Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Capacity Planning – Resource Requirements Reports

Resource Requirements Report (CAP260D) generates five capacity reports:

  • Labor Resource Requirements
  • Machine Resource Requirements
  • Setup Resource Requirements
  • Setup and Labor Requirements
  • Setup and Machine Requirements

The Labor Resource Requirement report lists requirements that are calculated from the run hours on each routing and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR). The calculation does not consider crew size.

The Machine Resource Requirement report lists machine hour requirements based on routings and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR).

The Setup Resource Requirements report lists setup labor requirements based on routings and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR).

The last two reports combine setup hours with labor hours and setup hours with machine hours to provide two separate reports that summarize the requirements by work center with totals by department. The system computes requirements similarly to the way it computes them on the other reports.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

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.

Determining whether to use Master Production Schedule (MPS) planning or Material Requirements Planning (MRP) planning for items in Infor LX and BPCS involves understanding the nature of the items and their demand characteristics.

Master Scheduled Items typically encompass finished goods or service items. These items receive their requirements either from Independent demand, Dependent demand, or a combination of both...

Tips: LN | Baan

One common GRINYA issue would be incorrectly entered Integration Setups.

Check the Baan/LN manual for recommended Integration setups. If such a mistake were to occur, it is important to know for what period of time the Integration was in error. It is recommended that the Integrations Setup tables be audited either through Baan or Database Auditing. Corrections can be quickly calculated when an exact timeframe can be determined.

In LN, you can differentiate between items at various suppliers:

  • Locations (warehouses),
  • Purpose (planning, purchase)
  • Origin (supplier, warehouse)

Example

An item is supplied by two different suppliers. Supplier A ships in lots of 100 pieces due to how the item is packed. Supplier B ships the goods in units of 60 pieces.

You can define specific parameters for each supplier. The following sessions can be used to define these characteristics:
 
  • Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000)
  • Check Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2210m000)
  • Item Supplier Plan (cpvmi0530m000)
These sessions define entities that have an n-to-1 relationship with the general item data.
