibd0501m000) is cleared.

Item Types:

• Standard Items: Identified by a regular item code.

• Segmented Items: Consist of a project code segment and an item base segment (i.e., the customized item’s item code). Segments are defined in the Item Code Segmentation session (tcibd0500m000).

Only components valid for the specified Effectivity Unit will be copied.

Copy Options:

• Target Routing Code
  Enter the code of the standard routing to which the customized structure should be copied.

  • Copy the entire structure
