Infor LN & Baan Tip of the Week: Quantity change during shipment planning – 10.7

Customers who use the Projected Shipments concept, and with that the Shipment Planning Workbench, require more flexibility in modifying outbound order lines before projected shipments are generated. The most important requirement is the option to change item quantities, which is a typical instrument to react on specific circumstances such as truck size and inventory situation. A Shipment Planning tab has been added to the Outbound Order Lines to enable users to perform shipment planning activities in terms of quantities and dates.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

In ERP LX, this function is called Backward Scheduling. This is a simple, easy way to create and release shop orders associated with the end item.

The result is a shop calendar with the associated order start dates. Setting up ERP LX properly with correct Queue Times, Setup and Run Times, along with Move Times, will result in accurate shop order start dates.

Establishing the Quantity On-Hand and the Quantity Available.

LX maintains buckets for information associated with the following inventory transactions for each item:

  • Opening Balance
  • Issues
  • Receipts
  • Adjustments
  • Allocations for the Customer
  • Allocations for Manufacturing


The on hand quantity does not include any allocations. To arrive at the on hand quantity, start with the opening balance, less any issues, plus any receipts, then add or subtract any adjustments. Available inventory is the on-hand less any allocations.
