Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Clear Rounding Differences for Documents with Period Change (tccri7214m000)

Kathy Barthelt 0 5192 Article rating: 5.0

Use this session to adjust the rounding difference transactions, calculated during the internal conversion, for inter-period postings.

Inter-period postings are the postings made to the ledger accounts defined in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session for fiscal and reporting period changes.

If inter-period postings exist, very big rounding differences are calculated . If you run this session, those rounding differences are replaced with values that properly deal with an observed period change.

If inter-period postings exist, during the internal conversion rounding differences can be calculated for the wrong period. If you run this session, those rounding differences are deleted and the rounding differences are created for the correct period.

Infor LN & Baan Tip: Important Porting Set Announcement (all versions of LN & Baan)

There has been a recent porting set change due to Infor’s Product Life Cycle Policy.  

How to determine the maintenance stage of an Infor LN product version and release

Before a customer starts deploying Porting Set 9.4a or a later release, they must determine the actual maintenance stage of their Baan / Infor LN product. The definition of the maintenance stages for the product versions and releases of all versions of Baan and Infor LN are outlined in the Product Support schedule as published in the PLC policy. The maintenance stage of the ERP version is either “Mainstream Maintenance”, “Extended Maintenance” or “Sustaining Maintenance”.

How to manage Porting Set updates

The following conditions apply to customers who intend to upgrade to Porting Set 9.4a or later Porting Set releases:

  • For customers with a product version in Mainstream Maintenance, there will be no difference with regards to Porting Set updates. They can install Porting Set 9.4a or any newer release.
  • Customers with a product version in Extended Maintenance will be able to use Porting Set 9.4a only under the condition that they acquire an Extended Maintenance license and have applied the corresponding validated license key to their SLM License server. This key is a Server license type.
  • Customers with a product version in Extended Maintenance who have not acquired an Extended Maintenance license will not be able to use Porting Set 9.4a or any newer version. The latest Porting Set for these customers that can be installed and used is 9.3j which was released in April 2021.
  • Customers with a product version in Sustaining Maintenance will not be able to use Porting Set 9.4a or any newer version. The latest Porting Set for these customers is 9.3j which was released in April 2021. Customers who are not entitled to upgrade to Porting Set 9.4a can use any Porting Set release prior to Porting Set 9.4a. These continue to be available through the Infor Support Portal.

You can find more information in KB 1946498 General: Infor LN and Baan Product Lifecycle Policy and KB 2204515, or you may contact Crossroads RMC for assistance in determining whether or not you are able to upgrade your porting set.
