George Moroses 0 30080 Article rating: 5.0

Did you know?  Product interface list, SYS635D

This program creates a report that contains all interface program call records that were created for the Infor LX programs specified in the range on this screen. The report contains a line for each record found. The line displays the following information:

  • The name of an Infor LX program that contains a user exit to an add-on program
  • The interface point in the Infor LX program, that is, an identifier of the point in the program code where the user exit is requested
  • The execution sequence number of the record, because more than one add-on program can exist that can run from the same interface point
  • The add-on program to call at the interface point. The Add-on Product Interface file, ZXI, stores the records.

George Moroses 0 28644 Article rating: 5.0

George Moroses 0 30536 Article rating: 5.0

If Infor LX is set up to prevent over-receipts, you cannot post a receipt quantity that is more than the remaining PO line quantity with the over-tolerance % added to it.

As an alternative, you can:

  • Receive the maximum, remaining line quantity plus over-tolerance percentage quantity, and reject the balance to quarantine or
  • Receive the full quantity into quarantine.


Note: Over-receipt checking applies only to receipts to stock.

Infor LN & Baan Tip of the Week: Limitations of Customer Defined Fields (CDFs)

Kathy Barthelt 0 75117 Article rating: 5.0

Customer Defined fields are fields that can be added to tables, screens, reports, and BODs. Validation and calculation logic can be defined around those fields. This gives you great added capability and flexibility… however, are you aware of the limitations of using CDFs?

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Pegging Material Supply Lines for Operation and Product Subcontracting

For project pegged production orders, operations can be subcontracted. The material delivered to the subcontractor can be project pegged or anonymous. The subassemblies sent and retrieved are always project pegged. Costing breaks can be applied to direct the costs of the subcontracted operation to a specific project cost account. If (production material) costing breaks are used, a purchase order line's peg can differ from the peg on the material supply line.

For product subcontracting, the subcontracted purchase orders can include materials that inherit the project pegs or can include anonymous materials. The pegged materials are stored in inventory and are shipped to the subcontractor with project pegged orders.

In case of a project pegged order, a peg distribution is linked to the Purchase Order Material Supply Line in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session. For a specific purchase order line (detail) and material sequence, the material supply line's Order and Consumption quantities are distributed across the peg distribution lines for combinations of project/budget, project element, and/or project activity. The peg information in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session includes the line number for the peg in the distribution, the peg (project, element, activity), and the material supply line quantity by peg. The peg distribution cannot be manually created and must always be generated using the parent.

For operation subcontracting, the purchase order line, the material supply line, and the linked peg distributions are generated by Job Shop Control and can only be updated by Job Shop Control.

For product subcontracting, the purchase order line, the material supply line, and the peg distributions are generated by Procurement. A material supply line's peg distribution can be updated only from the parent, that is the purchase order line, the purchase order line peg distribution, or the material supply line. If a purchase order line's distribution line is changed, and no quantities are received or consumed yet, the pegged fields on the linked material supply lines are synchronized to the updated distribution line in the Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000) session. However, if a different quantity distribution is applicable, the quantities of the material supply lines' distribution lines are redetermined in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session.
