Infor LX & BPCS Tip: The Top 6 Benefits of CLD

The Configurable Ledger (CLD) is the central repository for a client’s financial accounting data.

Did you know it can do all of the following?

  • Journalize and post transaction data from any third-party application or Infor LX subsystem to the Configurable Ledger (CLD).
  • Generate multiple journal entries across different charts of accounts, ledgers, and books within the CLD from one transaction line.
  • Automatically post transaction amounts across different books using an appropriate exchange rate between the batch transaction currency and target book currency.
  • Use validation reports to identify validation errors within the files that contain batch transaction data and then you can make any necessary corrections before resubmission.
  • Use standard CEA grouping and summarization options for journals created during Batch Transaction Processing.
  • Interface GLD journal entries into CEA for the desired version of Infor LX. This allows data to be interfaced into CEA without changing the way data is processed through Infor LX subsystems.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

In Infor LX, based on how your items are set up and on how you structure the Bill of Material, the following are some usages of a bill of material by functioning area:

  • Engineering & QA – change control, product design and specifications
  • Manufacturing – build instructions , material pick lists
  • Accounting – product costing
  • Materials Inventory – material and inventory planning
  • Sales – customer order processing
  • Production Scheduling – item scheduling (also a component of an MES solution)
In the Shop Floor Control Module, you have the ability to key in both direct labor and indirect labor. However you want to establish specific types (reasons) for the indirect labor. The SFC600 labor entry program shows a reason code field, but it is designed for reject quantity and machine downtime reasons, not indirect labor reasons.

There is a way around this. With an MES solution you have the ability to setup and report indirect time against a specific reason code.
