Streamline Your Shipping Processes – Boost Efficiency and Reduce Errors

with RMCship

Are you manually entering shipping data between your Baan or Infor LN system and UPS/FedEx? If so, you’re likely facing challenges with efficiency, accuracy, and wasted time on redundant tasks. We understand these pain points and want to introduce a solution to transform your workflow: RMCship.

According to a recent report by The Manufacturer and IBM, 92% of manufacturers are prioritizing efficiency. However, the manual entry of shipment details—like transportation mode, weight, and tracking numbers—into logistics systems, only to re-enter data back into Baan and Infor LN, is a major bottleneck. This process not only consumes valuable time but also increases the risk of costly errors and delays in shipping and invoicing.

Here’s how RMCship can help:

  • Eliminate Redundant Data Entry: RMCship integrates seamlessly with Baan IV, Baan V, and Infor LN to automatically send shipment details to UPS and FedEx. Once the shipment is prepared, tracking data, freight costs, and other pertinent information are automatically updated with your ERP.

  • Save Valuable Time: By automating data transfer, RMCship can rescue between 1.5 to 2.5 hours per day, 30-50 hours a month.

  • Reduce Errors and Shipping Delays: RMCship removes manual entry, reducing errors and ensuring shipping and invoicing happen promptly. Faster invoicing means improved cash flow and better customer satisfaction.

  • Access Real-Time Shipping Information: With instant updates on shipping details, your customer service team can access real-time information to enhance customer communication.

Why RMCship?

RMCship offers a complete integration solution for Baan and Infor LN systems, enabling you to streamline your shipping processes from start to finish. With on-premise and cloud deployment options, RMCship adapts to your needs, whether you're handling single, partial, or multiple order shipments per carton or pallet.

Don’t let inefficiencies hold you back. Automate your shipping workflow with RMCship, and see the difference in operational speed, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.

Understanding: What Was Issued to the Shop Order

The shop order inquiry program provides several function keys. By using the function key for the material, the display will present what components have been issued under the issued quantity column. You are also presented with the required quantity. While viewing the quantities you may see that more was issued than what was required. Possibly there was scrap and more material was required to be issued. Perhaps there was an over issue and the balance of the material is slated to be returned to stock.

A red flag should go up if the Shop Order quantity finished is equal to the required quantity for the end item and all the components have not been issued. You may want to investigate why.

Understanding: The quantities required, finished and remaining at the operation and in total for the Shop Order

The shop order may require 1,000 pieces but only 950 are reported as finished in total for the shop order. The quantity required is what is planned on the SO and it may be a higher number than what is finished, factoring in that there can be scrap. If a 1,000 pieces are required to be produced, and there is always is scrap of 10 pieces, then plan for scheduling a quantity of 1,010.

The quantity finished for the end item is what is reported in the inventory application with a production order receipt transaction. At the operation level, if the quantity is reported at the operation, there will be a value in the PCS Complete field on the operation detail screen showing the pieces completed through that operation.

If you want to get a handle on the difference between the required quantity and the finished quantity, you may want to look into reporting quantities at the operation level as well as examining how scrap is controlled and reported.
