Infor and Made2Flow Launch Dedicated Sustainability Interface for Fashion Industry

Infor announced the availability of a dedicated interface between Made2Flow, a tech company specializing in analysis and validation of environmental data in the fashion industry, and Infor product lifecycle management (PLM). Per the press release, the interface will facilitate processing of data and full visibility for global fashion brands looking to increase transparency of the production supply chain. Most importantly, it will support traceability and impact measurement across tiers one to four. Additionally, the interface between Infor and Made2Flow will automate the necessary data flow and impact calculations. This is done through capturing data from the entire supply chain — from yarn suppliers and fabric companies to garment producers — and Infor’s interface with Made2Flow will facilitate meaningful, real-time insights from which to monitor, measure and analyze key, predefined metrics. Not only will this allow greater visibility of the wider context of the fashion lifecycle, it also will deliver the necessary collaboration to allow continuous measurement to meet targets and communicate effectively and transparently with stakeholders.

Positive Pay File Creation (CB170)

Positive Pay File Creation (CB170) produces a flat file containing bank required payment information for issued, voided and stop paid payment transactions that have been processed since the last run of the CB170 for the cash code and transaction code.

NOTE: The first time the CB170 is run for a cash code, it will only report on open transactions.

The positive pay file is then sent to the bank to be used to confirm checks presented for payment have not been altered.
