| Check project code in item code |  |
| An item code in ERP LN can consist of a project segment and an item segment. If no PCS project is present for an item, which means that the item is not customized, the project segment of the item code is empty. ERP LN then considers the item code as consisting of nine spaces, followed by the name in the item segment. External applications, however, usually do not recognize an item code consisting of an project segment and an item segment, or an item code that is preceded by nine spaces. As a result, the project segment of an item code that is transferred from ERP LN to an external application, is not recognized as such by the external application, and becomes part of the item name. New in Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP3 In Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP3, if you select the Check Project Code in Item Code. check box in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session, and you add a new item code or project code in ERP LN, a few checks are performed: If you define an item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session, the first nine characters of the item name should not equal aan existing project code in ERP LN. If you define a project code in the General Projects (tcmcs0552m000) details session, the code should not equal the first characters of an existing item code in ERP LN. Selecting the Check Project Code in Item Code. check box decreases software performance significantly. Instead, you can clear the check box, and use the Print Items where a Project Code is part of the Item Code (tcibd0401m100) session to check whether a range of existing item codes or project codes will produce conflicts for external applications. |
