Kathy Barthelt 0 3 Article rating: 5.0

After selecting the Manufacturing check box and clicking Generate in the Generate Master Data (tccom0231m000) session, LN generates Manufacturing item data by site in the Items - Production by Site (tiipd0151m000) session.

The data is retrieved from:

  • The Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session
  • The Item - Production Defaults (tiipd0102m000) session, if default data have been specified.
  • The value in the Site field is retrieved from the warehouse or the work center listed in these sessions:

    • Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)
    • Generic Bill of Material (tipcf3110m000)
    • Production Orders (tisfc0501m000)
    • Production Schedules (tirpt4101m000)
    • Production Schedule Lines (tirpt4102m000)
    • Routing Operations (tirou1102m000). Sites are not retrieved from subcontracting work centers.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Multilogistic/Single FIinance

Kathy Barthelt 0 4 Article rating: 5.0

In a multilogistic/single-finance company structure, you can manage the manufacturing and distribution processes in a number of separate companies and perform the financial accounting in one company.

You must create one or more enterprise units in each logistic company and link all the enterprise units to the financial company.

For example, you can use a multilogistic/single-finance structure for an organization that consists of a number of separate production plants in one country that use their own BOM and production process but that form one legal entity. The reason for this is because BOMs, and the item cost prices based on them, are specific for each logistic company.

Infor LN & Baan Finance Tip: Unallocated Payment

How do I assign an unallocated payment to a purchase invoice when the document dates are not the same?

When trying to assign an unallocated payment, it is possible that the purchase invoice is not displayed in session Assign Unallocated / Advance Payments to Invoices (tfcmg2106s000), even though it is showing in the open entries. This can happen when the document date of the unallocated payment lies before the document date of the purchase invoice you want to assign it. There are 2 ways to handle this:

  1. Change the document date of the unallocated payment. This can be done by reversing the original document and creating a new one with a different document date.
  2. Create a new financial batch and use a transaction type of category Cashsubcategory Assign Advance/ Unallocated Payment. The date of the assignment will be the Transaction Entry Date of the batch. This way, the document dates can differ. Session Assign Advance/Unallocated Payments to invoices (tfcmg2131s000) will open. Chose the correct unallocated payment document and on top, click assign invoices to assign the correct invoice.
