It is also used to set annual depreciation limits for listed assets. Under U.S. Federal tax laws, the passenger automobile property type is limited in the amount of depreciation that can be annually taken. Calculating Depreciation for Listed Assets Under the Depreciation Limits tab for the personal use code annual depreciation limits can be defined for an asset. The listed asset's annual depreciation is calculated twice: One time using the asset's designated depreciation calculation method One time using the specified depreciation limit The lower of these two annual depreciation values is selected by the asset accounting solution as the annual depreciation for the listed asset. If the depreciation limit for a personal use code is used as the annual depreciation for any of the years that an asset is in service, the asset's basis is not fully depreciated by the end of the asset's standard life. In this case, you can give the asset a new life span called a recovery period. The recovery period can use the asset to continue depreciating until the asset's basis reaches zero. .</s>

<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Asset Accounting fund accounting? [/INST] Asset Accounting fund accounting When a finance enterprise group implements fund accounting, a Fund Override check box will be displayed on the asset form. When selected, the Funds tab is displayed. You can create a record for each fund contributing to the assets purchase by specifying the contribution percentage for each fund. These percentages are used to allocate transactions created for the asset to each fund. If Fund Override is not selected, the fund allocation can be specified at the asset item level. You can specify the contribution percentage of multiple funds for each item in the Funds panel. These item level specifications are aggregated up to the asset level. Upon release, the contribution percentage of each fund is used to allocate the related transactions to each fund of the asset. The entire asset cost must be allocated prior to release whether allocating at the asset or asset item level. The existing asset account and dimension group definitions are used to create the transactions. When an asset is subject to fund allocations these transactions are allocated using a calculation as it is released. The calculation multiplies the transaction amount of each transaction by the contribution percentage of each fund to identify the portion of the transaction to be posted to that fund. This amount is then assigned to a copy of the original transaction with that fund appended to the transactions code block. If neither asset nor item allocations are assigned, the transactions will be processed without additional allocations. When fund accounting is enabled, the fund dimension is required by the default code block so the resulting transactions will post 100% to the fund specified in the default dimension group. The interface processes from project and procurement systems create and update the fund allocations based on the fund assigned to the transaction. The transaction is then pushed into the asset system. Project capitalization is driven by selecting GLTransactionDetail records and using them to identify the value of a resulting asset. Each transaction may contain a different fund. The transactions related to each fund are grouped to identify the contribution percentage. The asset level allocation is automatically created as the asset and asset item are created. You can enable fund accounting by running the Turn On Fund Accounting action for the finance enterprise group. Asset Fund Control The Asset Fund Control is a single form located on the Asset System Setup menu. This will be created automatically when Fund Accounting is enabled for the Finance Enterprise Group. The Fund Dimension will automatically be selected through a check box as it is created. If you have already implemented fund accounting, you must manually create this record. You must also select the identified fund dimension in the finance enterprise group. Other dimensions may be added but when a dimension is selected it cannot be unselected, nor can the Asset Fund Control record be deleted. If the finance enterprise group is changed to disable fund accounting, the existing fund allocations will no longer be performed, but if the funds are assigned to assets, the asset fund control record will be retained. This will allow the fund accounting flag to be again turned on to restart the fund allocation processing. All transaction types will be displayed and a check box for each will allow the user to select those transactions to be allocated. No transactions will be selected initially so these must be considered when creating this record and even if the control record is created automatically, it must be updated so that the allocation is performed for the selected transaction types. Note: If an additional dimension is selected in the Asset Fund Control, that dimension will appear as available in the fund allocation but will not impact existing fund allocations. If the fund allocation is changed to add a value to the new dimension, it will be incorporated in the allocation going forward. These are the new lists incorporating the new dimensions: AssetFund AssetItemFund AssetImportFund AssetItemImportFund AssetInterfaceFund .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Pricing setup? [/INST] Pricing setup Before you can set up pricing for your company, you must set up your billing company. You must set up item prices for your billing process. You can set up varying item prices based on criteria such as the customer who places the order, the order date, and the order quantity. .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Default pricing hierarchy? [/INST] Default pricing hierarchy The default pricing hierarchy is a structure used in Billing to determine the item price for the customer. The pricing hierarchy is set up according to price lists. The default pricing hierarchy consists of a series of levels that determine the final price for an item. This table shows the order that is used to determine the final price. Price Override Contract by Item Contract by Sales Class Contract Level Promotion by Item Promotion by Level Price List by Item Price List by Sales Class Price List You search for prices from the top down. For example, if you specify an override price on the order, then that becomes the sell price. If you do not specify an override price, then the hierarchy looks for a contract at the item level, and so on. When a pricing percent is found, it is multiplied by the price base to get the final price for an item. .