Sales releases

Infor LN FP5

In Infor LN FP5, the following are applicable to sales releases:

  • Sales releases are received by EDI and automatically converted to sales schedules.
  • The sales release sessions contain little information and you cannot update them.
  • The EDI logic rejects a complete release if one of the release lines, representing a schedule header, contains an error. Due to a single error in one schedule, multiple schedules are rejected and the demand is not visible until that error is corrected and the erroneous data is reprocessed. In addition, EDI error handling is inadequate because serious errors can only be detected in a very late stage in the process.
New in Infor LN FP6

In Infor LN FP6, the following are applicable to sales releases:

  • Sales releases can be received by EDI, but can also be manually entered, or received by a Business Object Document (BOD).
  • You can automatically or manually convert sales releases to sales schedules and you can update them before conversion.
  • Various new sales release sessions are developed and existing sessions are adapted.
  • If EDI conversion of an item fails, the release is not rejected but must be handled in the release session. Therefore, the cumbersome EDI error handling is no longer needed for item related errors.
  • You can manually create a new release type, called Pick-up Sheet.
