Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: WebTop Grid Support Enhancement for MRP320D

George Moroses 0 23 Article rating: 5.0

This enhancement modifies the subfile used in MRP320D Master Schedule Detail Inquiry (SCR001) to expand the subfile with data instead of clearing it as the user pages. This update enables full compatibility with the WebTop 4.8 Grid decorator.

To implement this enhancement, request and apply MR 81428.

Functionally, this change only affects how the subfile is populated to support a deployed WebTop Grid. There is no visible change or user impact in how the program operates.

In summary, the enhancement improves functionality and ensures full WebTop Grid support for the

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Pegging Material Supply Lines for Operation and Product Subcontracting

Kathy Barthelt 0 1059 Article rating: 5.0

For project pegged production orders, operations can be subcontracted. The material delivered to the subcontractor can be project pegged or anonymous. The subassemblies sent and retrieved are always project pegged. Costing breaks can be applied to direct the costs of the subcontracted operation to a specific project cost account. If (production material) costing breaks are used, a purchase order line's peg can differ from the peg on the material supply line.

For product subcontracting, the subcontracted purchase orders can include materials that inherit the project pegs or can include anonymous materials. The pegged materials are stored in inventory and are shipped to the subcontractor with project pegged orders.

In case of a project pegged order, a peg distribution is linked to the Purchase Order Material Supply Line in the...

Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES:

FINANCE: Default Billing Reason Code from User Order Class
This enhancement allows users to define a Default Billing Reason Code by User Order Class in addition to the Base Order Class. User Order Classes provide configurability for order processing events and the documents to be printed during those events. This enhancement allows users to configure different Billing Reason Codes for each User Order Class. If no specific code is defined, the system will default to the Billing Reason Code set up for the Base Order Class.

TECHNOLOGY:  Security Manager
New LX security type "M" for an LX Security Manager. Authority is similar to that of an LX Security Office (type "S"), but without the automatic authority to execute every LX program, and without the authority to change the authorizations of Security Officers and Security Managers. Users defined as LX security managers have authority to maintain security information for users other than themselves, but are only allowed to access regular LX programs if granted authority by an LX security officer.

OPERATIONS: Track All Order Holds Added & Released
Enhancement: Order Hold Audit Functionality
This enhancement introduces an audit file to track all holds added or released for customer orders. The audit file includes details for various types of holds: credit hold, margin hold, customer hold, user hold, and credit card hold. All applications that add or release a hold now write an audit record, capturing the user, date, time, and program associated with each hold action.

A new IDF Order Hold Audit Inquiry application allows users to review holds based on various criteria:

  • Hold type
  • User
  • Specific order
  • Transactions for a customer within a date range
  • Other combinations

Additionally, the selected data can be printed if desired.
