Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Can’t Select Orders for Pick Release or Pick Confirm?

George Moroses 0 19271 Article rating: 5.0

Orders that are on credit hold, customer hold, user hold, margin hold, credit card hold or pricing hold cannot be selected for Pick Release or Pick Confirm. The ORD952B, Orders Not Selected Report, can be requested at Pick Release or Pick Confirm to list any order that would normally qualify for selection, but has been excluded for other reasons, and to print that reason. ORD952B has been modified to validate the hold status of the original customer order, and to print a reference to the original customer order along with the reason.

Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Configurable Ledger (CLD) Benefits

George Moroses 0 29641 Article rating: 5.0

Did you know CLD provides you with the following benefits?

â–ª You can journalize and post-transaction data from any third-party application or Infor LX subsystem to the Configurable Ledger (CLD).

â–ª You can generate multiple journal entries across different charts of accounts, ledgers, and books within the CLD from one transaction line.

â–ª You can automatically post transaction amounts across different books using an appropriate exchange rate between the batch transaction currency and target book currency.

â–ª You can use validation reports to identify validation errors within the files that contain batch transaction data and then you can make any necessary corrections before resubmission.

â–ª You can use standard CEA grouping and summarization options for journals created during Batch Transaction Processing.

â–ª You can interface GLD journal entries into CEA for the BPCD version of Infor LX. This allows data to be interfaced into CEA without changing the way data is processed through Infor LX subsystems.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Improves control over PO costing changes during invoice entry by replacing passive warnings with an intentional override action.

  • In ACP500D3 (Invoice Entry PO Costing), users previously could unintentionally accept changes by pressing ENTER, even when quantity to cost or amount to cost values had changed.

  • A new “F14 to Override” warning message replaces the old message:
    “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”
    This ensures users acknowledge and confirm significant changes explicitly.

New System Parameter:

  • “Apply GRN Costing Tolerance for PO Costing” (optional):

    • Within tolerance: Displays the original message —
      “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”

    • Outside tolerance: Triggers the new override requirement —
      “F14 to Override”

Benefits:

  • Enhances oversight and reduces unintentional cost acceptance.

  • Enables better control of PO costs when invoice details differ from expectations.
