GL code and ledger account entry

Infor LN FP3

In Infor LN FP3, during order line entry or requisition line entry, you can enter a GL code to which financial transactions are posted for cost items and service items.

GL codes enable non-financial users to easily enter financial data. GL codes minimize erroneous registration of ledger accounts and dimensions during order line or requisition line entry.

Infor LN FP4

In several companies, the number of dimension combinations can be enormous. As a result, the financial department must enter many GL codes before they can be selected by non-financial users.

To avoid entering GL codes up-front by the financial department, ledger accounts and dimensions are (re)introduced on the purchase order line and purchase requisition line. In Infor LN FP4, a company can now choose for their non-financial users to either enter a GL code or a ledger account and dimensions on the order line or requisition line.

As a result, the following is new in Infor LN FP4:

  • Use GL Codes for Ledger Account Entry parameter
    The Use GL Codes for Ledger Account Entry parameter is added to the Purchase Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session.

    This parameter determines whether you can enter one of the following on the order line and requisition line:

    • A GL code.
    • A ledger account and dimensions.
  • Ledger account and dimensions fields
    If the Use GL Codes for Ledger Account Entry check box is cleared in the Purchase Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session, you cannot enter a GL code on the order line and requisition line.

    However, the following new fields can be filled:

Note

This new functionality is also made available in a later version of Infor LN FP2 and Infor LN FP3.
