Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Revisions and approval

Kathy Barthelt 0 1643 Article rating: 5.0

Note that the Bill of Material and Routing are revision controlled. When a structure is generated for the first time, a first revision is made with status New.

If the Approve Structures Automatically check box is selected in the Job Shop Master Data Parameter (tirou0500m000) session, the revision is created with status Approved.

If the structure is regenerated, the current revision status determines the result:

  • If the status is New, this revision is overwritten
  • If the status is Approved, a new revision is created

Bring New Life to Your Infor LN & Baan ERP System

Bring New Life to Your ERP System

Did you implement your ERP system 5 or 20 years ago? Back then, it was like a brand-new car—sleek, fast, and efficient. It may have needed minor adjustments, but you were very pleased. Fast forward to today, does it still have that new car smell? Does it run as efficiently as it used to?

While ERP systems are designed to last, your business evolves. Customer needs change, employees come and go, and you are left with a system that may run “fine” but lacks its original spark.

GOOD NEWS: You can restore that “new car smell” with a utilization, or business process review performed by Crossroads RMC's 

What is a Utilization or Business Process Review?

Our consultants review your Infor ERP system's current usage and related business processes to make recommendations that reinvigorate your system and its users. 

Does My Organization Need One?

While every company could benefit, it's especially worthwhile if you have a specific problem to solve or a goal to achieve.

Financial Benefits Include:

  • Visibility into your ERP data to perform proper financial planning, forecasting, and reporting.
  • Reduction in the time it takes to do a monthly close.
  • An ERP system that covers all tax compliance requirements.
  • Accurately tracking costs to prevent potential losses.
  • A clear understanding of the path forward.
  • Becoming efficient with streamlined processes.

Technology Benefits Include:

  • A clear path for data to flow from one department to another.
  • Up-to-date processes and procedures.
  • An infrastructure that supports a plan for growth.
  • Automating processes to increase productivity.
  • Improved decision-making with access to real-time, reliable information across the business.​


Whether your ERP system needs engine work or just an oil change, investing in a business process review ensures peak performance.
Reviews can be performed remotely via phone or web meeting, or in person—whatever works best for your team.
