Infor LN Localization: Multi-Language and Country-Specific Configuration
Infor LN serves global manufacturers operating across multiple countries, languages, and regulatory environments. LN's localization framework includes country-specific legislative modules, multi-language UI support, multi-currency processing, and configurable tax engines. Properly configuring these localization layers is critical for compliance and user adoption in international deployments.
Multi-Language UI Configuration
LN supports multiple UI languages simultaneously, allowing each user to work in their preferred language while sharing the same data and business processes. Language support is managed through the LN label translation framework where form labels, menu items, and system messages are stored as translatable text objects. Language packs are delivered by Infor and can be extended with custom translations.
- Configure user language preferences in session ttaad1100s000 with fallback to site default language
- Install Infor-delivered language packs through the VRC package manager for supported languages
- Translate custom labels and messages using session ttadv8520m000 for organization-specific terminology
- Support for right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew) with LN Web UI layout mirroring capabilities
- Multi-language document output: configure report labels per language for invoices, POs, and shipping documents
Country-Specific Legislative Modules
LN includes country-specific modules that handle localized tax calculations, legal reporting, electronic invoicing, and regulatory compliance. These modules are activated per company in LN's multi-company environment, allowing a single LN instance to support subsidiaries in different countries with different legislative requirements. Each country module adds sessions, tables, and business rules specific to that jurisdiction.
- Activate country modules via session tccom0500m000 selecting applicable localizations per LN company
- Tax engines: support for GST (India), VAT (EU), IVA (Latin America), and consumption tax (Japan) with country-specific rules
- Electronic invoicing: country-mandated e-invoicing formats including PEPPOL, Factura-e, NFe, and GST e-Invoice
- Statutory reporting: country-specific financial reports, Intrastat, SAF-T, and SII compliance outputs
- Banking and payment: country-specific payment formats including SEPA, BACS, ACH, and local clearing systems
Multi-Currency and Global Financial Configuration
Global LN deployments require multi-currency support at the transaction, company, and consolidation levels. LN handles currency conversion through configurable exchange rate tables with support for spot rates, fixed rates, and triangulation through intermediate currencies. Proper multi-currency configuration prevents financial reporting errors and audit findings in international operations.
- Configure exchange rate types in session tcmcs0108m000 for daily rates, budget rates, and historical rates
- Enable triangulation through a common currency (typically EUR or USD) for cross-currency conversions
- Set up automatic rate feeds from external providers using LN's exchange rate import sessions
- Configure currency rounding rules per country to comply with local legal tender requirements
- Implement intercompany pricing in multiple currencies with proper transfer pricing documentation support
