Purchase Control

New and changed functionality

• Add contract lines to active purchase contracts
  In Infor LN SP1, you cannot enter new contract lines if the contract header status is set to Active in the Purchase Contracts (tdpur3100m000) session. The contract header must be deactivated first before you can enter new contract lines. In Infor LN FP2, you can enter new contract lines in the Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000) session for purchase contracts with the Free and Active status.
• Consider purchase contracts when generating purchase orders
  The new Consider Purchase Contracts when generating Purchase Orders field is introduced in the Purchase Contract Parameters (tdpur0100m300) session. With this field, you can define whether you want to default purchase contract header fields to purchase orders that are generated automatically.
• Currency from buy-from business partner
  The new Currency from Buy-from BP field is introduced in the Convert Requisition Lines to RFQ/PO (tdpur2201m000) session. With this field, you can define whether you want to use the currency of the business partner or the requisition's currency when the requisition is converted into a purchase order.
• Delete planned inventory transactions for deleted quotations
  In Infor LN SP1, if returned quotations are not processed into a purchase order or purchase contract, the planned inventory transactions remain unchanged and cannot be deleted until the RFQ return date is expired. To delete the planned inventory transactions for a quotation that must be deleted, the new Delete Quotations marked as 'Delete' check box is introduced in the Convert Quotations to Contracts/Orders/Price Books (tdpur1202m000) session of Infor LN FP2.
• Purchase order entry

  The Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4100m900) session, which was introduced in Infor LN SP1 for easy entry of purchase orders and purchase order lines, has resulted in the expiration of the following sessions in Infor LN FP2:

  • Purchase Orders (tdpur4500m000)
  • Purchase Order (tdpur4100s000)
  • Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4501m000)
  • Purchase Order - Line (tdpur4101s000)
  • Purchase Order Line - Details (tdpur4501m200)
  • Purchase Order Line Details (tdpur4101s200)

  In Infor LN FP2, you can use the following sessions to view, enter, and maintain purchase orders, purchase order lines, and purchase order line details:

  • Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4100m900)
  • Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000)
  • Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4101m000)
  • Purchase Order Line Details (tdpur4101m200)
• Receipt address different from the warehouse address
  In Infor LN SP1, a purchase schedule's and purchase order's receipt address can differ from the warehouse address. This can, for example, be necessary for items that require inspection before they are put away and issued.

  As a result, the defaulting logic for retrieving the receipt address in the following sessions has changed in Infor LN FP2:

  • Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000)
  • Purchase Order Line Details (tdpur4101m200)
  • Purchase Contract Lines (tdpur3101m000)
  • Buy-from BP - Quotation (tdpur1106s000)
  • Purchase Releases (tdpur3120m000)

  If the warehouse has dock (receipt) locations, which you can define in the Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000) session, LN checks whether an address is defined for the relevant receipt location. If yes, this receipt address is displayed by default. Otherwise, the warehouse address is displayed.