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Amalgamated pricing? [/INST] Amalgamated pricing Amalgamated pricing is a pricing option that you can use to provide quantity break pricing across multiple order lines. Quantity break pricing provides discounts based on the order totals of a particular item. Amalgamated pricing is used to group separate order lines with similar items to offer a quantity break price on items that are priced independently. For example, an office supplier sells ball point pens in three colors: red, blue, and black. Each color is independently priced on a separate order line. The office supplier offers a 15% discount on pen purchases of 30 boxes or more. Normally, the customer must buy 30 boxes of one color to receive the discount. If the office supplier groups the pens as amalgamated, then the customer can purchase 10 boxes of blue, 10 boxes of red, and 10 boxes of black and still receive the discount. If you use amalgamated pricing, then order or invoice entry requires a special group pricing action code. .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Location-based pricing? [/INST] Location-based pricing Location-based pricing is used to define item prices at the company or location level. Using this pricing method, you can define a different price base for the same item at different inventory locations. Each inventory location has a different price base name. When you change a price base for an item at one location, the change does not affect the price base at other locations. Use this method when the company has many inventory locations. You can vary prices for an item based on the location from which it is shipped. When you select this option during company setup, you must specify a location for each base price. .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Pricing using multiple units of measure? [/INST] Pricing using multiple units of measure Your company can price the same inventory item in different units of measure. For example, soft drinks are priced by case, by 6-pack, and by each. The price base for each unit of measure (UOM) is as follows: Pricing unit of measure Price base Case $9.60 6-pack $3.00 Each $0.75 A customer orders 32 cans. Because the price is different for each unit of measure, one line is displayed on the order. The pricing Drill Around shows three units of measure for pricing. Pricing unit of measure Price base One case $9.60 One 6-pack $3.00 Two each $1.50 The invoice order total is $14.10. To define units of measure for an item, see the Inventory Control User Guide. .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Pricing using multiple currencies? [/INST] Pricing using multiple currencies Multiple currency pricing is controlled by the way in which you set up the billing company. When you price items in multiple currencies and your company is set up that way, you have several options. If you do not want to price in multiple currencies, all of your pricing setup happens in the base currency for the company. The only requirement is a conversion from one currency to another based on the base currency for the customer. If you choose to price in multiple currencies, your pricing definition requires certain pricing parameters, or price bases, that are stored in different currencies. Currency-based pricing If your company uses multiple currency pricing, then you can use the currency-based pricing method. Currency-based pricing is used to price an item according to the currency in which the customer orders. Because the price is based on the currency exchange rate, the price is subject to exchange rate fluctuations. You assign a price base to each currency in which customers can order their items. To calculate the customer price, you must decide whether to calculate the price base in your base currency or in the order currency. You must make this decision at the company level. To calculate the customer price in the order currency, you must select currency-based pricing. These examples show how your multiple currency pricing decisions and the currency-based pricing method affect the outcome of your pricing strategy: Example Multiple Currency field Currency-based pricing field 1 No No 2 Yes Yes 3 Yes No Example 1 You and your customers share the same currency. No multiple currency issues or requirements exist. Example 2 Your company has clients in the United States, France, and Germany. You process invoices in other currencies. Dollars and Euros have unique price bases assigned to them. This situation implies that at least some of the items that you sell are stocked in warehouses in different countries. It also implies that the sell price of these items is based on your cost in the local currency. In this situation, you must establish base prices for these items in multiple currencies. Item Price base name Price base Price list FR-44PE US Dollar $10.00 90% EURO EUR 10.00 90% A customer in France orders 10 FR-44PE items. The pricing details are: Price base that is assigned for francs is EUR 10 for each FR-44PE item. Order total is 100 Euro (10 * EUR 10). Price list for this customer is a 10 percent discount off of the base. So the final price that is printed on the invoice is 90 Euro (EUR 100 * 90 percent). The price is converted from Euro to your base currency before sending transaction data to the global ledger. Example 3 You process invoices in multiple currencies but do not want currency-based pricing. Several clients are based in other countries. Prices do not vary based on the market. Because prices are stable, do not define a base for each currency that is used. A French customer orders 10 FR-44PE items. The currency that is assigned to this customer is Euro, so the order total is $100.00 (10 * $10.00). The price is calculated in your base currency and does not convert it to Euro until the order is created or items are re-priced. Then the base currency total is multiplied by the currency exchange rate and the total is printed in Euro on the invoice. The base currency amount is stored and transaction data is sent to Global Ledger. .