Kathy Barthelt / Tuesday, December 6, 2016 / Categories: Infor LN & Baan Tips Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Financial Year End – Have you done all you need to do? I'm reposting this checklist for things to consider in order to finish out the current year, and plan for next year… Are your accounting records up to date so you can make a projection of how the current year will turn out? Are all account reconciliations up to date to facilitate the closing of the books after year end? Are there accounts receivable that should be reserved for or written off prior to the end of the year? If your business carries inventory, do you need to plan a physical count as of the end of the year? Has depreciation on your fixed assets been recorded during the year? Have you considered depreciation on current year additions? Have all new asset purchases and bank loans been recorded on your books? Are there any liabilities, for example, pending legal actions or warranty issues, which will need to be recorded prior to year end? Do you have a plan in place to properly “cut-off” revenue at year-end to properly match revenue and expense? Will there be bonuses, profit sharing contributions or discretionary retirement plan contributions paid prior to the end of the year? How will these payments affect cash flow? Will you be in compliance with your bank covenants at year end? Do you need to make arrangements to receive statements as of the end of the year for cash value of life insurance, loan balances, etc.?

Maybe the answer is adding redundancy in the department where you are experiencing the problem. A duplicate machine setup can allow for double the capacity during high production periods. It can also eliminate the need to swap out tools or other materials due to different production runs. When breakdowns occur, equipment can be swapped out to keep production moving while repairs are being made. Planning for this keeps production levels high. Optimize Your Manufacturing Today!

Users can get item availability and updated pricing before placing the order.
