  • Determine whether an item - purchase business partner combination is valid or not. However, the standard configuration can be overruled by exceptions.
  • Retrieve valid business partners to return them to Enterprise Planning during the approved business partner selection process of order planning. During this process, Enterprise Planning communicates the effectivity unit from the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session or the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session to Purchase Control (PUR). PUR then uses this check box to determine which purchase business partners are valid for the item and can be returned to Enterprise Planning .
  • Check the validity of the item - purchase business partner combination when you manually insert a purchase order line to which an effectivity unit is linked in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session.
  • By default, Infor LN selects this check box if no exceptions are attached to this item - purchase business partner combination. However, you can manually select or clear this check box..
Exceptions present

If this check box is selected, the item - purchase business partner combination has exceptions attached that can overrule the standard configuration settings.

Note: 

This check box is used to:

The percentage by which the received quantity can be less than the ordered quantity. This value is defaulted from the Quantity Tolerance (-) field in the Item - Purchase session.

LN consider the Quantity Tolerance (-) to determine the default value of the Minimum Quantity Tolerance field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session. This is calculated as follows:

Minimum Quantity Tolerance = 100 - Quantity Tolerance (-)
Quantity Tolerance (-) = 10%
Minimum Quantity Tolerance = 100% - 10% = 90%

In this case you do not accept receipts with a quantity less than 180.

Note: This tolerance is used only for pull call-off schedules.

Quantity Tolerance (+)

The percentage that the received quantity is allowed to be more than the ordered quantity. This value is defaulted from the Quantity Tolerance (+) field of the Item - Purchase session.

LN consider the Quantity Tolerance (+) to determine the default value of the Maximum Quantity Tolerance field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session as follows:

Max. Quantity Tolerance = 100 + Quantity Tolerance (+)
Quantity Tolerance (-) = 10%
Minimum Quantity Tolerance = 100% + 10% = 110%
Ordered quantity 200

In this case you do not accept receipts with a quantity over 220.

Note: 

For push schedules, the tolerated over-receipt quantity is calculated as follows:

  • If blanket warehouse orders are used, the ordered quantity of the entire schedule is used for the calculation.
  • If receipts are made in Purchase Control , the ordered quantity of the schedule line yet to be received, is used for the calculation.

The receipt quantity that exceeds the ordered quantity is added to the last schedule line.

Transportation Time (Days)

The transportation time in days.

LN retrieves the transportation time as follows:

  • If Freight is implemented, which you can define in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session, calculation of the transportation time is based on carrier, and routes. Route plans and service levels are not known at this point in time.

    LN performs the following steps to retrieve the transportation time.

    1. If the route, the carrier, the origin, and the destination addresses are known, LN first searches for route plans and then for standard routes with matching routes, carriers, and addresses.
    2. If more than one matching route plan or standard route is found, LN selects the route plan or standard route with a transport means group that matches the transport means group of the carrier.
    3. If LN still finds more than one route plan or standard route, route plans have priority over standard routes. If only standard routes are found, the standard route is selected following the settings of the Carrier/LSP Selection Criterion parameter in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session.
    4. If LN still finds more than one route plan, it selects the first one it encounters in the database.
  • If Freight is not implemented, LN takes the transportation time between the ship-from business partner's address and the receiving warehouse's address, based on a relevant distance table (if available) in the Distance Table by City (tccom4137s000) session or in the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4138s000) session. From which of these two sessions the transportation time is retrieved, depends on the value of the Usage Distance Tables field in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session.

  • Infor LN uses the calculated lead time to determine the planned receipt date. Infor LN uses this calculation when the date for which the lead time is calculated, falls outside the lead time horizon. Planned dates are calculated using the value from the Calculated Lead Time (Days) field, which is retrieved from the company's calendar.
  • Infor LN determines the planned receipt date, taking into account the calendars that are related to the lead time components. Infor LN uses this calculation when the date for which the lead time is calculated, lies between the current date and the lead time horizon.
