Anthony Etzel / Wednesday, December 16, 2015 / Categories: Infor LX & BPCS Tips BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Financial Year End – Have you done all you need to do? Came across an article online from Lauber CFO’s, and thought I would share. Here is a checklist for things to consider in order to finish out the year and help you plan for 2016: Are your accounting records up to date so that you can make a projection of how the current year will turn out? Are all account reconciliations currently up to date to facilitate the closing of the books after year end? Are there accounts receivable that should be reserved for or written off prior to the end of the year? If your business carries inventory, do you need to plan a physical count as of the end of the year? Has depreciation on your fixed assets been recorded during the year? Have you considered depreciation on current year additions? Have all new asset purchases and bank loans been recorded on your books? Are there any liabilities, for example, pending legal actions or warranty issues, which will need to be recorded prior to year end? Do you have a plan in place to properly “cut-off” revenue at year end to properly match revenue and expense? Will there be bonuses, profit sharing contributions or discretionary retirement plan contributions paid prior to the end of the year? How will these payments affect cash flow? Will you be in compliance with your bank covenants at year end? Do you need to make arrangements to receive statements as of the end of the year for cash value of life insurance, loan balances, etc.?

The personalizations and formatting settings that are specified by the users are stored on the LN server. Administrators can maintain these settings. Session personalizations Users can personalize sessions in various ways. users can, for example, hide fields, change labels, customize the toolbar, and move fields to another tab. Administrators can maintain the personalizations defined by the users. For example, an administrator can export personalizations to an XML file, import personalizations from an XML file, and copy personalizations to another user, to a DEM role, or to a company number. Report personalizations You can use the Report Designer (ttstppersrep) to personalize the layouts and style of reports, without modifying the standard reports or using an external reporting solution. The changes are stored as personalizations. You can also generate new reports that are based on a selection of fields from the application data model. These reports are generated in the extensibility package. You can personalize these reports in the Report Designer (ttstppersrep), or modify them in Infor LN Studio. For details, see the Infor LN Report Designer Development Guide Conditional formatting users can define conditions to apply special formatting to the data displayed in LN sessions. The users can define multiple conditions per session and different types of formatting, such as a specific color for particular fields or rows, and a warning symbol for particular rows. Administrators can maintain the formatting settings specified by the users and can define system-wide formatting settings. Read more
7May2025 Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Deleting Purchase Orders Wednesday, May 7, 2025 Read more If Finances is implemented, we recommend that you do not delete order data in a fiscal year that has not yet been fully closed. This is because the GRINYA process uses information that would be deleted by this action. For best results, check whether the logistical balance for non-invoiced receipts matches the balance of the GRINYA accounts for the periods up to which you want to delete purchase order data. When a purchase order is canceled, you can only delete the purchase order and the related tables. If only a purchase order line is canceled, the line can be deleted and archived. You cannot delete a purchase order (line) if: The linked warehouse order is closed but cannot be removed. The purchase order is linked to a PCS project that is not yet archived. When the PCS project is archived, the purchase data is also archived and you can delete the purchase order. A consignment replenishment order is not yet consumed completely. The invoice is yet to be completely matched and approved. The invoice amount is not yet inserted as turnover history. The sales order or service order that is linked to the purchase order line, and for which an internal invoice must be sent from the purchase office to the sales office or service office, is not yet invoiced. In this case, you cannot delete the purchase order line before the sales order or service order is invoiced. Read more
