Infor LN & Baan Tip: Porting Set Issues

Are you on the latest porting set for your version of Baan or Infor LN?

Here are some issues you might run into if you stay on an old porting set too long:

  • Incompatibility because of operating system patches
  • Printing issues because of out-of-date libraries
  • Potential performance issues if binaries are not updated
  • Updating third-party products may not be possible because of dependencies
  • Limited support from Infor
  • Issues with updating database software/patches because of dependencies (if the database is also running on the same server as the application)


To check the latest porting set available for your version of Baan or Infor LN:

  • For the last Infor LN, Infor Baan5 and Infor Baan4 porting set see KB 22923520
  • For the last BaanIVc 6.1c porting set see KB 22923521 
  • No fixes are made based on the 6.1c porting set, support continues for BaanIVc with the LN porting set, see KB 22923520

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

The challenge in cost accounting is tracking your manufacturing to the levels needed for useful management information. You need feedback for corrective action; but, you need to minimize the cost of collection. Some parts of your operation require specific job-cost tracking while the Just-in-Time areas require

costing in terms of cost per process hour or day. Apply overhead in different ways to different processes and products. Segregate costs into enough detail

to provide management with an accurate picture of the contents of your product. Material, material overhead, labor, fixed overhead, variable overhead, outside processing, outside processing overhead, and so forth all have to be considered.

 

LX meets your cost accounting needs with the following functionality:

â–ª Four sets of costs: actual, standard, frozen standard, and simulated

â–ª Nine user-defined elements per set

â–ª Full and partial cost roll-up and simulation

â–ª Cumulative in-process cost tracking

â–ª Cost summaries by item

â–ª Cost definition tied to work centers or material type

â–ª Process hour costing

For years, repetitive manufacturing industries have been applying many of the principles in Just-in-Time philosophy. They have established balanced production lines that depend on a steady flow of material to each work station. They schedule production in daily or weekly rates rather than in discrete shop order lots. They track finished inventory by work center rather than by job. They typically backflush stock balances (decrement stock balances upon completion of specific manufacturing steps rather than issued at the beginning of each production run).

 

Costing is typically based upon a daily rate or hourly rate rather than being associated with specific shop orders. 

 

Repetitive manufacturers use MRP II software adaptable to their environments

in the following key areas:


â–ª Product definition

â–ª Inventory tracking

â–ª MRP/Master Scheduling

â–ª Shop Floor Control

â–ª Purchasing

â–ª Costing
