Supplier Claim Lines (tscmm2110m000)

Use this session to maintain the actual claim line details about what is claimed to the supplier and what is reimbursed from the supplier. In this session actual claimed details for a specific cost type are stored. You can approve or reject each claim line separately. This session allows you to maintain information for material or cost approved for reimbursement. In case claim is rejected, this session allows you to maintain the rejection reason and rejection text .

Integration with Infor LN Quality

LN allows you to link non-conformance report to service objects, using the Link Non-Conformance Report option on the Action menu. The Non-Conformance Reports (qmncm1100m000) session is invoked, wherein you can link the report for the service object.

You can use the Unlink Non-Conformance Report option on the Action menu to unlink the Non-Conformance report. The Related Orders - Quality Management (tsmdm4500m100) session is invoked, wherein you can select the report to be unlinked.

Note: 

These non-conformance report options are visible only if the Non-Conformance Reports check box is selected in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session.

You can link a non-conformance report to a claim (line) only if the Item (serialized) and the Business Partner combination of the non-conformance report matches with the Item (serialized) and the Pay Business Partner (specified on the claim header) combination of a claim line.

If the Item (serialized) on the claim (line) is not defined, ERP LN considers the Item (serialized) on the header, to filter the NCRs. Effectively, the claim lines can only be linked to NCRs if the Item (serialized) and Pay Business Partner combination of the claim header matches with that of the NCR.

If the serialized item or the business partner is modified for a claim (line), the NCRs are unlinked.
