| # General Ledger This topic describes the differences between the General Ledger module in Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP2 and in Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP3 that are not already discussed in other Differences topics. New and changed functionality Source of earnings To provide a better view on the total profit for the year you can link a Source of Earnings category to each Profit and Loss account. The Profit and Loss accounts are individually cleared against the interim account defined for the Source of Earnings category. For details, refer to Source of earnings. View ledger account or dimension structure In the Dimensions (tfgld0510m000) and Chart of Accounts (tfgld0508m000) sessions, on the Specific menu, you can click View Tree to display a graphical view of the ledger or dimension structure. If you select a ledger account or dimension, ERP LN displays the structure of the ledger account or dimension. Else, ERP LN displays all ledger accounts or dimensions. Empty dimension code For every dimension type, you can define one dimension with an empty dimension code. If the dimension type is Optional for a ledger account, ERP LN posts transactions for which no dimension is specified to this dimension. In this way, differences between the ledger history and the dimension history can be avoided. Payment Method Mandatory In the Company Parameters (tfgld0103s000) session, you can select the new Payment Method Mandatory check box. If this check box is selected, a payment method must be available on every invoice header or, if a payment schedule is linked to the invoice, for every payment schedule line. If payment methods are mandatory and no payment method is available for an invoice or for a payment schedule line, ERP LN blocks processing of the invoice. ERP LN prints the payment method on sales orders, purchase orders, service orders, and the related invoices. For various reports, you can select the data based on the payment methods and ERP LN prints the total balances on the report by payment method. Integration transactions In Infor ERP LN 6.1 FP3, the PCS calculation office is no longer available as an integration element for integration transactions. As a result, the integration transactions for standard items and customized items are now the same, except that to customized items, a project is linked. Finalize systen batches In the Global Selection of Batches for Finalization (tfgld1210m000) session, the Only System Batches check box was added. If this check box is selected, ERP LN only finalizes generated, non-modifiable, batches. Batches that were manually created and that the users can still modify are not finalized. Batches that were manually created by the users are not finalized. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN finalizes all the batches. To exclude manually created batches that have not been completed from the finalization process, you can select this check box. Portuguese reports In Portugal, you must submit a number of legal reports to the authorities when you close the fiscal year. A number of new sessions was added which you can use to set up and print the reports. For details, refer to Portuguese reports - overview |
