You can add safety time in the item master for the item. This will add the number of days safety time to the order lead time thus bringing the order in x number of days early. (x is the safety time).

The safety time is on form 4 of the item master in Baan IV and in Item Ordering Data – Generation I tab in Baan V and LN.

In Baan IV, the order balance amount always includes the tax amount. Consequently, the tax amount must be recalculated every time an order line is modified in order to update the balance correctly. If the tax provider is activated, this requires an API call for every re-calculation of tax.

In Infor LN, users can select or clear the new Include Tax in Order Balance check box in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session to indicate whether users want to include tax amounts in the order balance amount. This parameter has an effect on various sessions in Order Management.

Defining the Product Routing first requires the items to be setup in the Item Master file. Other master files also need to be defined prior to creating the routing.
These include:

• The Facility defined with a SYS program
• The Warehouses defined with an INV program
• Locations defined with an INV program
• The Machines (required if using capacity planning or an MES interface) defined with an MDM program

After the above data is set up, the Department file and Work Center files can be setup in MDM. Now you are ready to define a product route.
