Baan / LN tip of the Week: approving a new tax code

Kathy Barthelt 0 87260 Article rating: 5.0

Prior to approving a new tax code, the system displays a message, “An approved tax code cannot be changed anymore. Continue?” This is concerning to end users if they take the message literally. The user can answer “Yes” to the question as it refers to the tax details, not the rates or ledger accounts. A user can always change the tax rate and ledger accounts after it has been approved. All taxing authorities change rates periodically, so it is logical that these could be updated as needed.

BPCS / LX Tip of the Week: Facility Security Ranges

Anthony Etzel 0 54170 Article rating: 5.0

Previously, a user was able to complete the Cost Transfer (CST920) process for any range of facilities regardless of their security settings established in SYS600. This enhancement verifies the user security settings that were set up in SYS600 before processing cost transfers for a range of facilities in CST920. If the user has authority for a facility range, but there are facilities within that range that are not authorized, the program skips those facilities and complete the cost transfer process. After the user enters a range in the CST920 screen that is outside of their authority set up in SYS600, a message is displayed that explains they are not authorized to all facilities. Before the enhancement was applied, a user could enter any range in CST920 and it would transfer the costs, regardless of their security level. This enhancement provides security in CST920 that prevents incorrect cost transfers from being processed.

Infor LN & Baan Materials Tip: Sales Quotations

Sales quotations are used to supply a sold-to business partner with the required details to make a purchasing decision.

You can create a sales quotation in response to a request for quotation (RFQ) from a business partner, or as a sales tool to initiate the sales process with potential business partners. A quotation includes the dates, terms, items, or item descriptions to be sold, and a success percentage, which reflects the level of certainty that the quotation will be accepted. Sales quotations are included in the planning modules based on their success percentages. Quotations with a high success percentage are considered as sold.

You can print and send quotations to business partners. You can specify the results of the returned quotations in Sales. If the quotation is not accepted, you can specify the reason for failure and the competitor who won the quote. If the business partner accepts the quotation, you can transfer the quotation to a sales order and specify the reason for success.

Sales quotation procedure - The normal sales quotation procedure includes the creation, printing, specification of results, and processing of sales quotations.

Additional processes - A number of processes do not always occur in the sales quotation procedure, but can be used optionally, such as ATP and CTP checks, creating alternative quotation lines, and copying bill of material components to a sales quotation.

Inserting items from a catalog - You can add items from a catalog to a sales quotation.

Product variants -  You can configure or link product variants for generic items on the sales quotation line.

Price stages - You can link a price stage to a sales quotation line. When processing the quotation to a sales order, the price stage is copied from the quotation line to the sales order line. Sales order lines can be blocked based on the price stage.

Material price information - You can link material price information to a sales quotation line. As a result, the (document line) price on the sales quotation line includes material prices.

After-sales services -  You can specify the after-sales services that will apply to a sold item after delivery. When processing a quotation to a sales order, the after-sales service data is copied from the sales quotation to the sales order.

Project pegging in sales - To identify costs, demand, and supply for a project, you can peg project costs for sales quotation.
