Purchase Control

This topic describes the differences between the Purchase Control module in Infor LN FP3 and in Infor LN FP5 that are not already discussed in other Differences topics.

Default order series for the planned deliveries of a delivery contract

In the Generate Purchase Orders (tdpur3204m000) session of Infor LN FP3, you can enter the order series that is used to generate purchase orders for the planned deliveries of a delivery contract.

In Infor LN FP5, the Use Default Order Series field is added to the Generate Purchase Orders (tdpur3204m000) session. You can either choose to enter the Order Series, or select the Use Default Order Series check box.

Invoice information on purchase receipts

In Infor LN FP3, the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session does not contain information about purchase invoices, or purchase order invoicing.

In Infor LN FP5, the Matched Invoices option is added to the appropriate menu of the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session. This command starts the Matched Invoices by Order (tfacp2550m000) session.

Original document type for purchase return orders

In the Original Document Type field of the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session of Infor LN FP3, purchase orders of the Return Rejects type can be linked only to an original Order or an original Schedule. However, purchase orders of the Return Inventory type can also be linked to an original Receipt.

In Infor LN FP5, purchase orders of the Return Rejects type can now also be linked to an original Order Receipt or an original Schedule Receipt. Therefore, the return order line contains the original packing slip number.

Print purchase contract acknowledgement

In Infor LN FP3, no print status is displayed on a printed purchase contract.

In Infor LN FP5, the Final Contracts check box is added to the Print Purchase Contract Acknowledgments (tdpur3405m000) session. This check box affects both the information that is printed on the document, which can be draft, changed, or original, and the Print Status of the purchase contract and purchase contract lines.

Reopen closed purchase orders allowed

In the Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4100m900) session of Infor LN FP3, you can reopen a Closed purchase order by clicking Reopen Closed Purchase Order on the appropriate menu.

In Infor LN FP5, the new Reopen Closed Purchase Orders Allowed parameter in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session determines whether or not you can reopen closed purchase orders. Only if this Reopen Closed Purchase Orders Allowed check box is selected, the Reopen Closed Purchase Order command is available on the appropriate menu of the Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4100m900) session.

Self billing extended

In Infor LN FP5, a Self-Billing group box with self billing fields is added to the following sessions:

  • Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000)
  • Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000)

Defaulting logic

For purchase order lines, self billing fields are now defaulted as follows:

  1. From the Invoicing Terms and Conditions (tctrm1145m000) session.
  2. From the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session.
  3. From the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
  4. From the Buy-from Business Partners (tccom4120s000)/ Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) sessions.
