BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Notes Maintenance Enhancements

Anthony Etzel 0 55335 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.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: IDF - Enterprise Items Application

Anthony Etzel 0 51793 Article rating: No rating

The Enterprise Item application in the Infor Development Framework for Infor LX supports display of all information relevant to an item. This includes numerous aspects of Inventory, including facility, warehouse, location, lot, and container data.

With the Enterprise Items application, you can customize the data displayed to include more or less data than is currently displayed using the standard Infor LX programs. You can access this information through a single point of entry, so there is no need to switch from one program to another to see all the data you require. This ability to customize will help streamline your decisions by allowing you to display information that is specific to your needs.

The various Enterprise Item application cards provide listings, maintenance type information, and current information that you could previously only access by running multiple standard Infor LX programs, such as Material Status Inquiry (INV300), Bill of Material Inquiry (BOM300), and Routing Inquiry (SFC100).

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

FINANCE: Copy Received Purchase Invoices (tfacp1210m000)

When the invoice is copied, the status in the Invoice Status field in the Received Purchase Invoices (tfacp1500m000) session is set to Registered. The invoice cannot be copied again.

Note: If you have started this session using the browse arrow, you can only find and select a record.

Field Information

  • Invoice-from Business Partner: The invoice-from business partner
  • Document - The document number: The document number is a sequence number under which the invoice is temporarily recorded. When an invoice is registered officially, you must assign the invoice to a different number, in combination with a transaction type.
  • Business Partner Invoice Number: The invoice-from business partner's invoice number is the invoice identification used in LN: This number is printed as the payment reference when the invoice is paid.
  • Invoice Date: The date printed on the invoice. This date is used as a reference date for the term of credit allowed.
  • Currency: The invoice currency
  • Amount: The invoice amount

OPERATIONS: Production Order Parameters

To avoid having to report quantities also at the order level, set the Post to Inventory when Reporting on Last Operation parameter to Yes in these sessions:

  • Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) > Planning tab
  • Production Settings by Site (timfc0180m000) > Production Order tab

With regard to as-built handling, because JobControl acts as a reporting tool similar to the Machine Work List (tisfc4600m000) session, we recommend these settings in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session (Miscellaneous tab) and Production Settings by Site (timfc0180m000) session (Production Order tab):

  • In the Serials section, set the Generate Serial Numbers parameter to On Printing Documents or On Release as the serial number that can be selected in JobControl to report completed or rejected products must have the Valid status in LN.
  • In the Serials section, we recommend setting the As-Built Status Handling parameter to Manual as the serial number assignment is performed in JobControl.

TECHNOLOGY: Audit Configuration Management

You use LN audit features to fully or partially log changes that users make to the LN database tables when they use LN sessions.

The audit functionality is based on the concept of audit profiles. In an audit profile, you define which tables and fields are audited and when, in the context of an audit profile. To bundle profiles in the same functional area, you can relate the profiles to audit categories. You can export and import audit profiles with various options to enable a quick configuration. The audit trail is stored in sequence files, which are generated for each combination of company and table.

Note: For some important parameter tables it is required that auditing is enabled.

You can view or print the history of modifications.
