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

George Moroses 0 22369 Article rating: 5.0

This enhancement prevents users from voiding invoices after they have been selected for payment. 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.

Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for TECHNOLOGY: Update User Security in IDF

George Moroses 0 24636 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.

Instead of copying from the parent item's bill of material and routing, the new shop order’s materials and operations will be copied from the selected shop order.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for 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.
