Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: IDF RMA Inquiry

George Moroses 0 901 Article rating: 5.0

This enhancement provides a robust RMA Inquiry capability. The base RMA Inquiry application delivers role-based functionality to support customer service, sales, pricing and business analysis functions.

The IDF RMA Inquiry presentation enhances a number of customer service and data analysis functions.

  • RMA List provides filters that allow sorting and sequencing by any displayed data field, such as RMA number, customer number, Total RMA amount, request date, good thru date, Customer reason code, Disposition reason code, Q/C reason code.
  • RMA Line List provides filters that allow sorting and sequencing by any displayed data field, such as item number, request date, extended amount, net price, Customer reason code, Disposition reason code, Q/C reason code.
  • RMA detail cards provide additional details about the RMA, as well as about any orders that will result from the RMA.


IDF RMA Inquiry provides significant enhancement to several business roles:

Customer service personnel, customer service managers responsible for handling customer complaints and negotiating return conditions with the customer Warehouse personnel, warehouse manager at the return warehouse. Billing personnel, billing managers responsible for processing credits to the customer and handling questions related to the RMA, return and eventual credit.

Managers responsible for analysis of returns related to reasons for returns, resulting replacement orders, recommendations for improving pricing or internal processes to reduce returns.

Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Archive Net Price for Deleted Lines

George Moroses 0 787 Article rating: 5.0

Infor LX now stores the Net Price for a deleted line, so that the information is available for later analysis.

If an order line is canceled, LX stores the current Net Price in a new Net Price Archive field. The Net Price Archive field is updated whether the line is deleted through Line Entry (ORD700D2) or Fast Line Entry (ORD700DA), or the entire transaction is deleted through Order, Quote or RMA Directory (ORD700D1).

The Net Price Archive field can be useful when analyzing the reasons for canceled order lines. Users can define Cancellation Reason Codes related to pricing. Review of the archived Net Price, along with other values from canceled order lines such as Order Quantity and Selling Unit of Measure, Cancellation Reason Code, Request Date, Price Book Date, Item Number and Customer Number, can lead to adjustments to pricing structures, promotion qualifiers or other actions that can avoid loss of revenue on future orders, or follow-up actions to recover the canceled line.

Is your team still manually entering UPS and FedEx information into your Baan or Infor LN system?

Kathy Barthelt 0 898 Article rating: 5.0

If so, those manual shipping steps are likely costing you time, money, and customer satisfaction:

❌ Re-entering shipping details into Baan or Infor LN

❌ Copy-pasting tracking numbers

❌ Delayed invoicing and frustrated customers

There’s a better way to manage your parcel shipping.

The Results Are Clear:

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Simulated Purchase Prices (ticpr1170m000)

Kathy Barthelt 0 2238 Article rating: 5.0

Use this session to define simulated purchase prices for purchased items per site.

Field Information:

  • Cost Calculation Code - price calculation code
  • Item

The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
     
  • ​Site - The site for which the purchase price is simulated.
  • Purchase Currency - The currency of the simulated purchase price.
  • Simulated Price - Purchase price

The simulated purchase price and currency are recorded twice.

  • Simulated Price Multi Currency - The purchase price in multiple currencies.

The simulated purchase price and currency are recorded twice. The amount in this field is related to the price of the supplier.

  • Unit - Purchase price unit
  • Cost Component - The cost component that must be of the type Material Costs.

Note: The cost component specified in this field does not become part of the standard cost detail structure if it is part of the cost component scheme of the selected item. If calculations are performed with a calculation code not used for actualization (simulations only), the simulated purchase price is mapped to the cost component defined in the records for this session.

Kathy Barthelt 0 1944 Article rating: 5.0

TECHNOLOGY & FINANCE: Archiving Finalized Transactions

To support correct archiving in a multicompany structure, the following rules apply:

  • Each company must have its own archive company. Companies cannot share an archive company.
  • The structure of archive companies must be an exact copy of the live environment.
  • A company must keep the same archive company until the end of its lifetime. Once data has been archived, you cannot change the archive company.

If extra archiving capacity is required, it is recommended that you set up...

Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Drop Shipments

Infor LX provides a tightly integrated drop shipment processing capability. The product supports the creation, tracking, and management of customer drop shipment orders via the Order Management, Purchasing, and Billing applications.

The order processing professional initiates drop shipments during customer order creation. You can designate any order line for drop shipment if it meets user-defined drop ship controls. If you designate a line as a drop ship line, the system automatically creates a drop ship request in purchase order processing.

When a buyer responds to a drop ship request and creates a purchase order, Infor LX notifies the order processing department and cross-references both the customer order and the purchase order. After vendor shipment confirmation, Infor LX automatically notifies the Billing application to initiate the invoice process. Infor LX supports constant communication between the order professional, the buyer, and the billing professional throughout the order cycle.

Note that Order Management performs soft allocations for drop shipments to allow the MPS/MRP application to net customer order drop ship demand against open purchase orders. Drop Ship Confirmation, BIL650, removes the soft allocation. Order Management does not allow hard allocations for drop ship items because the items are not physically received or issued from inventory.

Order Entry defaults to the Warehouse Master's Default Receiving Location for all drop ship lines to specify the profit center for inventory and general ledger transactions.
