LSP platform

Supplementary update KB

For multitenant customers, the supplementary update Resolved Issues will be replaced by updates on our supplementary update KB 2203744.

The About screen has been changed to show additional information.

LSP homepage and grey bar configuration

The new homepage and grey bar are designed to improve navigation, especially when dealing with multiple accounting entities and services.

The format of the grey area is comprised of these options:
Home
The homepage shows all the services you are authorized to for a given accounting entity.
Inquiries
The general inquiries, which were previously shown on the grey bar are now presented as cards for a given accounting entity.
Settings
The maintenance options, formerly under Settings > Maintenance are now displayed as cards:
  • Each service has a single card containing all forms pertinent to the service.
  • Forms, such as Contact Master, which contains the same information for one or more services is only shown once.
Administration
This group of functions, formerly under Settings > Subscription Preferences and Settings > Administration, can be used for set-up of the services and contains these options:
  • A new Accounting Entity Maintenance option.

    See Infor Localization Services Platform Configuration and Administration Guide for details.

  • A new User Authorisation option.

    See Infor Localization Services Platform Configuration and Administration Guide for details.

  • All Connectivity forms in one group.
  • System of record, formerly Subscription Preference, launches a white space, presenting further forms.
  • Timed Jobs.
Utilities
This group of functions, formerly under Settings > Administration, are focused on the day to day running of LSP, rather than the one-off set-up items.

Accounting Entity Maintenance

As part of our strategy to simplify the setup and configuration of subscriptions now known as services, a new Accounting Entity Maintenance form located in the grey bar under Administration is now available. You can use this new form to perform these functions:
  • Set up new Accounting Entities.
  • Maintain company details rather than in Contact Master.
  • View company Contact Identification and Classification rather than in the Contact Master.
  • Maintain reporting entities, where applicable.
  • Select services for the Accounting Entity or country.
  • Set your Accounting Entity to ACTIVE once all base Master File data such as Financial Calendar, Accounting Chart and, Chart Of Accounts has been received.
    Note: The AccountingChart BOD is now mandatory for all Statutory Auditing services.
The introduction of this form has also necessitated these changes:
  • The Accounting Entity BOD is no longer supported.

    Remove this BOD from your ERP - LSP document flow if it has been set up.

  • Existing Accounting Entities are automatically marked as Active and are not affected by this change.

    However, if you found active accounting entities that are not required, create an incident in Infor Support Portal and we will have these deactivated.

  • The services for selection are based on the services your ERP has adopted as part of the accreditation progress and on your user authority.
  • The services names have changed to reflect the documented function. We have also standardized the electronic sales invoicing services to be eInvoicing.
  • The New Subscription and Amend Subscription forms have been deprecated.
  • Contact Master is no longer used to Maintain Company data (Position = Company).

User Authorisation

The ability to authorize Ming.le users to a given service is now treated independently from the service setup and is located in the grey bar under Administration. You can use this form to see all Ming.le users with LSP roles and authorize them to the services you have set up.

Update script for unprocessed BODs

In 2021.07, we removed support for the Process.SecurityRoleMaster in LSP.

Therefore, the ION Doc Flow should be modified to remove this BOD. If this is not performed, the Mongoose Framework will continuously try to process the BOD, while LSP will ignore it. Thus, leaving a permanent disconnect between the products.

Roles

Old LSP Roles such as LCLLSP-Admin, LCLLSP-User, and LCLLSP-GDPR have been deprecated.

All forms use the new roles that were introduced in 2021.04. See Infor Localization Services Platform Configuration and Administration Guide for details.
Note: The old roles will be fully deprecated in a future major release.

Contact Master

Holding Company position is now available.

If your AE and contacts (position Company) are in different addresses, then you will need to set the holding company here. For example, if your head office is in the Netherlands but the service is for Poland, then the Polish address should be held against the Accounting Entity and the Netherlands address should be help in Contact Master (position Holding Company).
