Browse to approved items In Infor LN 10, if you zoom to the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) or Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) sessions to select an item, all items are displayed. In Infor LN 10.2.1, the Approved Parts command was added to the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) and Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) sessions. For the business partner on the purchase document that started these sessions, this command shows only approved items for selection. The Approved Parts command is available in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) and Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) sessions when you zoom on the Item field from these sessions: Purchase Requisition Lines (tdpur2502m000) Prepare Conversion Purchase Requisition Lines (tdpur2502m100) Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) When you click the Approved Parts command, these items are displayed for the business partner: Items for which the Check Approved Source List check box is selected in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session and the business partner is approved in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

Items for which the Check Approved Source List check box is cleared. When you click the All Parts command, all items are displayed. Delivery based renamed to receipt based In Infor LN 10, purchase schedule types can be shipment based or delivery based. These types are used to calculate the dates and times when you pick up the goods from the ship-from business partner's warehouse (shipment based) or when you want the goods to be delivered to your warehouse by the business partner (delivery based). In Infor LN 10.2.1, delivery based was renamed to Receipt Based. Editable grid for purchase receipts In Infor LN 10, you can update purchase receipts only in the details mode of the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session. In Infor LN 10.2.1, the grid of the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) overview session is now editable. For example, you can change the Received Quantity in the overview session. Frozen period calculations In Infor LN 10, when calculating frozen periods for purchase schedule lines, calendar days were always used. In Infor LN 10.2.1, the Use Working Days for Frozen Period check box was added to the Purchase Contract Line Logistic Data (tdpur3102m000) and Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) sessions. If this check box is selected, working days are used when calculating frozen periods. If this check box is selected, calendar days are used. In Infor LN 10, for Shipment Based schedules, schedule lines can be created when the planned shipment date is inside and the planned receipt date outside the frozen period. Schedule quantities can be modified even when the planned shipment date is inside the frozen period. In Infor LN 10.2.1, if the purchase schedule is Shipment Based, frozen time limits are based on planned shipment dates. Schedule lines cannot be created or updated when the planned shipment date is inside the frozen period. Purchase schedule price changes Infor LN 10 If a purchase schedule is linked to a contract, the price and discounts for the scheduled item cannot be recalculated during receipt. If a contract's price and discount change during the lead time of the purchase schedule line, the amount of the received goods does not reflect the actual contract price information. You cannot link a price book or discount schedule to a purchase contract with a scheduled item. Therefore, quantity based pricing is not applicable for purchase schedules. Infor LN 10.2.1 The following purchase schedule price changes were made: To redetermine the price and discounts during receipt for a purchase schedule that is linked to a contract, the Redetermine Price and Discounts at Receipt check box was added to the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session. You can link a price book or discount schedule to a purchase contract with a scheduled item and you can also use the Cumulative Price Break check box in the Purchase Contract Price Revisions (tdpur3103m000) session for scheduled items. If a purchase schedule is linked to a contract but no valid price and discount can be retrieved from the contract, LN will continue searching for a price and discounts in other sources by using the normal searching logic.
