Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

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.

Enables integration between LX and Infor OS Federation Services (IFS) to automate user provisioning.

  • Bi-directional user synchronization between Infor OS and LX:

    • Infor OS user creation or changes automatically create or update users in LX.

    • IBM i user profiles can be created if needed.

    • Updates to SYS600 user data are reflected in Infor OS.

  • Security Role Integration:

    • LX Security Roles and Units are published as IFS Security Roles via SyncSecurityRoleMaster BODs.

    • LX receives inbound SyncSecurityUserMaster BODs from IFS to create or update user records in SYS600.

    • SYS600 Exit Points trigger ProcessSecurityUserMaster BODs to request user creation or updates in IFS on behalf of LX.

Available Versions: 8.3.5, 8.4.1, 8.4.2
