Here are some pros/cons to consider for a Multi Finance / Multi Logistic setup. Pros/Cons of Multi Finance / Multi Logistic Company Set-Up Pros Each legal entity can have its own general ledger and balance sheet. Income statements can be generated for the different logistics companies. Accounting user must go in and out of companies if there is a need to view or create transactions in more than one company. However, if all companies are tied to the same financial group company, centralized payments, cash receipt application, and display and printing of ledger transactions and trial balances are possible for both companies from within the financial group company. Cons A more complex structure to set up and maintain. Care must be taken in the set up of integration transactions, sales offices, purchase offices, etc. to insure that financial transactions are posted to the correct financial company. Decentralized operations – purchasing, sales, manufacturing, planning, warehousing, etc. Previous Article BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Understanding What Goes On Out On The Factory Floor – Part 4 Next Article BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Changing the Master Schedule Print 84230 Rate this article: No rating Kathy BartheltKathy Barthelt Other posts by Kathy Barthelt Contact author Facebook page Twitter Linked In YouTube Website

10Jun2025 Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Override Warning in Invoice Entry PO Costing Tuesday, June 10, 2025 Read more Improves control over PO costing changes during invoice entry by replacing passive warnings with an intentional override action. In ACP500D3 (Invoice Entry PO Costing), users previously could unintentionally accept changes by pressing ENTER, even when quantity to cost or amount to cost values had changed. A new “F14 to Override” warning message replaces the old message: “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.” This ensures users acknowledge and confirm significant changes explicitly. New System Parameter: “Apply GRN Costing Tolerance for PO Costing” (optional): Within tolerance: Displays the original message — “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.” Outside tolerance: Triggers the new override requirement — “F14 to Override” Benefits: Enhances oversight and reduces unintentional cost acceptance. Enables better control of PO costs when invoice details differ from expectations. Read more
