Purchasing parameters

Purchasing parameters are related to purchasing and requisitions that must be set for Infor EAM (Oracle Forms) and Infor EAM to work properly.

Set values for purchasing parameters according to the following table. For more information on setting parameter values, see Defining installation parameters.

Code Example Description Fixed 
DEFPOTP
 PS Determines the default line type for purchase orders. Specify a user status equivalent to the system status of PS (Stock Parts) or PD (Direct Purchase) for the PLTP entity. The system automatically defaults the line type of purchase orders to the specified user status.

If DEFPOTP is null or if you enter an invalid value, the system automatically defaults the line type of purchase orders to the system status of PS.

No 
EXRTUPDT
 NO Manual exchange rate update. Setting this parameter to YES will enable users to manually enter exchange rate fields. No 
EXTCHG
 M Include adjusted charges in the base price. This code indicates whether Infor EAM automatically includes adjusted charges, such as a discount or an additional charge, when entering information on the Extra charges/Discounts dialog box. If the value is Y, Infor EAM automatically selects Include for all the items on the Extra charges/Discounts dialog box and does not allow you to unselect it. If the value is N, Infor EAM automatically unselects Include for all the items on the Extra charges/Discounts dialog box and does not allow you to select it. If the value is M, Infor EAM automatically unselects Include for all the items on the Extra charges/Discounts dialog box and enables you to select or unselect it as necessary. No 
INCREDIT
 O Updates part price for stock for credit and debit notes. This code indicates how Infor EAM handles updating part prices for approved credit and debit notes. Valid values are O (Off), P (Partial), orF (Full), with O being the default value. You can change this value.

If the Value is O, Infor EAM does not update part prices upon approval of a credit or debit note.

If the Value is P, Infor EAM applies the credit amount in the calculation of Average Price for a part upon approval of a credit note. When the credit amount is greater than the value of the part in stock, Infor EAM applies a portion of the value of the credit amount, up to the value of the part in stock, in the calculation of the average price. By setting the value to P, the calculation of the average price might result in an average price of 0 for a part, but it also ensures that the average price cannot be less than 0. The remaining value of the credit amount that is not used in the calculation of the average price is stored as a Credit Balance for the part in stock.

If you are using LIFO/FIFO as your pricing method, Infor EAM applies credit amounts similarly to the manner it does if the setting is Pregardless of the setting you specify for this parameter; however, Infor EAM stores the unused credit amount in the IVL_LOSTCREDIT column of the R5INVOICELINES table, rather than storing the credit amount as a Credit Balance for the part in stock.

If the value is F, Infor EAM applies the credit amount in the calculation of Average Price for a part upon approval of a credit note when the credit amount is less than the value of the part in stock. Setting the value to F ensures that the calculation of the average price for a part can never result in a value of 0.

Yes 
INVADAYS
 60 This code indicates the number of days after completion that invoice allocations can be applied to a work order. No 
INVALLOC
 NO Set INVALLOC to YES to track unallocated invoice differences. Set INVALLOC to NO to apply all invoice differences to the stock record. No 
INVDESC
 Invoice Invoice description. Changing the value does not affect existing data. No 
INVMETH
 - This code indicates the default inventory replenishment method to use for maintaining stock levels. Valid values are (M) for Min/Max, (-) for Reorder level, or (+) for On demand. The default setting for this parameter is Reorder level. No 
INVUPCAT
 NO This code indicates whether the supplier’s catalog will be updated upon approval of an invoice. No 
LIMITLEV
 L Limit level. This code indicates if Infor EAM should check the value for orders/requisitions on the header level (H) or line level (L). Changing the value does not affect existing data. No 
MATCHAPP
 NO Automatic approval of matched invoices. This code indicates whether Infor EAM automatically approves invoices for which the cost of all invoice lines has been matched with the cost of the purchase order lines associated with the invoice lines within range of tolerance specified for Match Tolerance Absolute or Match Tolerance % on the Organization form. If the value is set to YES Infor EAM automatically assigns A—Approved status for invoices for which all invoice lines have been matched with associated purchase order lines within the specified range of tolerance. If the value is NO, then all invoices must be manually approved. No 
MATCHTOL
 0 Match tolerance. This code indicates the tolerated difference (in percentage) between the sum of the invoice lines and the amount specified on the invoice header. Valid values are any non-negative numbers. Changing the value does not affect existing data.
Note: The MATCHTOL installation parameter is no longer active for Infor EAM (Oracle Forms) or Infor EAM, because users no longer enter a voucher total. Instead, the voucher total is now calculated based on the total invoice costs.
No 
POCURR
 YES This code indicates whether Infor EAM allows multi-currency order lines. No 
PORDDESC
 Order Purchase order description. Changing the value does not affect existing data. No 
RCPTCURR
 PO This code indicates which exchange rate Infor EAM uses for receipt or return of goods. PO= exchange rate of purchase order; RCPT= the active exchange at time of receipt/return transaction approval. No
