Infor LN & Baan Tip: Backflushing of Materials & Hours

Why do I sometimes see small decimal quantities remaining after backflush?

This behavior is largely caused by differences in decimal quantities allowed in inventory units versus the display format of the data. Having different display formats with different rounding for material quantities and warehouse line quantities means that since these quantities interact, if one is rounded more strictly and the other is not, then the rounded quantity is being propagated to the other quantity, thus resulting in a loss of decimals. As a result, it is advised to not use different formats and rounding settings for material quantities and warehouse line quantities.

The LMP module (Lean Manufacturing Process) uses work centers but refers to them as production cells.

A cell is one or more work centers that produces an end item. So when a company decides to adopt the lean manufacturing philosophy, the concept of work centers takes on a new meaning.

In lean terms, the work center, or group of work centers, becomes a production cell. In other words, a mini-factory producing end items with similar characteristics.

In the master schedule creation, you have the flexibility to enter a planning start date, or default to the facility planning start date. Infor LX uses the planning date to plan both orders with forecasts and customer orders as demand.You can create your master schedule from the Master Production Scheduling module (MPS).
