Here are some pros/cons to consider for a Multi Finance / Multi Logistic setup. Pros/Cons of Multi Finance / Multi Logistic Company Set-Up Pros Each legal entity can have its own general ledger and balance sheet. Income statements can be generated for the different logistics companies. Accounting user must go in and out of companies if there is a need to view or create transactions in more than one company. However, if all companies are tied to the same financial group company, centralized payments, cash receipt application, and display and printing of ledger transactions and trial balances are possible for both companies from within the financial group company. Cons A more complex structure to set up and maintain. Care must be taken in the set up of integration transactions, sales offices, purchase offices, etc. to insure that financial transactions are posted to the correct financial company. Decentralized operations – purchasing, sales, manufacturing, planning, warehousing, etc. Previous Article BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Understanding What Goes On Out On The Factory Floor – Part 4 Next Article BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Changing the Master Schedule Print 84242 Rate this article: No rating Kathy BartheltKathy Barthelt Other posts by Kathy Barthelt Contact author Facebook page Twitter Linked In YouTube Website
10Jun2025 Infor LX / BPCS Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Auto Calculate Vendor Delivery Date Tuesday, June 10, 2025 Read more 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. Read more
