Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Order Quantity Dependent Routings vs Default Routings

Order quantity-dependent routings

An automatically selected routing tailored to a specific production order quantity is useful. An example would be if the production order quantity is large, a routing with high production rates is used; If the order quantity is small, another routing is selected.

You can set up these quantity-dependent routings:

  • Select the Quantity-dependent Routing check box in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session.
  • Enter the routing codes in the Item - Routings (tirou1101m000) session. Enter the maximum quantity for which a routing is valid in the Up to Quantity field.

Note: If multisite functionality is activated, the routings available may vary per site on the job shop bill of material selected. Differences in routings have an impact on the standard cost calculation.

Default routing

If the Quantity-dependent Routing check box is not selected, the default routing applies to an item. However, this default routing must also be linked to the item. To find out, LN checks the default routing code in the Default Routing field of the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session. Next, LN checks whether the default routing code is linked to the item in the Item - Routings (tirou1101m000) session. If so, the default routing applies to the item. If the default routing is not linked to the item, no routing is used.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Tips: LN | Baan

Use this session to define simulated purchase prices for purchased items per site.

Field Information:

  • Cost Calculation Code - price calculation code
  • Item

The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
     
  • ​Site - The site for which the purchase price is simulated.
  • Purchase Currency - The currency of the simulated purchase price.
  • Simulated Price - Purchase price

The simulated purchase price and currency are recorded twice.

  • Simulated Price Multi Currency - The purchase price in multiple currencies.

The simulated purchase price and currency are recorded twice. The amount in this field is related to the price of the supplier.

  • Unit - Purchase price unit
  • Cost Component - The cost component that must be of the type Material Costs.

Note: The cost component specified in this field does not become part of the standard cost detail structure if it is part of the cost component scheme of the selected item. If calculations are performed with a calculation code not used for actualization (simulations only), the simulated purchase price is mapped to the cost component defined in the records for this session.
