Kathy Barthelt 0 69934 Article rating: 5.0

Is the text linked to the purchase order just an information field? Could it be used for another purpose?

The text editor is just an information field when linked to the purchase order line and there is no other logic behind this functionality. The line text or the header text could be a part of the printed document. When you add text to a purchase order line you are creating a unique code that links the purchase order line (Baan - tdpur041/ LN - tdpur401) to the text (tttxt010).

George Moroses 0 29236 Article rating: 4.0

Use this program to enter period overhead expenses to distribute to various work centers. You can set up this overhead cost allocation on either a per-hour or a per-piece basis, depending on the overhead allocation type specified for each work center on the Work Center Maintenance screen, CAP100D2-01.

LN Report Archive Solution Overview

The LN Report Archive solution allows you to archive printed reports for long-term access and reprinting, even years after their original print date.

This is especially valuable for external documents such as invoices, purchase orders, and other reports sent to customers or suppliers. In some countries, the ability to reprint these documents for up to 10 years is a legal requirement.

Key Features:

  • Report Archiving:
    Define which reports should be archived. Once printed, they are automatically saved to a designated archive folder.

  • Reprinting Capability:
    Access and reprint archived reports whenever needed.

  • Archive Management:
    Easily maintain the archive by moving reports to another folder or transferring them to a CD-R(W) or DVD.
