Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Prevent Voiding of Selected Invoices

George Moroses 0 19550 Article rating: 5.0

If a user selects an invoice for payment and another user voids the invoice during the payment process, it can produce erroneous and duplicate records. The ACP500 programs were modified to check the status of an invoice before it can be voided. If the invoice has been selected for payment, a message is generated, and the invoice cannot be voided.

George Moroses 0 22226 Article rating: 5.0

Automatically synchronize security changes from LX to IDF, replacing CPYSECIDF. This new process synchronizes users in IDF with those in core LX security whenever a user’s security settings are changed. When a user is deleted from an LX environment, they can also be automatically removed from the IDF environment. Changes to a user’s access to programs in LX are mirrored in IDF. Access to Companies, Facilities, and Warehouses are also synchronized. Additionally, when Business Roles or Business Units access is changed, all users assigned to those roles or units are updated in IDF security.
