Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Clear Rounding Differences for Documents with Period Change (tccri7214m000)

Kathy Barthelt 0 2015 Article rating: 5.0

Use this session to adjust the rounding difference transactions, calculated during the internal conversion, for inter-period postings.

Inter-period postings are the postings made to the ledger accounts defined in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session for fiscal and reporting period changes.

If inter-period postings exist, very big rounding differences are calculated . If you run this session, those rounding differences are replaced with values that properly deal with an observed period change.

If inter-period postings exist, during the internal conversion rounding differences can be calculated for the wrong period. If you run this session, those rounding differences are deleted and the rounding differences are created for the correct period.

Infor LN & Baan Year-End Processing Checklist for Period and Fiscal Year Closure

The conclusion of the fiscal year is inevitably a hectic period, making it crucial not to overlook essential tasks within your ERP system to ensure a seamless year-end close and set the stage for a successful start to the upcoming year. Below are critical items to include in your comprehensive checklist:

Year-End Close Process:

  1. Remove discontinued items.
  2. Eliminate sold purchase receipts.
  3. Clear lot attributes for sold lots.
  4. Update standard cost based on the current cost field (for environments without Manufacturing only).

Prepare for Year-End Close:

  1. Conduct a comprehensive physical inventory and update quantities before the actual year-end or establish a robust cycle-counting program.
  2. Review and post any applicable sales and purchase invoices/returns.
  3. Prepare users for a year-end push to complete all year-to-date inventory adjustments, receipts, and invoicing.
  4. Determine procedures for handling new year transactions without immediate posting.
  5. Establish new standard costs for the upcoming year (Manufacturing).
  6. Discuss cutoff dates for removing Archived BOMs and Closed/Canceled Mfg Orders (Manufacturing).

Finance Specific Items:

  1. Set up financial periods for 2024 (fiscal, reporting, and tax, as applicable).
  2. Open January period in 2024.
  3. Finalize any outstanding transactions from the current year (2023).
  4. Perform a soft-close for any open periods in 2023.

General Baan/LN Tips:

  1. Issue any pending old sales invoices.
  2. Resolve outstanding financial integration errors.
  3. Establish new integration mapping for 2024 as needed.
  4. Test the mapping in a controlled environment before the new year.
  5. Review and update jobs to ensure they will process in 2024.
  6. Determine, for cash-flow purposes, which purchase invoices won’t be paid until 2024.
  7. Verify that calendars are set up for the new year with holidays correctly indicated.
  8. Check jobs to ensure that any with hard-coded dates will point at the new year.
