MAPICS / XA

Infor XA, formerly known as MAPICS (Manufacturing, Accounting, and Production Information Control Systems), is commercial ERP software used to manage the operations of manufacturing companies. MAPICS / XA covers various types of manufacturing, including engineer-to-order, project or contract manufacturing, configure-to-order, make-to-order, make-to-stock, repetitive schedules, and high-volume repetitive manufacturing. It provides deep functionality and flexibility, making it a comprehensive ERP system for discrete manufacturing. With features like advanced planning, scheduling, and analytics, Infor XA helps manufacturers optimize operations, improve efficiency, and deliver superior customer service.

We have been helping organisations who use this ERP to achieve spectacular levels of automation since 2004. Our team is well versed on the MAPICS / XA environment to offer our solution to companies that use this ERP system to manage their business. Cashbook has been an Infor solution partner since 2010, and has proven MAPICS / XA compatible software solutions for AM, IFM and EGLi financials. We have worked with multiple organizations from a variety of different industries, operating in over 25 countries worldwide.

Automate your XA financials with trusted, tailored software from cashflow specialists. We help businesses achieve incredible levels of automation in Cash Application, Accounts Payable, Bank Reconciliation, Deductions and Collections Management.

Cashbook is unquestionably a proven MAPICS / XA compatible solution that’s easily tailored to your company’s needs and requirements. It’s quick to implement, works globally, works with all major banks, supports 50+ languages and most importantly it is easy to use.

Cashbook maps or copies MAPICS / XA 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 MAPICS / XA using standard MAPICS / XA 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 the ERP. We effectively replace the functionality of MAPICS / XA 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. Therefore, with accounts payable automation software, you have a single solution for all payments no matter what ERP, bank, or currency you are using.

For companies that operate multiple ERP’s, they appreciate the added benefits of Cashbook’s cross platform integration.
