Infor LX / BPCS Tips & Tricks for Finance: Inventory Period Balance Freeze

George Moroses 0 20377 Article rating: 5.0

Users can now freeze period-end balances at the end of a fiscal period. You can now store the opening/ending on hand balance for each Inventory period at the Item (IIM), Warehouse/Item (IWI) and Lot/Location (ILI) levels. This information can then be used for inventory tracking and valuation purposes, as well as other ad hoc financial and audit reporting requirements. Infor LX clients can backdate inventory transactions into the immediate previously closed period, and thus update what was saved as the opening/ending balance throughout the current open period.

Infor LX / BPCS Tips & Tricks for Operations: Retain Lot Status on Shipped Resupply Orders

George Moroses 0 15451 Article rating: 5.0

When a lot is completely shipped on a customer order, the Lot Status is changed to Z. Since a resupply order must still be received in the To Warehouse to complete the transaction, do not update the lot status when the resupply order is shipped. If a lot is completely shipped on a resupply order, LX no longer updates the lot status to Z, because the shipped lot retains its current lot status, the additional steps, no additional steps are required to receive it in the To Warehouse.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

TECHNOLOGY: LN Report Archive

The LN Report Archive solution enables you to archive reports, so you can reprint them, even several years after they are initially printed.

Archiving is particularly useful for external documents, which are reports that are sent, for example, to customers and suppliers, such as invoices and orders.

In some countries having this type of reports that can be reprinted for at least 10 years after the reports are initially printed is a legal requirement.

In the LN Report Archive solution, you have these options:

  • Specify which reports must be archived. When printed, these reports are automatically stored in an archive folder.
  • Reprint the archived reports.
  • Maintain the archived reports, for example, move archived reports to another folder or to a CD-R(W)/DVD.

Note: Reports that are printed to Business Objects Reports are archived in the same way as other reports. However, you cannot reprint archived reports on a Business Objects device.

OPERATIONS: Revisions and approval

Note that the Bill of Material and Routing are revision controlled. When a structure is generated for the first time, a first revision is made with status New.

If the Approve Structures Automatically check box is selected in the Job Shop Master Data Parameter (tirou0500m000) session, the revision is created with status Approved.

If the structure is regenerated, the current revision status determines the result:

  • If the status is New, this revision is overwritten
  • If the status is Approved, a new revision is created

FINANCE: Moving calendar periods

You can move monthly periods to a different parent period. For example, if you have a monthly calendar, you can create quarter periods and move months to the quarters.

  1. Select Financials > Global Ledger > Setup > Finance Enterprise Group > Maintenance.
  2. Open the finance enterprise group.
  3. Click the Calendar tab.
  4. Open the calendar for which you want to move periods.
  5. Click the Hierarchy tab.
  6. Select the periods to move.
  7. Select Actions > Move.
  8. Select the new parent period under which you want to move the periods.
  9. Click OK.
