Infor Localization Services

Infor Localization Services offers a set of services and functions that run on a single platform with Infor OS. These services extend the footprint of the core ERP, so that a global localization platform is offered that is updated in response to change.

The set of functions can be classified into these types of proprietary format:

  • Electronic submissions, which are processed in Infor Localization Services Platform (LSP).

    Infor Localization Services Platform (LSP) helps customers meet the local regulatory, statutory, and cultural requirements of a country.

    It is connected to ERPs through standard Infor BODs and uses business knowledge to create submissions. Depending on the type of function, the data can be automatically transformed to proprietary format or prepared for reporting within the service, allowing the user to check and confirm what is sent to the external agency prior to submission. The submission is then tracked and logged for audit purposes, with all responses required by the ERP returned as required.

    The functions in Infor LSP can be categorized into these types of files:

    • e-Auditing provides a set of electronic submissions that allow auditing information to be collated, checked, and sent to the requesting government or accounting organization
    • e-Invoicing provides a set of electronic submissions that are used to create electronic sales invoices that can be sent directly to third parties, such as customers, governments, or government agencies
    • Tax reports
    • Electronic transportation documents
    • Statutory reports
  • Electronic messages (GEMS), which are processed in ION.

    Infor Localization Services GEMS (Global Electronic Messaging Services) is an electronic messaging solution that helps customers meet the local regulatory, statutory, and cultural requirements of a country.

    It is a black box solution within Infor ION that automatically transforms BOD data into a proprietary message without going through the logic of Infor Localization Services Platform (LSP).

    • Banking includes a set of electronic messages that enables supplier payments and direct debits to be created for banks and other financial institutions, such as clearing houses, according to the standard of an organization, government, or financial institution. Bank statements sent by the bank can also be consumed by the ERP for payment matching and reconciliation. messages can be categorized into these file types:
    • Trade statistics provides a set of electronic messages for regulatory reporting of commerce and goods movements across country borders, such as Intrastat and EU Sales Listing for Europe.
