Segment reporting

Infor LN 10.3

Sales and purchase invoices are posted as a single total amount to a control account.

Infor LN 10.4

For the purpose of segment reporting, the segment accounting functionality is extended: based on the order lines and cost lines, amounts are split into multiple amounts per invoice. Partial payments (for example, invoice line #1 for segment A), can now be matched with the appropriate segment and invoice line.

As a result, in Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, you can:

  • Have a segment distribution under each control account.
  • Track open entries by segment.

When a partial payment is done by a customer, the payment can either be prorated automatically, or distributed across segments manually. As a result, true segment accounting can be performed on the control accounts.

Customers who do not require segment accounting will not be bothered with additional configuration settings and dialog boxes.

Segment distribution sessions

  • To view open entries by segment:

  • To manually specify distribution across segments:

    • Segment Distribution (tfcmg2106s200)
