Sales Control (PUR)

This topic describes the differences between the Sales Control module in Infor LN FP5 and in Infor LN FP6 that are not already discussed in other Differences topics.

Delivery point

To specify the business partner's delivery point at which you must deliver the items, in Infor LN FP6, the new field Delivery Point is added to the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) and Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) sessions.

Planned requirements

Based on the planned and firm requirements on sales schedules, available-to-promise quantities are updated. In Infor LN FP5, the Linear Estimate and Accumulate Demand On Start Date Of The Period check boxes in the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session determine how the update takes place.

In Infor LN FP6, this functionality can be (partially) taken care of by an external component or by LN.

To correctly update ATP quantities, the following parameters are added to the Sales Contract Line Logistic Data (tdsls3102m000) session:

Sales schedule actual delivery line COGS

To view the actual cost of goods sold (COGS) information for sales schedules, the Sales Schedule Invoice Line COGS (tdsls3549m000) session is introduced in Infor LN FP6.

Sales schedule invoice lines

In Infor LN FP5, invoicing of shipped items takes place based on the shipment details that are specified in the Schedule Shipment Details/Corrections (tdsls3140m000) or Schedule Shipment Details/Corrections (tdsls3140m100) sessions. You can also use these sessions to make shipment corrections. You can start the Release Sales Orders/Schedules to Invoicing (tdsls4247m000) session from these sessions.

In Infor LN FP6, you can invoice and correct delivered quantities in the new Sales Schedule Invoice Lines (tdsls3140m200) session. Sales schedule invoice lines are only available if deliveries are executed for a sales schedule line, which you can view in the renamed Sales Schedule Actual Delivery Lines (tdsls3140m000) or Sales Schedule Actual Delivery Lines (tdsls3140m100) sessions.
