Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for TECHNOLOGY: Audit Configuration Management

Kathy Barthelt 0 2384 Article rating: 5.0

You use LN audit features to fully or partially log changes that users make to the LN database tables when they use LN sessions.

The audit functionality is based on the concept of audit profiles. In an audit profile, you define which tables and fields are audited and when, in the context of an audit profile. To bundle profiles in the same functional area, you can relate the profiles to audit categories. You can export and import audit profiles with various options to enable a quick configuration. The audit trail is stored in sequence files, which are generated for each combination of company and table.

Note: For some important parameter tables it is required that auditing is enabled.

You can view or print the history of modifications.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Production Order Parameters

Kathy Barthelt 0 1921 Article rating: 5.0

To avoid having to report quantities also at the order level, set the Post to Inventory when Reporting on Last Operation parameter to Yes in these sessions:

  • Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) > Planning tab
  • Production Settings by Site (timfc0180m000) > Production Order tab

With regard to as-built handling, because JobControl acts as a reporting tool similar to the Machine Work List (tisfc4600m000) session, we recommend these settings in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session (Miscellaneous tab) and Production Settings by Site (timfc0180m000) session (Production Order tab):

  • In the Serials section, set the Generate Serial Numbers parameter to On Printing Documents or On Release as the serial number that can be selected in JobControl to report completed or rejected products must have the Valid status in LN.
  • In the Serials section, we recommend setting the As-Built Status Handling parameter to Manual as the serial number assignment is performed in JobControl.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

FINANCE: Clear Rounding Differences for Documents with Period Change (tccri7214m000)

Use this session to adjust the rounding difference transactions, calculated during the internal conversion, for inter-period postings.

Inter-period postings are the postings made to the ledger accounts defined in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session for fiscal and reporting period changes.

If inter-period postings exist, very big rounding differences are calculated . If you run this session, those rounding differences are replaced with values that properly deal with an observed period change.

If inter-period postings exist, during the internal conversion rounding differences can be calculated for the wrong period. If you run this session, those rounding differences are deleted and the rounding differences are created for the correct period.



OPERATIONS: Sales Contract Linked Documents (tdsls3506m000)

Use this session to view the documents linked to a sales contract. You can view these documents only when a sales order line or a sales schedule line is linked to a sales contract line.

Note: 

  • You can view this session only if the Contracts check box is selected in the Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000) session.
  • You can use the Linked Document option from the References menu to view the details of a specific linked document.


Field Information

Contract: The code of the sales contract.

Description: The description of the sales contract

Line: The sequence number of the sales contract line.

Sales Office: The code of the sales office.

Description: The description of the Sales Office

Linked Document: The document type that is linked to the sales contract line.

Note: This field can be set to Sales Order Line or Sales Schedule Line only.

Linked Document Company: The company in which the document is linked to the sales contract line.

Linked Document: The code of the document that is linked to the sales contract line.

Note: 

  • The code of the sales order is defaulted from the Order Line field in Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.
  • The code of the sales schedule is defaulted from the Schedule field in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session.

Linked Document Reference: The reference number of the linked document.

Note: 

  • The line number of the sales order line is defaulted from the Line field in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.
  • The line number of the sales schedule line is defaulted from the Line field in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session.

Link Sequence: The sequence number of the linked document.


TECHNOLOGY: Audit Fields by Table (ttaud3125m000)

Use this session to to define which fields must be audited, and when they must be audited.

Note: 

  • It is not required to define the fields that must be audited. Only if not all fields in a table must be audited, you must specify the fields that must be audited. You can only specify fields for a table for which you selected Specified in the Field Selection field of the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000) session. If you selected All in that field, all fields in the table are audited, and no fields can be specified.

  • For a detailed explanation of the relation between audit type and field specification, refer to the section How to determine the net result of the audit configuration in the Audit Configuration Management topic.

  • The audit functionality uses the positive approach, which means that you can only specify which tables and fields must be audited, but not which tables and fields must not be audited. Therefore, through the appropriate menu, commands are available to load all (key) fields. You can then delete the fields you do not require.
