Kathy Barthelt / Tuesday, May 19, 2015 0 204 Article rating: No rating

In general, you can enter a different series in the order field if you have an available series.

To add a new series, find the appropriate group in the First Free Number session, and add a new series and first free number (usually 1).

In Baan IV, go to the Maintain First Free Numbers Session (under Common, Tables, Maintain Logistics Tables, Maintenance 1). Groups are easily identified (e.g., Purchase Order, Sales Order, etc.).

In Baan V, go to the First Free Number Session (under Common Data, Tables, Logistics). There are number groups (e.g., 570 may be for Purchase Orders, 650 may be for Sales Orders, etc.).

In LN, go to the First Free Number Session (tcmcs0150m000 – it is in different places in the menu under different Feature Packs). There are number groups (e.g., 210 may be for Purchase Orders, 310 may be for Sales Orders, etc.).

BPCS/LX Tip of the Day: MRP/MPS Simulation

Anthony Etzel / Monday, May 18, 2015 0 786 Article rating: No rating

The system allows you to manipulate and maintain a simulated MPS and MRP. You can copy the simulation from the existing first cut or you can create a totally new schedule. You can also perform a simulation of the rough-cut capacity plan. This allows a quick visual inspection by inquiry or menu of needed work center loads for the proposed MPS. After you choose a suitable MPS and rough-cut capacity, the system allows you to transfer the simulated MPS to the live Master Production Schedule.

Anthony Etzel / Tuesday, May 12, 2015 0 735 Article rating: No rating

The system supports four levels of inventory. You can view summaries of stock at each level through the Material Status Inquiry program or through reports.

Below are the four levels:

▪ Item

▪ Item + warehouse

▪ Item + warehouse + location

▪ Item + warehouse + location + lot

The lot number level and/or container of inventory can cross multiple warehouses and locations. For example, item + lot or item + lot + container. Locations exist within warehouses. There is no limit on the number of warehouses, locations, or lots that you can assign to an item.

Baan/LN Tip of the Day: Transfers - LN

Kathy Barthelt / Tuesday, May 12, 2015 0 2779 Article rating: No rating

A Transfer involves either one or two warehouses. If items are transferred between two different warehouses, all activities of the warehousing procedures must be carried out. However, if a transfer takes place between two locations within the same warehouse, the receipt activities are not carried out. You can use transfer orders to define a replenishment system within a single warehouse. This system controls replenishment from bulk locations to pick locations. Note: LN allows you to modify the outbound order line data based on the value the Allow Updating Outbound Order Lines up to and including field is set to in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

Anthony Etzel / Tuesday, May 5, 2015 0 47071 Article rating: No rating

Four fields in the Item/Warehouse record (IIW file) affect the disposition of the

pallet status.

1. Goods Receiving Code: You define these codes in Goods Receiving Maintenance (WHM130). The codes control whether or not the stock passes through inspection, what percentage, or quantity of a delivery to inspect, and the number of quarantine days, if any.

2. Inspection Zone/Inspection Location: Either the Inspection Zone or the Inspection Location must be entered on the Item/Warehouse Master Maintenance screen WHM150D2-01.
