Infor LN & Baan Tip of the Week: The RFQ Comparison Workbench in LN 10.7

The RFQ Comparison Workbench (tdpur8366m000) session has been introduced to compare bidder responses and select the best deal from the existing combinations. The bidder combinations are displayed based on the total amounts or the criteria set defined on the selected request for quotation (RFQ). Users can use the session to:

• Filter the best response from the suppliers or bidders

• Determine the best responses based on Total Amount

• Determine the best responses based on Criteria Set

This session can be started from a specific RFQ or from the RFQ tab in the RFQ (tdpur8310m000) session. Initially, the session is not available on the menu, but users can add it to the menu.

Understanding: The Cycle Count Alternative

The best way to cycle count is to count the same number of items each day and at the same time each day. The goal is to count your “A” items 4 times a year. The “A” items should be those item that are about 80% of the total inventory value and 20% of the total items. Consider creating your own cycle count schedule then instead of using the cycle count transaction, use the inventory adjustment transaction. The item balance is changed at the time the transaction is keyed. The transaction list can be used for the reconciliation process.

Understanding: The Cycle Count Transaction

If you rely on BPCS to provide you with a cycle count list, the number of items could vary from day to day from a few items to count, to several. So the person doing the cycle counting may spend a few minutes to a few hours counting items. After the cycle count is complete, the balances are not changed until the reconciliation is complete. This process could take some time before the balances are changed.

The cycle count transaction process is similar to the physical inventory transaction process.
