Infor LX & BPCS Tip of the Week: How do I restrict over-shipments to customers - LX 8.4?

George Moroses 0 1289 Article rating: 5.0

This enhancement prevents over-allocations and resulting overshipments to customers. Attempted over-shipments can present an error message to the user, or there is an option to automatically adjust the user’s request to the allowed quantity.

Since over-shipments result from over-allocations, Infor LX provides an optional validation during the four processes where a user can attempt to over-allocate. Note: Infor LX never over-allocates or over-ships; this always results from a user’s action. This enhancement provides three options regarding over-allocations and over-shipments:

  • Continue current process with warning message.
  • Show error message.
  • Automatically change allocation quantity to match quantity available for shipment.

If the over-ship quantity change is acceptable, internal procedures may require that the order quantity be revised so that pricing, promotions, credit checking, load planning, and other processes reflect the actual quantity.

The programs or areas impacted include:

  • ORD820D, Order Entry System Parameters
  • ORD720D2, Order Allocations
  • ORD725D, Order Entry Allocations
  • ORD570D5, Pick Confirm Inventory Confirmation
  • ORD700D2 / ORD700DA / ORD710B, Order Line Validation

Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Automated Approach to Your Cash Application Process with ARP

Advanced Remittance Processing, ARP, provides an automated approach to your cash application process. ARP works together with Accounts Receivable to save valuable time and resources by automatically applying incoming payments to open receivables during daily batch processing. You can easily and efficiently resolve unapplied remittances online.

Advanced Remittance Processing (ARP) is an automatic cash application process that allows you to perform the following functions:

  • Receive lockbox deposits electronically from your banks on the day the payments are deposited
  • Automatically apply the majority of the day's receipts to open items in accounts receivable in one batch process
  • Perform online disposition of exceptions the system encounters during the automatic cash application process
  • Generate a complete set of daily reports and maintain historical deposit and payment information online to allow you to audit all cash applications

The ARP automatic cash application process can be summarized in a series of operations that highlight the labor savings provided. ARP processing requires some setup to ensure that the process operates as efficiently as possible.

ARP allows you to perform the following operations:

  • Receive/Edit Bank Transmission of Lockbox Deposits
  • Identify/Assign Customer Numbers
  • Select Customer Open Items
  • Summarize Open Items Extracted
  • Check Application Against Open Items
  • Produce Reports Recapping Check Application Process
