DASHBOARDS for IBM i WEBINAR

See it. Understand it. Discuss it.

Anthony Etzel 0 747 Article rating: 5.0

Are your numbers telling the full story? Discover the power of dashboards in our recorded webinar from 5/2/2024: "Unlocking Business Insights with Dashboards" Numbers are just the tip of the iceberg; the real insights lie beneath, in the 'how' and 'why'. Imagine presenting your manager with a dashboard that not only showcases the figures but also unveils the backstory behind them. Picture revealing that the 3rd shift was short-staffed for over a week, or that a material shortage caused order fulfillment delays, or that quality issues triggered extensive rework, impacting subsequent production runs. How do you unearth all this crucial information without consulting every individual involved?

The Answer:  D A S H B O A R D S !

Infor LN & Baan Tip: The ABC’s & 123’s of Serialized Items

Kathy Barthelt 0 892 Article rating: 5.0

A serialized item is a physical occurrence of a standard item that is given a unique lifetime serial number. This enables tracking of the individual item throughout its lifetime, for example, through the design, production, testing, installation, and maintenance phases. A serialized item can consist of other serialized components.

In Service, a serialized item can be a customer-specific or owner-specific installation. Installation groups are a group of installations/serialized items such as photocopiers, computers, air conditioners, forklifts, lathe machines, and even aircraft.

A serialized item is identified by both the item code and serial number. You can set up the mask used to generate the serial numbers so the serial number includes some fields of the item data, such as the item group and the manufacturer.

In a multi-company structure, the companies can share the serialized item data. All the service departments in the various companies can refer to the same serialized items.

The serialized item can originate from a sales order or a project. The details of a serialized item indicate their origin, for example, by using specific sets of serial numbers for items that originate from sales orders and from projects. Serialized items can also originate from an as-built structure or directly from the production bill of material in Manufacturing.

Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Did you know? One Time Vendor – ACP100D2-02 (Vendor Master Maintenance)

George Moroses 0 697 Article rating: 5.0

Did you know that you can set up one-time vendors in LX? One Time Vendor (1,A): Specify Y to indicate that this vendor is a one-time vendor. Otherwise, could you specify N. The system removes a one-time vendor's information from the Vendor Master file after all transactions are reconciled. If this vendor already exists as a one-time vendor, you can specify N to change the vendor to a regular vendor.

​Infor LN & Baan Tip: Determining What Data to Archive or Delete

Kathy Barthelt 0 3239 Article rating: 5.0

Ensuring access to historical logistical and financial transaction information for your employees is crucial. However, before proceeding with archiving or deletion, it's essential to evaluate the necessity of retaining this data. Baan and Infor LN (ERP LN) offer standard archiving sessions within major modules that typically handle a significant volume of historical transactions. These sessions are designed to transfer historical data to an archive company before deleting it from the operational company.

When it comes to archiving sessions, you have three primary options:

While it might be accurate (and I emphasize "might"), is a Manual Physical Inventory the optimal approach? Best practices unequivocally say otherwise!

A superior alternative is the adoption of Cycle Counting. Why choose Cycle Counting over a complete physical inventory? This method zeroes in on a selected stock range, allowing concurrent execution with a company's regular operations. Cycle Counts offers a streamlined approach to inventory management, minimizing disruptions to processes related to stock receipt, consumption, or dispatch.

The dreaded "freeze" is no longer a necessity, sparing your staff from extended holiday hours, and ensuring accurate inventory counts throughout the year! Crossroads RMC is poised to assist you in implementing Cycle Counting efficiently and effortlessly.

Tips: LN | Baan

“Sorry, boss. We can’t help you move the business forward.”

Infor LX | BPCS | Infor LN | Baan

Imagine saying that to your boss, or the president of your company. What would their response be? Do you think that he or she would say, “It’s ok, we can wait to implement this big initiative that will likely save us a ton of money and move us ahead of the competition... No problem… let me know when you have time to work on it.”  Pretty unlikely. They want you to add something else to the top of your already overloaded to-do list. Am I right? 

Well, you do it, because it is the right thing to do and is important to the business, but what happens to everything else that you were SUPPOSED to be working on? Those tasks end up sitting on your to-do list... forever.  

What if they didn’t have to? What if you could pivot to work on highly important projects that drive your business forward and all the while continue to address the lower priority items that STILL need to get done? You can do this with outsourced IT and ERP support services.

As you know, the management of ERP systems is fairly complex and time-consuming, and you always need to be one step ahead to identify, prevent and resolve issues before they become a problem. Can you really afford to abandon this work in lieu of something else?

Crossroads RMC offers a full range of support services to provide 24 X 7 X 365 coverage to handle the most challenging of support issues down to the most mundane. We handle everything from installing software updates to maintaining highly customized environments to determining the source of a financial integration error, to figuring out why the items you just produced are not accurately reflected in inventory.

You name it, we can tackle it. 38 years of working with manufacturers and Infor ERP systems say we can, and so do our customers.

Support Services Designed Your Way

Crossroads RMC provides support services with open communication to ensure your business is covered whenever you need us with or without a support plan.

No support plan, don't worry, give us a call and we will take care of your business first, and sort out the details later.

To learn more about our popular customized support plans that make it simple to log support cases, track support usage, schedule support meetings, live chat, and review Infor resources, give us a call today. 800.762.2077
