Tip of the Week: What is Sales Tax Nexus?

Kathy Barthelt 0 178552 Article rating: No rating

Sales tax nexus is the connection between a seller and a state that requires the seller to collect and remit tax on sales made in that state. If you have nexus in California and Texas, for example, you must collect and remit sales tax in California and Texas.

Many states are expanding their nexus rules. Business activities like trade show attendance, drop shipping, employing remote workers, advertising, and housing inventory in other states can establish nexus. The rules vary by state and it can be challenging to keep up with all the places your business needs to register, collect, and remit sales tax.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Notes Maintenance Enhancements

Anthony Etzel 0 56520 Article rating: No rating

The Notes Maintenance feature is made up note programs that are accessible from a central location. The Note Text Maintenance (SYS555), Note Type Maintenance (SYS553) and Multi Language Notes Maintenance (SYS556) programs are all available as menu options.

Instead of having to go into separate programs to maintain note settings, the user can set up print options, specify user documents and customize user security levels for specific notes.

The Notes Maintenance feature provides a way to create, revise, delete, and copy note text that are categorized by note types. The print options in Notes Maintenance permit a user to define documents for which the note is intended. This includes base LX documents and custom documents. 

Finally, the notes program provides a way to define notes by assigning document types. For example, a document type can be created named “Invoice.” A note can then be defined to print on all invoice programs without requiring individual entry.

Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

TECHNICAL: Synchronize users from LX to SiM in batch

This enhancement improves performance by submitting to batch the automatic synchronization of changes from LX user maintenance (SYS600) to System i Manager (SiM). During LX user maintenance, there are now three possible approaches to synchronizing the LX user changes to SiM, controlled by system parameters. Synchronizing LX user changes to SiM in batch allows the person executing SYS600 to continue with additional maintenance or other transactions without waiting for the synchronization to finish.


FINANCE: Inventory Transaction History to Ledger Book Journal Line Relationship

This enhancement provides IDF relationships from Inventory Transaction History (ITH) to Ledger Book Subsystem Transaction (GXR) and from Ledger Book Subsystem Transaction (GXR) to Ledger Book Journal Line. To implement this enhancement, request and apply MR 81558.

This enhancement provided the following relationships:

  • Inventory Transaction History
  • Relationship to Ledger Book Subsystem Transaction (1 to Many) Default view ‘General’
  • Ledger Book Subsystem card Default view ‘Inventory Processing’
  • Default subset ‘Inventory Processing’

This enhancement provides users with complete traceability from inventory transactions (ITH) to ledger book journal lines (GLH), regardless of how many ledgers are used and journals created. Due to the bi-directional relationship, users can see the source ITH detail from the journal lines.

OPERATIONS: Infor Business Context (IBC) messages for INV500 

This enhancement adds publication of IBC messages to additional LX screens. While entering data on the primary screen for inventory transactions, IBC message are now published and available for use in Ming.le contextual applications.
