BPCS / LX

BPCS / LX is an Infor ERP system. Manufacturers of all sizes in more than 50 countries rely on Infor LX, formerly known as BPCS, to support every phase of their process and discrete manufacturing business processes. A complete ERP system, Infor LX has extensive features for supply chain, manufacturing, and finance operations. The most recent version, Infor LX 8.4 (available on-premises or in the Infor Cloud), is a cutting-edge, agile enterprise-level application constructed on the reliable and expandable IBM i® platform.

Since 1992 we have been helping organisations who use BPCS / LX to achieve spectacular levels of automation in Cash Application, Accounts Payable, Bank Reconciliation, Deductions and Collections Management. Being a business partner with SSA since 1994 and later SSA Global and finally in 2010 signing a global partnership with Infor ensures our product always stays current and relevant to the BPCS / LX system. Enjoy a deeper, fuller, more accurate, real time picture of your cash situation.

Cashbook is a proven LX-compatible solution, that’s easily tailored to your unique needs, is quick to implement, works globally, works with all major banks, supports 50+ languages and is easy to use. A proven technology from a highly specialist provider that’s driving significant progress and value for companies in 25+ countries.

Cashbook maps or copies BPCS / LX customer data from the Customer Ledger, Receipts Header File, A/R Check Details file, Customer Master, Address Book Master, Address By Date, Currency Codes and Currency Exchange Rates. Cashbook imports Bank Lockboxes and Bank Statements (BAI, MT940 and customer remittance sources such as HTML, TXT, EDI, PDF or Excel). With these two data sets in Cashbook, our flexible matching algorithms are used. Users can review the auto-matching and complete the posting back to BPCS / LX using standard BPCS / LX interfaces developed in partnership with Infor.

Cashbook is working with clients with 100,000+ customers. We utilize an OCR or Digitization tool to “read” remittances. This solution utilizes machine learning to digitize scanned remittances from bank lockboxes without the need for specific customer templates.

For emails we read every type of email and link the data back to the bank statement. With some of our customers receiving 500 emails per day this is a solution built for high-volumes common in both B2B and B2C marketplaces.

Cashbook extracts the general ledger transactions specifically from the bank account control of BPCS / LX. We effectively replace the functionality of BPCS / LX and clients use Cashbook instead. Having a specific tool for bank reconciliation that is ERP and bank independent ensures greater control and more flexibility. Having invoice level detail in the general ledger means transaction volumes are enormous so Cashbook has built an incredibly powerful matching tool.

Our Collections Management tool links directly with AR invoice data in real-time for AR collections automation. One central hub to log and store all notes, calls, letters, emails and see lockbox images. Giving collectors a clearer picture of the account with real-time information in one place – a dream for any collector.

Cashbook adapts deduction management to any bank file or remittance format and route deductions for speedy review and approvals. We create reason and deduction codes directly from remittance data, regardless of ERP. Any deductions on an outstanding invoice can be assigned to the deductions team for immediate investigation. Automate the deductions process and start recovering substantial revenue that is usually lost in the deductions process.

Pay your invoices in your ERP system and then have Cashbook automatically create the necessary banking payment files. With AP automation there is a full approval process for all payment batches with secure vendor bank account management for added security. Featuring deep ERP integration, Cashbook facilitates the AP sub-ledger and general ledger postings and includes all the payment formats from our Electronic Payments module. You can transmit payment information to vendors, such as checks, in various remittance formats like email or PDF. With accounts payable automation software, you have a single solution for all payments no matter what ERP, bank, or currency you are using.

We’re working with 30+ enterprises who use BPCS, from a variety of industries such as Consumer Goods, Construction Products, Plastics and Equipment Manufacturing. Some, who operate multiple ERP’s, enjoy the added benefits of Cashbook’s cross platform ERP integration. Examples of our BPCS clients include: Shaklee, Formica, Essentra, Makita.
