FINANCE: Override Warning in Invoice Entry PO Costing

OPERATIONS: Auto Calculate Vendor Delivery Date

TECHNOLOGY: User Provisioning

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.

Users can personalize sessions and apply special formatting to the data displayed in sessions. 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.
