Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

OPERATIONS: Add Item Description to Inbound Delivery Lines Selection

Inbound Delivery Line Detail panels have been enhanced. Item Description is added to the Inbound Delivery Lines Selection screen, and the number of lines displayed on the screen has been increased.

The Item Description is displayed in the user’s language, if available, else in base language. In addition, the Item Description shown on the Inbound Delivery Lines PO Detail panel has been enabled for multi-language support, and is also displayed in the user’s language, if available.

This enhancement provides additional detail about the items appearing on an inbound delivery.

Users can now see additional detail about the items on an inbound delivery. The item description is displayed in the user’s language, if defined. The redesign of the Inbound Delivery Lines Selection panel also allows more delivery lines to be displayed to the user.

TECHNOLOGY: Optimize PUR500 for WebTop Grid Performance

Improve subfile record loading to optimize for WebTop Grid performance.
Improve subfile loading in PUR500-07 to take advantage of WebTop Grid capabilities.

This enhancement allows the WebTop Grids allow users to personalize list-type screens such as PUR500-07 to display as many records as their presentation allows.  With WebTop Grids, the PUR500 user is no longer limited by the number of records that can be displayed in a traditional green screen subfile screen.

FINANCE: Tax Code Table window (WINZRTD)

Added total tax rate to accumulate the tax rate based on effective date for each tax code and added an action to display the Tax Rate Code Table window (WINZRCD). Tax Code Table subsets list of item tax codes when customer tax code is entered in Order Entry.

This enhancement provided the following new features:

Tax Code Table (WINZRTD)

  • Added ‘Total Tax Rate’ column to window to accumulate the tax rate based on effective date for each tax code defined in Tax Rate Table Maintenance (SYS150).
  • Added 10=Tax Rate Code listing
  • Subsets data by item tax codes when called from Order Line Detail (ORD700D3) and customer tax code is entered in Order Entry - Tax, Currency, Payment (ORD700D9-06).

Tax Rate Code Table (WINZRCD)

  • Updated to display effective tax rate based on today’s date.

Order Entry (ORD700D9-06)

  • Tax Rate Code literal changed to Tax Code
  • Updated Tax Code prompt to Tax Code Table (WINZRTD)

Purchase Order (PUR500-09 / PUR600-09)

  • Updated Item Tax Code prompt to Tax Code Table (WINZRTD)

Enhance Tax Code Table Window (WINZRTD)

This enhancement improves communication with the customer. Customer Service Representatives have ability to provide the tax rate information used to calculate tax on an order during Order Entry maintenance.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Tips: LN | Baan

For years, paper work instructions have been a standard part of manufacturing. They were easy to distribute, simple to update, and familiar to operators.

But manufacturing has changed. Products are more complex, customer expectations keep rising, and as experienced employees retire, new hires often need to become productive faster than ever before. As a result, many manufacturers are rethinking how information is delivered on the shop floor.

The Challenge with Paper

Paper work instructions create several common challenges:

  • Multiple versions of the same document
  • Outdated instructions remaining at workstations
  • Time spent searching for the correct information
  • Longer training periods for new employees
  • Inconsistent processes between operators

On their own, none of these seem like a major problem, but together they add up to real quality and productivity issues.

A Shift Toward Digital Work Instructions

One trend we're seeing across the manufacturers we work with is a move toward digital work instructions. Rather than relying on printed documents, operators receive the latest approved instructions directly at their workstation, along with supporting images, videos, and other visual aids. This helps ensure every operator is working from the same information, every time.

Manufacturers making this shift are also gaining new capabilities they didn't have with paper: capturing production data directly from the shop floor, improving traceability, and supporting standardized work across shifts and facilities.