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Broken case charge? [/INST] Broken case charge A broken case charge is an add on charge that you can assign to price modifiers. You can use broken case charges when the customer orders an item quantity where multiple units of measure are required for pricing. The charges apply to items with more than one pricing unit of measure. If you know that your prices already include broken case charges, then do not add these charges to the invoice. The price that is charged to a customer is the same amount, regardless of the unit of measure that is used at order entry. For example, a customer orders 39 cans of soda pop. You price soda pop by case, by 12-pack, and by each: Pricing unit of measure Price Case (24-pack) $10.00 12-pack $5.50 Each $0.50 The are broken case charge for this customer is $10.00. The table shows the pricing for the orders: Order quantity Pricing for each UOM Final price 1 case (24) $10.00 $10.00 1 12-pack $5.50 $5.50 3 each $0.50 $1.50 You can determine whether a customer gets a broken case charge when you set up the customer's ship to information in Billing. The order total is $17.00. The broken case charge of $10.00 is printed on the invoice and is added to the order line. .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Sell price unit of measure? [/INST] Sell price unit of measure A sell price unit of measure (UOM) is the UOM that you use to price items. You can have multiple sell price UOMs for any inventory item. You are not required to establish a base price for each valid unit of measure. If you specify a UOM other than the default, then you must provide a base price for that UOM. An item can have a different Sell Quantity UOM than Sell Price UOM. When calculating the price for the item, the quantity is converted to the smallest UOM available using any valid sell price UOM conversion process. Sell Price UOM Example A company sells soft drinks in cases, six-packs, and individual cans (each). UOM Price Case 9.60 Six-pack 3.00 Each.75 A customer orders 39 cans. The ordered quantity is calculated to determine that the quantity fills 1 case, 2 six-packs, and 3 each. If the quantity on the invoice requires multiple units of measure to be shipped, then the line may be eligible for a broken case charge. You can assign broken case charges to price lists, promotions, and contracts. For information about setting up customer eligibility for broken case charges, see the Receivables User Guide. .</s>
<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Price base? [/INST] Price base A price base is the starting price for an item and the base from which you build your pricing structure. For example, you use the price base of an item to calculate price markups or discounts for that item. You can derive the price base from the manufacturer's suggested retail price, your list price, or your item cost. You must assign each item to at least one price base. Depending on the flexibility requirements in your pricing structure, the same item can belong to more than one price base. Each price base must have a unique name, as shown in this example. Item Price base name Price base FR-44PE COST $23.75 LIST $35.00 CAT $30.00 You can update price bases using worksheets. Worksheets can be used for mass price base updates. .</s>

<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Price base modifier? [/INST] Price base modifier A price base modifier is a generic term that refers to a set of pricing parameters that adjusts or overrides a price base.

<s>[INST] In the context of INFOR Docs, tell me about Price lists? [/INST] Price lists A price list is a price base modifier that contains pricing parameters that you define for items. In general, a price list points to a specific price base. You can optionally set up parameters for a price list that modify the price base to create a sell price. You can use the same price list for one or many customers. You must assign at least one default price list to each customer. You can also assign a second price list to the ship to location for each customer. The ship-to price list overrides the default price list for a customer. When you set up price lists, you determine the complexity of the pricing structure by the parameters that you specify. For example, you can specify that the sell price of items is 90% of the base price. For pricing structures that are complex, you can specify parameters that determine the sell price of the item by item sales class or by individual item. You can also set up multiple price lists for the same group of items. .</s>

See Global Ledger setup to create this setup: Project chart hierarchy: a simplified chart of accounts for reporting and budgeting. Project Ledger : for project-specific transactions. Project reporting basis for reporting and budgeting. We recommend creating one or more project reporting bases for reporting. A project reporting basis is required for project budgets and project report settings. The reporting basis defines the structures included in the budget. Structures include accounting units, accounts, projects, and account categories. If you do not include accounting unit or account in your budget dimensions or budget edit, the structures are still used. The structures are used to define the parameters for which accounting units and accounts are used. The accounting units and accounts are used for defining commitments, encumbrances, and actuals when calculating total obligations. For example, you can create a project chart hierarchy that does not include an undistributed retained earnings account. The project chart is then assigned to the reporting basis, which limits the accounts returned on the project reports. We recommend creating a project chart of accounts containing project accounts. A chart of accounts can include expense, revenue, billed/unearned accrual, earned/unbilled accrual, and work in progress asset. The structure is similar to the account category structure. Receivables setup Before using Project Invoicing and Revenue or Grant Accounting , you must complete Receivables setup. Project funding by external customers or grants requires a customer to be set up for the Receivables company. These fields are required in order to create contracts in Project Ledger : Receivable Company , including the Projects tab information Receivable Customer Receivable