Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES:
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.
FINANCE: Integration Transactions - Compression
Integration transactions can be compressed before they are posted. For each integration document type, you can indicate whether the debit transactions and/or the credit transactions must be compressed.
Transactions can be compressed if the following transaction details have the same value:
-
The source financial company.
-
The destination financial company.
-
The transaction type and series.
-
The ledger account and dimensions.
-
The transaction currency.
-
The fiscal year and the financial period, the tax period, and the reporting period.
-
The integration document type and the Debit/Credit indicator.
-
If related gain and loss transactions are generated, the same compression criteria are used to compress these.
Note: Intergroup transactions are not compressed.
