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.

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.

In Baan IV, inventory valuation is done by standard costs, unless you use projects. If you use projects, it is based on estimated or actual costs.

In Baan V and LN, you have the choice of LIFO, FIFO and MAUC (Moving Average).

Eliminate paper

Are you tired of dealing with mountains of shop paper? Do your workers need a single, electronic, real-time source for all production-related documentation? Join us as we discuss how you can increase accuracy, boost productivity, eliminate paper, and save money with a Manufacturing Execution System (Crossroads MES).

This webinar will highlight how to deliver a built-in workflow that streamlines the information flow to and from the shop floor. With a simple touch of the screen, MES collects and delivers the critical information you need to run your production operation. Fully integrated with your Infor LX system, MES can help manufacturers modernize and automate:

• Supervisor/manager real-time shift review
• Scheduling shop orders by shift or by day
• Splitting orders
• Capturing shop floor activity
• Capturing indirect and downtime activities
• Production reporting
