Infor LN & Baan Tip: Separate item codes for incoming & outgoing subassemblies

You may be wondering if it's necessary to have separate item codes for incoming and outgoing subassemblies.

No, it is not necessary to have separate item codes for incoming and outgoing subassemblies, but it is recommended. In theory, you could have only one item code with the description subassembly and use the same item code for the outgoing subassembly and for the incoming subassembly. However, when monitoring inventory movements and financial integration transactions, it will be difficult to understand the process. Also, the costing logic is much clearer when different item codes for the incoming and outgoing subassemblies are used. Because of this, it is advised to use a different item code for the outgoing subassembly and a different item code for the incoming subassembly.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

From a recent article published by M4B Marketing:

When analyzing your sales performance consider the following: 

  • Pricing changes eg. price increases or discounting
  • Competitors – competitors entering or exiting the market
  • New product or service launch growing sales
  • New product or service cannibalizing existing product or service sales
  • Customers moving between products or services
  • Changes in customer demand eg. increasing or decreasing
  • The segments and distribution channels you operate in

Two big sources of inefficiencies in manufacturing are paper and spreadsheets. I know that you love ‘em, but they are the cause of more problems than you probably realize. Think of how long it takes you to get paper-based data into the hands of those who can do something valuable with the data.
 
  • Is the information captured correctly?
  • Can everyone access the information?
  • Is this an accurate representation of what’s going on across all operations?

Make your shop floor paperless and put systems in place that talk to one another and automatically pull and push data to and from your ERP so that you can look in one place for all the information you need to run your business effectively.

If you’re not doing this today, you might as well be burning money.
