Shipment Creation with System Link

Question:

Article:

Shipment Creation with System Link

Hello,

For a long time, we used to use Offline Shipping to proceed our Shipment from our mobile solution (through a call 'AMVOWXFR' ran on the server) . it works fine, but today , we would like to improve / modernize that shipment process and doing it with system-link.
There are some different ways to ship in XA :
- Order entry + Immediate shipment (COM - 1 - 3)
- Pick list + Confirmation (COM - 1 + 2 + 9)
- Direct shipment creation from an order ( Read more...COM - 1- 11- 8)

Has anyone already used System-link to create shipment from outside XA ?
If yes i would be really interested in 😀

i currently use 9.2.2.3 XA releases for my XA environement.
Thank you
Christophe

How do you handle Time zones across Environments?

Question:

Article:

How do you handle Time zones across Environments?

I raised an Enhancement Request with Infor to have time zone configurable by Environment. Ideally it would be configurable at the warehouse level, but I could understand how that could cause other headaches. How does your business handle the time only being set at the LPAR level when you have multiple environments? Right now, we just have to have everyone all over the world look at EST and do the math.

Here is the link to my ER if you would like to add a vote.  Read more... https://mingle-portal.us2.prd3.inforcloudsuite.com/v2/CONCIERGE_PRD/?LogicalId=lid://infor.cxp.1&Tab=ERS&ERId=115698 Show less...

Has anyone heard if they are going to add a option to create a subset from the filter row settings? So after going through and setting all your filters you don't have to then go create a subset separately and do all the selections again.

Hi All,
A recent client update has changed the defaults for filter rows in NetLink. For the last two years it has had text fields defaulted to use contains as it's operator. I have submitted an enhancement request to allow for user preferences on the default operators for filter rows. Please vote for ER111340 if you agree.
Thanks, and see y'all at inPower 2024!

Announcement

[Infor Special Announcement] Effective June 1, 2024, MK & Associates is merging with Cistech, Inc. These are two INFOR XA Business Partners who have worked with XA for decades. THIS CREATES A DEDICATED, LONG-TERM, and STRATEGICALLY ALIGNED ORGANIZATION FOR INFOR XA CUSTOMERS.

This merger will provide added resources and expertise for MKA and Cistech customers. For decades, both MKA and Cistech have been focused on Infor XA and solutions for XA. This merger provides long-term  Read more...stability and long-term support for customers. All MKA employees will remain an integral part of this new company.

The Cistech name will be used. The combined resources of Cistech and MKA deliver:

· A focus on customer service and employees

· Dedication to and commitment to XA, Infor, and IBM systems

· A stronger set of skilled resources and proven applications

· More proven experience and references with XA customers

· Hands-on management with an emphasis on customer service

This merger forms a company with 30 people, all of them with at least 10 years of Infor XA experience.

MKA has worked with XA (or the former MAPICS product) since the late 1970’s. They have deep expertise in the automotive and other manufacturing industries. Cistech has long been 100% focused on Infor XA and XA customers. They bring an additional 8 Senior XA Business Consultants and 10 Senior Technical Consultants who provide services to XA customers. Cistech also has extensive IBM System i experience as an IBM business partner. They have worked with XA for over 25 years as a MAPICS and Infor XA Business Partner. Like MKA, Cistech management and employees have strong customer relationships and stay involved with customers and projects. Cistech provided services to over 70 XA customers worldwide in the past two years and they’ve done several implementations of XA Enterprise Financials, which are the strategic financial applications for XA: Enterprise GL, AP, AR, and Cash.

Over many years, MKA and Cistech have developed meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships with their Infor XA customers. Cistech’s mission is to continue providing outstanding service, support, and integrated applications to meet the business needs of Infor XA customers. This merger provides continuity, additional resources, and a commitment to long-term support. Show less...

Hi. I posted the first in a series of Infor CPQ blogs with the message Unleashing the Power of CPQ for Manufacturing - I am inviting you to follow and read the full blog here: https://ibmi.workoutloud.com/Blog/infor-cpq.

A snippet from that post:
Manufacturing is the core of the business; everyone depends on them to deliver quality products to customers. Configure-Price-Quote has been serving these users  Read more...for decades. But when orders are received and are not complete or has an error that causes issues with the manufacturing process that has several impacts that will cause a ripple effect. Delaying production time, wasting materials, delaying deliver time to customer, increasing costs, and more.

Where is the problem?

1. Was there a communication breakdown between sales and the customer?
2. Was product/engineering data challenging to access or understand, leading to incorrect sales selections?
3. Was it an error in the Excel spreadsheet that did not catch the original configuration?
4. Other? Show less...

Delete order Once At Status 15 Using System Link
Jerry Forss XA User Group

Question:

Article:

Delete order Once At Status 15 Using System Link

In my first attempt using System Link I create Shipping Invoices.
I was successful in creating the CO at status 15 so it is prepped to be invoiced.

However, sometimes accounting does not verify everything before proceeding to the creation. I want to be able to delete the Shipping Invoice using System Link before it is actually processed.

My Delete Order System Link request works when the CO is at status 00. This is just a CO that is created and deleted before  Read more...any more processing is done.

Can I get guidance on how to proceed.

Thanks!!
