Setting up logical IDs, tenants, accounting entities, and locations

Profile attributes are used to configure the logical IDs, tenants, and accounting entities.

  1. Open the Profile form.
  2. Configure the profile attributes that are used for Optiva integrations with ION.
    Profile Attribute Description
    ION.ACCTINGENTITY Specifies the Accounting Entity for each Optiva database. This profile attribute is used only for Infor ION integrations. For many ERP systems, the Accounting Entity is a critical component of the BOD.

    The default value is your company name.

    ION.COSTMAP.LOC1

    ION.COSTMAP.LOC2

    		Item BODs have costs delineated by location. In Optiva, you can specify Cost parameters for each location. These profile attributes map the two together.

    An incoming ION ItemMaster BOD can update multiple Optiva cost parameters with a single BOD document.

    The default values are COST_LOC1 and COST_LOC2 respectively.

    COST_LOC1 and COST_LOC2 are examples only. Replace these values with the ones that are appropriate for your business environment.

    ION.FROMLOGICALID Specifies the logical ID. This ID is used for the Infor Ming.le Plug-in application, Context Messaging in Optiva, the connection points in the ION desk, and the drill backs in Infor Ming.le.

    The default value is infor.plmprocess.optiva01.

    This profile attribute is defined for each instance (database) of Optiva. If you install more than one instance, then the Logical ID must be unique for each instance.
