What this solves

The Cycle Counting Variances session (whinh8352m000) provides a visual way to analyze inventory discrepancies, helping teams identify patterns and root causes across warehouses and counting activities.

Manage the Complexity of Tax Compliance

Insights from our partner Avalara

Crossroads RMC 0 1443 Article rating: 5.0

Sales tax compliance becomes more complex as businesses grow. Expanding into new markets, adding locations, selling online, or integrating systems after an acquisition can quickly introduce new tax obligations.

Many organizations find manual tax processes difficult to manage and scale. Automation can simplify compliance, improve accuracy, and reduce the risk of costly penalties.

When Compliance Gets Complicated

Changes such as the following often create new tax requirements:

• Upgrading or changing ERP systems
• Mergers or acquisitions requiring system integration
• Adding locations or warehouses
• Expanding into e-commerce
• Managing remote employees
• Selling at trade shows across multiple states

Businesses may also struggle with large transaction volumes, exempt products or customers, audit exposure, and tax obligations in complicated states.

Infor LN & Baan Tip of the Week: Job Groups in LN

In a scenario where performing job A depends on the result of job B, it is hard to decide at what time job A must be scheduled, and how long job B runs. To handle dependent jobs, you can now create a job group. Use the Job Groups (ttaad5140m000) session to create a job group. A job group has a name, with the same characteristics as a job name, and a description. The Status and User of the job group are handled automatically.

After creating the job group, the jobs are added to the group, approximately in the order the jobs must be performed. The first job in the group (with the lowest Group Number) determines the handling of the whole job group, such as execution date and whether the job group is being repeated. If the job group is not repeating, the job group and all non-repeating jobs in the job group are deleted when the job group has run.

The dependencies of the jobs in the job group are also determined. A job in the job group can only depend on a job in the same job group with a lower job number.

You can use the specific options in the Job Groups (ttaad5140m000 andttams5640m000) sessions to change the status of the job group. The job group statuses have the same meaning as the status of the jobs and the same status changes are allowed.

Note: Job groups are only handled by the BSE service Job Scheduler Service.
