Make to Order? No problem if you use the Configuration Management System. This LX product allows you to define and configure a make to order product during Customer Order Entry. Basically, you have the option to create different products under the same common product item. You will get two completely different common end items that are configured from the same common parent.

The customer orders are planned and turned into shop orders for each end item with all the associated components. With an MES solution in place, the shop order side is easy to schedule and allows you to manage the shop floor.

In typical LN REST API integrations, permissions and authorizations are not implemented or rarely used. To ensure smooth data exchange and avoid errors, it is recommended to disable the authorization and security settings.

Recommendation:

• In the Authorization and Security Parameters session (tcsec0100m000):

  • Clear the Authorization and Security Enabled check box.

  • Clear all check boxes under Authorization Enable for on the Enabling tab.

Why This Matters:

• Enabling authorization and security without proper setup can lead to errors and blocked transactions during integration.

• For example, work center permissions may interfere with:

  • Creating new shifts

  • Booking machine hours

  • Other automated data operations via the API

Disabling these settings helps prevent disruptions in API-based integrations and simplifies the configuration process.
