FINANCE: Override Warning in Invoice Entry PO Costing

OPERATIONS: Auto Calculate Vendor Delivery Date

TECHNOLOGY: User Provisioning

Improves control over PO costing changes during invoice entry by replacing passive warnings with an intentional override action.

• In ACP500D3 (Invoice Entry PO Costing), users previously could unintentionally accept changes by pressing ENTER, even when quantity to cost or amount to cost values had changed.

• A new “F14 to Override” warning message replaces the old message:
  “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”
  This ensures users acknowledge and confirm significant changes explicitly.

New System Parameter:

• “Apply GRN Costing Tolerance for PO Costing” (optional):

  • Within tolerance: Displays the original message —
    “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”

  • Outside tolerance: Triggers the new override requirement —
    “F14 to Override”

Benefits:

• Enhances oversight and reduces unintentional cost acceptance.

• Enables better control of PO costs when invoice details differ from expectations.

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.

Available Versions: 8.3.5, 8.4.1, 8.4.2

Item Facility Master has a new attribute to define the override inspection days lead time CICP.ICINSD.

• When an item facility has a defined override inspection days lead time, that value will be used instead of the system parameter inspection days lead time.

This enhancement improved the subfile utilized in MRP320D Master Schedule Detail Inquiry -SCR001 by expanding the subfile with data rather than clearing the subfile as user pages. This change provides full support for the WebTop 4.8 Grid decorator.

This enhancement updated the approach used to populate the subfile to allow a deployed Webtop Grid to function correctly. There is no visible or user-impacted change to the way the program functions.

This enhancement provides improved functionality and full support of a Webtop grid applied to the subfile.
