Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Override Warning in Invoice Entry PO Costing

Tuesday, June 10, 2025

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.

Infor LN & Baan: BIG DATA - Keeping Track of Key Metrics

If decisions are made based on the data or the view of data that individuals are maintaining through their own spreadsheets or other data silos, then communication is negatively impacted.
