IDF News: Making modifications to IDF programs or files

George Moroses 0 34398 Article rating: 5.0

If you are making modifications to IDF programs or files, it is a good idea to create your modified objects in a test library that you create for this purpose.

The test library should be added to the top of the library list just after the temporary library QTEMP so your modified objects are found instead of the standard IDF objects. This test library allows you to make changes and test them, or to continue running in this mode permanently without actually replacing the original objects. This test library also helps you to isolate and control your modifications when applying patches from Infor.

Infor LX & BPCS Tip of the Week: What is EGLi?

George Moroses 0 59142 Article rating: 5.0

EGLi provides Infor LX Configurable Enterprise Accounting (CEA) functionality including Advanced Transaction Processing (ATP), a configurable ledger, and batch transaction processing in the IDF architecture.

EGLi is a complete replacement for CEA. Infor LX applications integrate with EGLi, and subsystem transactions generated in Infor LX are used to create journal entries in EGLi. The Infor LX integration system parameters allow you to specify whether CEA or EGLi is your primary financial product.

We recommend that you select CEA while you test the integration. The primary financial product flag and the CEA migration programs are designed to assist existing CEA clients with their implementation of EGLi. Journals are produced in both GL systems so you can verify that the data in both GL systems are the same. This integration includes migration programs that copy your existing CEA files to corresponding EGLi files. After you run the migration programs, EGLi should be configured and ready to use. If you are already running IDF via Ming.le or SiW, before you install EGLi, you will need to see the Ming.le integration guide for instructions on how to export EGLi tasks from IDF to SiW/Ming.le.

DATA: See it. Understand it. Discuss it.

Customer Orders SummaryWe’ve all heard author and management consultant Peter Drucker’s famous quote “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.”  

What’s the right way to manage “It” though? Is it enough to put the data in the hands of the responsible manager and wait for change to occur? Does the manager have a pulse on everything that went into those numbers?

Your numbers tell a story, but there is a lot of “how” and “why” that creates a backstory that affects the interpretation and the actions needed to improve. Does your manager have the backstory? Probably not, so you share the numbers and invite employees to participate in the discussion, only to discover that the 3rd shift was short-staffed for over a week, or a material shortage caused a delay in order fulfillment, or quality issues resulted in a large amount of rework, thereby delaying other production runs. How do you get ALL of this information without the need to discuss it with each person doing the work? 

D A S H B O A R D S !   See it. Understand it. Discuss it.
