BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Indirect Time Reporting

In Infor LX, there are two ways to enter indirect labor. You can use either SFC600 or SFC650.

  • If you use SFC600 and enter a reason code for the indirect labor, the reason you entered is written to the Labor Ticket file.
  • If you use SFC650 and enter a reason code for the indirect, the reason code is not written to the labor Ticket file.

In either case, the reason code is not validated from the transaction file because there is no indirect transaction code. The indirect code that can be setup is machine downtime. If you need to validate and track indirect by reason and validate the reason code, then you may want to explore an MES solution that works with Infor LX.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Improves control over PO costing changes during invoice entry by replacing passive warnings with an intentional override action.

  • In ACP500D3 (Invoice Entry PO Costing), users previously could unintentionally accept changes by pressing ENTER, even when quantity to cost or amount to cost values had changed.

  • A new “F14 to Override” warning message replaces the old message:
    “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”
    This ensures users acknowledge and confirm significant changes explicitly.

New System Parameter:

  • “Apply GRN Costing Tolerance for PO Costing” (optional):

    • Within tolerance: Displays the original message —
      “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”

    • Outside tolerance: Triggers the new override requirement —
      “F14 to Override”

Benefits:

  • Enhances oversight and reduces unintentional cost acceptance.

  • Enables better control of PO costs when invoice details differ from expectations.

Tips: LN | Baan

Use this session to rebuild the ledger account history for account matching. This is particularly useful if you’ve recently defined a ledger account, on which transactions already exist, as a matchable account.

You can specify the fiscal year and period for which you want to rebuild the account matching history.

Note: This session can also be used to remove unmatched transactions if you decide to stop performing account matching for a specific ledger account.

Field Information

Selection Range

  • Use Job Reference Date
    If selected, Infor LN uses the Job Reference Date as the basis for rebuilding history data.

  • Job Reference Date
    Specifies the date and time used for the rebuild process.
    Enabled only if "Use Job Reference Date" is selected.

  • Financial Company
    The financial company for which you want to rebuild a ledger account history.

  • Ledger Account
    The specific ledger account to rebuild.

  • Fiscal Year
    The fiscal year for which you want to rebuild the ledger account matching history.
