Integration updates

Infor d/EPM

The integration between LN CE and Infor d/EPM has been extended with d/EPM Consolidation.

d/EPM Consolidation supports these features:

  • Creation of consolidated group financial statements for internal and external audiences.
  • Creation of cash flow statements.
  • Reporting on entity and group level, including audit trail.
  • Segmentation usage.
  • Specification of ownership structures.
  • Conversion of currencies using closing, average, and historical rates.
  • Mapping of local chart of accounts to group chart of accounts.
  • Reconciliation of intercompany balances.
  • Creation of automatic and manual elimination journals.

Infor d/EPM also provides status monitoring and user guidance.

In the Linked Object field of the Dimension Type Descriptions (tfgld0102m000) session, a dimension type can now be set to Used for Intercompany. This setting is used in Infor d/EPM to determine which data in an entity is related to another entity. Existing LN CE master data sessions can be used to populate this Used for Intercompany dimension type with the correct intercompany, or intergroup company number.

In LN CE, you can specify a taxonomy for d/EPM, which is used to populate the group chart of accounts in Infor d/EPM.

To populate the average or end-of-month rates in Infor d/EPM, dedicated currency rate types and rates can be specified in LN CE.

The existing data flow through Data Lake is used to transfer the required LN CE data to Infor d/EPM.

Infor Document Capture

Ephesoft version 2020.1.02 (single-tenant cloud) has been validated to work with LN CE.

Customers are not affected, because the sample batch class in KB article 2000198 is not used for customer implementations.

After upgrading to Ephesoft 2020.01, testers and pre-sales consultants must perform one of these tasks:

  • Download the new Ephesoft batch class from KB 2000198 and import it in Ephesoft. Use this batch class instead of the previous batch class.
  • Modify the existing batch class in your Ephesoft instance and move some non-hidden index fields, such as Accounting Entity and Group Accounting Entity to the Vendor Details tab.
