Everyone understands the importance of ERP reporting, but what if you’re relying on the wrong reports?

Having access to ERP data in a usable format allows for a common understanding and the ability to take action based on what the data is telling you. What do you do if the way your data is presented is not useful, or flat out wrong?

How can your reports be wrong? That would mean that the data is wrong, wouldn’t it?
Not necessarily. Reports are wrong because they are stagnant. They represent the truth ONLY at the moment they are run. If that data is shared with others within your organization, the information the report(s) is trying to convey has already changed. Decisions are then made on bad information.

Infor LN & Baan Tip: Financial Integration Mapping Scheme

Transactions to be mapped - In the mapping scheme, you must define the ledger mapping and the dimension mapping for these types of transactions:

  1. Financial integration transactions resulting from logistic events in Operations Management.
  2. General Ledger transactions.
  3. Procurement card transactions in Accounts Payable.


In addition, to support dimension accounting you must define the dimension mapping of financial transactions from Accounts Payable and from Invoicing to the various dimensions.

The setup procedure - creating, changing, or extending an integration mapping scheme, consists of these steps:

  1. Map scheme prerequisites.
  2. If no mapping scheme exists, create a mapping scheme.
  3. Create a mapping scheme version.
  4. Map by Reconciliation Group (tfgld4166m000)
  5. Set up the integration transaction document numbers for the integration transactions.
  6. Set up compression of the transactions.
  7. Check and activate a mapping scheme for your mapping scheme version.
