George Moroses 0 17575 Article rating: 5.0

Infor LX & BPCS Tip of the Week: Item Deletion Option in IDF Enterprise Items

George Moroses 0 21069 Article rating: 5.0

Previously, users were unable to delete items in IDF Enterprise Items when they have inventory balances or the item is connected to ancillary records, such as sales history records. This feature added in LX 8.4 provides the ability to delete an item when sales history records are found but all sales history activity is zero.

When the user attempts to delete an item in IDF Enterprise Items that is tied to a sales history record, the panel displays a message that the item cannot be deleted. The user can then run the Delete Validation Report to determine which records are tied to this item that prevents the validation. If the item no longer has manufacturing activity but had old sales history, the item can be deleted.

Infor LN & Baan Tip of the Week: New Inventory Aging Analysis Report – 10.7

Kathy Barthelt 0 61054 Article rating: 5.0

A new standard Inventory Aging report can be printed in the Perform Inventory Aging Analysis (whina1440m000) session. This report is mainly based on the physical incoming and outgoing inventory movements and transactions. The date of inventory consumption or issue is compared to the date of receipt. If inventory is not yet issued, a reference date is used for aging calculation.

The report includes this information:

  • Which inventory items are not frequently used or are obsolete.
  • How long items have been stored in a warehouse.
  • Inventory and transaction values. This facilitates the financial auditing process.

To use this new feature, an inventory aging analysis definition must be available in the Inventory Aging Analysis Definition (whina1140m000) session.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Update, Cancel or Remove Outbound Order Lines

When the originating order or order line of an outbound order line is canceled or changed, this affects the outbound order line and may affect the related outbound advice, shipments, or shipment lines.

For most order origins, warehousing order-type parameters determine whether these actions are allowed:

  • Update the outbound order line if the originating order is changed.
  • Cancel the originating order line and the outbound order line.
  • Delete the canceled outbound order line.

If updating is allowed, changes made to the originating order are updated to the outbound order line and the related outbound advice, and, if present, picking lists, are deleted.

If updating is not allowed, a message is displayed, and the input is blocked when you try to change the originating order line.

If canceling is allowed, the outbound order line is deleted or set to Canceled when the originating order line is canceled.

When a canceled outbound order line is deleted, if present, the related outbound advice and picking list are also deleted. Outbound order lines originating from manual order origins cannot be deleted when canceled.

To process an outbound order line that is not deleted but set to Canceled, the outbound order line must be set to Shipped. The status of the outbound order line determines whether all steps of the outbound and shipment procedures must be completed to process the outbound order line.

When a canceled outbound order line is set to Shipped, the shipped quantity is automatically set to 0. You can create a transfer order to return the not-shipped goods to inventory.

If canceling is not allowed, you cannot cancel the originating order line or the outbound order line. A message to that effect is displayed when you try to cancel the originating order line.

To prevent the goods from being shipped when canceling is not allowed, you must complete the outbound and shipment procedures. When confirming the shipment line, you must set the shipped quantities to 0 and create a transfer order to return the not-shipped goods to inventory.
