Tips: LN | Baan

Sales Order Acknowledgements in Baan IV:
After a sales order is entered in Baan IV, users can print an order acknowledgement in Print Sales Order Acknowledgements/RMAs (tdsls4401m000), after which it can be sent to the customer.

Sales order acknowledgements in ERP LN:
In Infor LN, users can still use the Print Sales Order Acknowledgements/RMAs (tdsls4401m000) session to print order acknowledgements, however, the following functionality is added to this session:

  • In the Documents to Print field users can select whether to print order acknowledgments and/or return material authorizations.
  • With the Promotions check box users can indicate whether to print promotions on the order acknowledgement, if promotions apply to the order.
  • Users can control the printing of order acknowledgements based on the order amount and/or the delivery date.

These conditions only apply for order types that do not have the Print Sales Order Acknowledgements/RMAs (tdsls4401m000) linked as a mandatory activity to the order type in the Sales Order Type - Activities (tdsls0560m000) session.

There can only be one correction period, and it must be the last period in the period table.

There can only be a correction period for Fiscal periods and not for Reporting or Tax. This period is used for the posting of the Automatic Balancing of Profit and Loss entries as well as any auditor adjusting entries that may be made outside the normal year. This allows you to print a trial balance and financial statements of period 1-12, for example, eliminating any of those adjusting entries.

If you have the Company Parameter (Balancing of Profit & Loss) set to Individual Accounts, then it is critical to have a 13th period to post those entries to. With this setting, the Automatic Balancing will zero out each individual P&L account in the last period. You want this to be period 13 and not period 12.
