Infor LX/BPCS Tips for EXECUTIVES
FINANCE: Override Warning in Invoice Entry PO Costing
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.

OPERATIONS: Auto Calculate Vendor Delivery Date
Enhances purchase order efficiency by automatically calculating the Vendor Delivery Date based on user input.
-
When a purchase order line is created, the user enters the item, order quantity, and Due Date.
-
LX automatically calculates the Vendor Delivery Date, adding buffer time for quality control, testing, and inspection activities.
-
If the Due Date is revised, an informational message prompts the user to review and potentially update the Vendor Delivery Date.
Enhancements:
-
A new PUR820 system parameter enables automatic recalculation of the Vendor Delivery Date.
-
Instead of a manual reminder, PUR500 now issues a message: “Vendor Delivery Date recalculated,” showing the updated date.
Benefits:
TECHNOLOGY: User Provisioning
Enables integration between LX and Infor OS Federation Services (IFS) to automate user provisioning.
