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.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

In Infor LX, there are two ways to enter indirect labor. You can use either SFC600 or SFC650.
 

  1. If you use SFC600 and enter a reason code for the indirect labor, the reason you entered is written to the Labor Ticket file.
  2. If you use SFC650 and enter a reason code for the indirect, the reason code is not written to the labor Ticket file.

 

In either case, the reason code is not validated from the transaction file because there is no indirect transaction code. The indirect code that can be setup is machine downtime. If you need to validate and track indirect by reason and validate the reason code, then you may want to explore an MES solution that works with Infor LX.

 

Certain industries require lot control, where others may find it an option based on how they want to trace the material used in a product in the event of a defect, or recall.

LX provides tight lot controls and flexibility with lot number assignments. Shop orders can have a pre-assigned lot number, or a lot number can be automatically assigned when the item is produced. You can also assign a specific lot number for the entire shop order, or for each item/quantity reported against a shop order.
