2026 is HERE: Is your Baan/LN strategy ready for the "2030 Countdown"?

Kathy Barthelt 0 712 Article rating: 5.0

The calendar has turned to 2026, and for Infor Baan and LN users, the roadmap ahead is more critical than ever. As we move closer to the end-of-decade legacy milestones, the status quo is no longer a viable strategy for your mission-critical operations.

As you kick off the new year, ask yourself:

  • Does our legacy setup align with our 2026-2030 growth targets?

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Blocking Operations

Kathy Barthelt 0 1662 Article rating: 5.0

Note: The Blocked Operations (tisfc0540m000) session displays the blocked operations.

Introduction

Sometimes a problem occurs that must be solved before an operation proceeds. Examples of such situations are:

  • The quality of an intermediate product must first be inspected.
  • A machine is in repair.
  • A supplier cannot deliver an essential component in time.
  • A customer is late with its payments.

In these situations the operation can get the operation status Blocked.

An operation can be blocked:

  • Manually.
  • Automatically by Quality.

Blocking reasons

Every blocked operation must have a blocking reason. The blocking reason of a blocked operation has two purposes:

  • To indicate why the operation is blocked.
  • To determine which actions you can no longer perform on the operation.

Types of blocking

The following actions can be blocked by means of a blocking reason:

  • Reporting a quantity completed.
  • Reporting a quantity rejected.
  • Reporting a quantity to be inspected.
  • Reporting an operation completed.

You normally carry out these actions in the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session.

You can define blocking reasons in the Blocking Reasons (tisfc2100m000) session.

Manual blocking

Use the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session to block an operation. When you block an operation, you must also enter a blocking reason. If Quality has already blocked the operation, you can only enter a blocking reason, which is more restrictive than the blocking reason of Quality.