Process Level Accounts Receivable Code Project funding Project funding is set up using Finance Dimension 2, or user dimension, setup. For Project Invoicing and Revenue or Grant Accounting , select Project Invoicing on the Options tab of the finance enterprise group. You are required to use Finance Dimension 2 to set up the project funding structure. Finance Dimension 2, project funding, is used in conjunction with Project Ledger to maintain the project funding sources. Project funding sources are customers and grantors. Note: Users do not see any links or menu items for project funding in project setup until a dimension structure is created. Dimension structures are created in the finance enterprise group. The project contract billing method is set at the project contract level. The billing method can be overridden at the posting project level and at the account or user dimension level. You can specify the Billing Override Level on the Options tab of the finance enterprise group. Contract billing rules including billing method, markup percent, tax status, and revenue account or revenue account category are defined at the project contract. If no overrides exist, these billing rules are used by all billable posting projects and expenditures under the contract: Project contract bill method Markup percent Bill rate Tax status Revenue account or revenue account category You can override billing rules and revenue accounts or revenue account category at the posting project level. Fields include billing method, markup percent, revenue account or revenue account category, revenue finance structure, tax status, and tax code. The override is used to calculate billable amounts, tax amounts, and journal postings for the posting projects. All other posting projects and expenditures use the parameters assigned to the project contract or project funding source if these conditions are met: They are designated as billable and eligible for the project funding source. They do not have overrides defined. You can override billing rules and revenue accounts or revenue account category at a project cost account level. Override fields include billing method, markup percent, revenue account or revenue account category, revenue finance structure, tax status, and tax code. The override is used to calculate billable amounts, tax amounts, and journal postings for that posting project and dimension combination. The billing override key field is dependent on the billing override dimension defined on the finance enterprise group. See Creating project funding hierarchies. Project hierarchy A project represents a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service. For example, a capital, billable, grant, or internal project. Projects are temporary in nature with a begin and end date. Projects have an operational or work breakdown structure. For example, project, phase, and task. Projects have employees including employee assignments and person responsible. Projects are defined in a parent-child hierarchy within a project structure. You can set up multiple project structures. One project structure must be designated as an enterprise structure. The enterprise structure defines project dates, person responsible, budget ID, and billing information. The enterprise structure is the default project structure on reporting bases. Note: On the finance enterprise group, you can rename the default label, Project, to a label that reflects the structure that you use, for example, Activity. For the purpose of this guide, we use the default label of Project. If you change the name on the finance enterprise group, the name is changed on all the related forms. Each project hierarchy is contained in a project structure. Your project can include an indefinite number of levels of projects in a parent-child structure. You can define a project contract at any summary level of the enterprise structure if Project Invoicing is selected on the finance enterprise group. A level represents a layer in an project's hierarchy. For example, a project hierarchy might include three levels: project, phase, and task. Project is a parent of phase, which is a parent of task. Each level is part of, or reports up into, the level above it. Each project must have a unique name, which can be up to 25 alphanumeric characters. You cannot change a project name after you define it. You use projects to further define your project hierarchy. By defining projects at different levels, you build a structure that resembles the breakdown of your project work structure or operational view of projects. You define two types of projects: Posting projects are used to post journal entries. Posting projects are the lowest child projects in any branch of the project structure. You cannot define additional child projects below a posting project. Posting projects use the project code specified in the finance structure when creating journal entries. Summary projects are used to summarize the activity of child projects for consolidation and reporting. .</s>

Up to five dimensions from the finance enterprise group and the employee record can be used to establish rates. The dimension order must be numbered in the order that it is used to perform the calculations. We recommend that you not include the project dimension when defining the rate table setup. The project dimension is associated with the project contract and posting projects. The assumption is that the rates in the table that is assigned to the contract are valid for all posting projects in the project contract. If rates vary by posting project, then unique rate tables are assigned at the posting project override level. When using the a billing method of Rate Table , the billing rate table is assigned to the project contract. The billing rate table can be overridden at each posting project and billing override. The rate table is used when the Generate Invoice action is run to process transactions that include units and the rate table dimensions. If a transaction does not have units or does not match a rate table line, then the transaction is processed using the Cost Reimbursement billing method. Transactions that are ineligible for billing using the billing rate table can be excluded from processing. You can use a custom group on the project funding source to exclude the ineligible transactions when invoices are generated. .</s>
