Baan / LN Tip: Pro Forma

Kathy Barthelt 0 78010 Article rating: 5.0
Pro Forma invoices can be issued based on order or delivery. If you choose delivery, the pro forma can be linked to the final sales invoice through the sub-session “Related Invoices.”  However, this requires the sales order step “Release to Sales Order/Schedules to Invoicing” to be a manual step. If it is automated, the order will be sent to Invoicing 360 directly and the link to the final invoice will not be made.

Baan/LN Tip: Saving Space in Your General Ledger

Kathy Barthelt 0 83313 Article rating: 5.0

Compressing Integration Transactions

One way to save space in your general ledger is to compress integration transactions. The transactions are combined into one ledger account number. However, the detail is still available in the integration transactions sessions.

The compression is seen after the transactions are finalized. 

Compression is established in the mapping scheme by checking the box under the columns “Compression of Debit/Credit Transactions". This can only be done in a mapping scheme that is not activated.

5 WARNING SIGNS Your Disconnected Business Systems Are Costing You Money

  1. You Can’t Track Project Costs in Real-Time
    If you're waiting until after a project wraps up to find out whether it was profitable, that’s a major red flag. Without real-time cost tracking, you're making critical decisions in the dark.

  2. Quoting and Estimating Are Slow, Manual, or Inconsistent
    Does it take hours—or even days—to build a custom quote because you're pulling information from multiple systems? That lost time translates directly into lost sales opportunities.

  3. You Rely on Spreadsheets for Critical Operations
    Spreadsheets are useful—until they’re not. Issues like version control problems, accidental overwrites, and human error can lead to costly mistakes.

  4. Scheduling and Inventory Management Are Disconnected from Financials
    If your production and finance teams aren’t working from the same data, it’s only a matter of time before you face delays, stockouts, or budget overruns.

  5. You Don’t Have a Real-Time View of Project Profitability
    Without live costing tied directly to jobs, small losses can accumulate unnoticed, until it's too late.

Disconnected data refers to information stored outside your core business systems, like your ERP. While this data has value, a lack of integration causes inefficiencies and misalignment across your organization, often more than you realize.


The Cost of Disconnected Data

In a recent study by SnapLogic and Vanson Bourne, 500 business users and IT decision-makers in large enterprises across the US and UK were surveyed. The findings reveal the true cost and challenges of disconnected data:

  • $140 billion is lost annually due to wasted time, duplicated efforts, and missed opportunities.

  • 47% say disconnected data negatively affects their ability to innovate and bring new products/services to market.

  • 46% report it impairs their ability to engage and support customers effectively.

  • 56% believe data silos are creating barriers to achieving business goals.
