Medius AP Automation and Infor LN CloudSuite: the Antaras connector

Medius announced a partnership with Antaras to offer a pre-packaged connector linking Medius AP Automation to Infor LN CloudSuite for touchless invoice processing. Antaras is described as an Infor Gold Channel Partner. Medius is a cloud AP product, so this suits CloudSuite deployments better than fully air-gapped ones.

How Medius + Antaras connector for Infor LN CloudSuite connects to Infor LN CloudSuite

Pre-packaged connector built by Antaras

The announcement describes a ready-made connector rather than a custom build. Confirm with Antaras and Medius which LN CloudSuite releases it supports and which objects it reads and writes.

Master data sync and invoice posting

In AP automation connectors generally, suppliers, POs, receipts and accounts sync from the ERP, and approved invoices post back. The exact scope of this connector should come from the vendors, not be assumed.

Setting it up

  1. 1Get the connector scope in writingAsk Antaras for supported objects, versions and what is not covered.
  2. 2Clean supplier master dataRemove duplicates and fix tax numbers before sync, because matching depends on them.
  3. 3Map accounting dimensionsAlign LN GL accounts, cost centers and projects with Medius coding screens.
  4. 4Define matching rulesChoose two-way or three-way match tolerances per supplier group.
  5. 5Design approval workflowsSet limits and delegates; keep them consistent with LN authorizations.
  6. 6Test posting in a non-production tenantPost invoices with and without POs, credit notes and foreign currency.
  7. 7Go live by supplier waveStart with high-volume suppliers and widen as exception rates drop.

What usually breaks

  • !Supplier master duplicates causing the wrong supplier match.
  • !PO receipts posted late in LN, so three-way match fails even though goods arrived.
  • !Tax code mapping that works for domestic invoices but not intra-community or import invoices.
  • !Approvals that differ between Medius and LN, so a person is blocked in one system.
  • !Credit notes and partial invoices handled as exceptions by default.
  • !Treating 'touchless' as a promise; it is a rate that rises as data and rules improve.

A private AI layer across both systems

Exception explanation

A private assistant reads a stuck invoice, the LN PO and receipt, and states which line or field blocks the match for the clerk.

Supplier data hygiene

It finds probable duplicate suppliers and missing tax data in LN before they cause match failures.

Spend questions

AP managers ask plain-language questions about invoice backlog and aging, answered read-only from both systems.

Receipt chasing drafts

It drafts a message to the warehouse about missing receipts for approval before sending.

When something else fits better

  • Use a different AP product with an Infor-documented connector if you prefer another vendor.
  • Use EDI invoices from key suppliers, which avoids capture altogether.
  • Use manual entry with LN's own approval flow if volumes are low.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Medius connector for LN official?

It was announced as a pre-packaged connector from Antaras, described as an Infor Gold Channel Partner, linking Medius AP Automation to LN CloudSuite. Confirm current supported versions and scope with them.

Will it work with on-prem LN?

The announcement refers to LN CloudSuite. If you run on-prem LN, ask Antaras directly whether and how the connector applies, since Medius itself is a cloud service.

What does touchless mean?

Invoices are captured, matched and posted without human handling when data and tolerances line up. Expect a share of invoices to still need review, especially early on.

Who maintains it?

A pre-packaged connector is maintained by its builder, but you still own master data, mapping and approvals. Plan testing with each LN update.
