Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Restricted User Access

Kathy Barthelt 0 99257 Article rating: No rating

Administrators are able to restrict access in Baan in several ways – including Companies, Packages, Modules, Sessions, and Tables – using the Authorization capabilities of the system.

In Baan IV, access can be given or denied on a user by user basis.

In Baan V and LN, the Authorization Management System can provide or deny access based upon roles to which users are assigned.

BPCS/LX TIP OF THE WEEK: INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Anthony Etzel 0 35651 Article rating: No rating

Establishing the Quantity On-Hand and the Quantity Available.

LX maintains buckets for information associated with the following inventory transactions for each item:

  • Opening Balance
  • Issues
  • Receipts
  • Adjustments
  • Allocations for the Customer
  • Allocations for Manufacturing

The on hand quantity does not include any allocations. To arrive at the on hand quantity, start with the opening balance, less any issues, plus any receipts, then add or subtract any adjustments. Available inventory is the on-hand less any allocations.

Here are some issues that you might run into if you stay on an old porting set too long:

  • Incompatibility because of operating system patches
  • Printing issues because of out-of-date libraries
  • Potential performance issues if binaries are not updated
  • Updating third party products may not be possible because of dependencies
  • Limited support from Infor
  • Issues with updating database software/patches because of dependencies (if database is also running on same server as application)

Baan/LN Tip of the Week: What Could go Wrong With GRINYA?

Kathy Barthelt 0 180297 Article rating: No rating

One common GRINYA issue would be incorrectly entered Integration Setups.

Check the Baan/LN manual for recommended Integration setups. If such a mistake were to occur, it is important to know for what period of time the Integration was in error.

It is recommended that the Integrations Setup tables be audited either through Baan or Database Auditing. Corrections can be quickly calculated when an exact timeframe can be determined.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Actual Versus Standard

Anthony Etzel 0 51691 Article rating: No rating

Job costing based on standards is great, but what if reality doesn’t match up to that?

What if jobs are really taking twice as long, and you don’t know that? What if jobs are taking ½ as long as you think, but you’re scheduling based on how much time they “should” take? Either way, you’re losing money and productivity. Getting a handle on start/stop times for jobs, and therefore the total amount of time actually spent allows you to take proper action and be more productive.

Infor LN & Baan Tip: Remove Posted Payment/Direct Debit Batches

The functionality of session Remove Posted payment batches tfcmg1259m000 and Remove posted Direct Debit batches tfcmg4259m000 is explained below:

1.These 2 sessions can be used to removed already posted payment/direct debit batches that have been processed through CMG Module. After the batches are changed to removed status they can be deleted also.

2. Only a superuser, defined in the Payment Authorizations (tfcmg1100m000) can delete the payment/direct debit batch.

3. A payment/direct debit batch once removed cannot be retrieved. The data gets removed only from payment advice tfcmg1609m000/direct debit batch tfcmg4609m000 and composed payments/direct debits.

4. The details of the invoices that were selected in the removed payment/direct debit batch can be seen in session anticipated payment/receipt tfcmg2504m000 and from here you go into the anticipated document details to see the list of invoices selected.

5. Remove payment batches does not impact the check master and the check details remain in the check master. 

6. The anticipated receipt/payment document can be reconciled as usual following the receipt/payment reconciliation process.

7. The anticipated payment/receipt document details are not removed from GLD and ACR sessions or tables and can be seen in document history and ACP/ACR open entries.

8. The direct debit batch number can be retrieved from session tfacr6500m000(receipt related document). And the payment advice batch number can be retrieved from payment-related document tfacp6500m000 or the check master if the payment has been done through checks.
