Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES
FINANCE: Copy Received Purchase Invoices (tfacp1210m000)
When the invoice is copied, the status in the Invoice Status field in the Received Purchase Invoices (tfacp1500m000) session is set to Registered. The invoice cannot be copied again.
Note: If you have started this session using the browse arrow, you can only find and select a record.
Field Information
- Invoice-from Business Partner: The invoice-from business partner
- Document - The document number: The document number is a sequence number under which the invoice is temporarily recorded. When an invoice is registered officially, you must assign the invoice to a different number, in combination with a transaction type.
- Business Partner Invoice Number: The invoice-from business partner's invoice number is the invoice identification used in LN: This number is printed as the payment reference when the invoice is paid.
- Invoice Date: The date printed on the invoice. This date is used as a reference date for the term of credit allowed.
- Currency: The invoice currency
- Amount: The invoice amount
OPERATIONS: Production Order Parameters
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.
TECHNOLOGY: Audit Configuration Management
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.
