Sales Control

This topic describes the differences between the Sales Control module in Infor LN SP1 and in Infor LN FP2 that are not already discussed in other Differences topics.

New and changed functionality

  • Add contract lines to active sales contracts
    In Infor LN SP1, you cannot enter new contract lines if the contract header status is set to Active in the Sales Contracts (tdsls3100s000) 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 Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3101s000) session for sales contracts with the Free and Active status.
  • Configuration date UEF
    The new Configuration Date (UEF) field is introduced in the Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000) session. With this field, you can define the date on which an effectivity unit must be configured for a sales order/quotation.
  • Default for sales order quantity
    The value of the Minimum Order Quantity field in the Item - Sales (tdisa0101s000) session is defaulted to the Ordered Quantity field of the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session. In Infor LN FP2, the Minimum Order Quantity is by default set to one in the Item - Sales (tdisa0101s000) and Item - Sales Defaults (tdisa0102s000) sessions.
  • Mutli-site group box on sales order delivery line
    A Multi-Site group box is added to the Sales Order Delivery Lines (tdsls4101m100) session.

    This group box contains the following fields:

  • Order blocking for sales collect orders
    In Infor LN SP1, you cannot use the order blocking functionality for sales collect orders. In Infor LN FP2, the order blocking functionality is enabled for sales collect orders. As a result, you can now define the Block As of Activity field in the Sales Order Types (tdsls0194s000) session for collect orders.
  • Print quotation (lines) based on status
    In Infor LN SP1, you cannot print a selection of quotation (lines) based on their status.

    As a result, in Infor LN FP2, the selection range for printing sales quotation (lines) is extended with a Quotation Status range in the following sessions:

    • Print Sales Quotations Overview (tdsls1419m000)
    • Print Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1420m000)
    As a result of this new range, the Include Cancellations check box is removed from these sessions.
  • Sales order header status in sales order overview session
    The Status field is added to the Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000) overview session. As a result, the Blocked and Cncld check boxes have become redundant and are removed.
  • Sales quotation line history
    To view sales quotation line history, the Sales Quotation Line History (tdsls1551m000) session is introduced in Infor LN FP2. You can start this session from the appropriate menu of the Sales Quotation History (tdsls1550m000) session.
