Baan/LN Tip of the Week: When More = Less

Kathy Barthelt 0 77593 Article rating: No rating

Do you have bottlenecks in your process due to product changeovers or breakdowns?

Maybe the answer is adding redundancy in the department where you are experiencing the problem. A duplicate machine setup can allow for double the capacity during high production periods. It can also eliminate the need to swap out tools or other materials due to different production runs. When breakdowns occur, equipment can be swapped out to keep production moving while repairs are being made.

Planning for this keeps production levels high.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Web Services

Anthony Etzel 0 42807 Article rating: No rating

Web Services can be very helpful for LX users to obtain updated information directly from the source, for example:

  • LX users can use a web service to request a stock check on an item for which they are going to issue a purchase order. Users can get item availability and updated pricing before placing the order.
  • LX users can also use a web service to get real time shipping charges from UPS, Fed Ex, etc. Once the user selects the appropriate freight charge, it can be added to the customer order while the order is being placed over the phone.

Kathy Barthelt 0 125968 Article rating: No rating

Enterprise Modeling Management module in Common: define the calendar of companies (company calendar) and enterprise units.

In the People module, you can link calendars to teams of employees. The Hours and Expenses module in the People package uses this information to get the default number of hours from the calendar lines.

In Common, you can link calendars to business partners and addresses; Procurement and Sales use this information when planning goods transfers.

Manufacturing: link calendars to work centers. The work centers' working times determine the available production capacity.

  

Warehousing: link calendars to warehouses.

Service: use calendars to specify when a cluster is available for servicing.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: At a Loss?

Anthony Etzel 0 54776 Article rating: No rating

As a result, decisions are made that may cause unintended problems.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for TECHNOLOGY: Audit Fields by Table (ttaud3125m000)

Use this session to to define which fields must be audited, and when they must be audited.

Note: 

  • It is not required to define the fields that must be audited. Only if not all fields in a table must be audited, you must specify the fields that must be audited. You can only specify fields for a table for which you selected Specified in the Field Selection field of the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000) session. If you selected All in that field, all fields in the table are audited, and no fields can be specified.

  • For a detailed explanation of the relation between audit type and field specification, refer to the section How to determine the net result of the audit configuration in the Audit Configuration Management topic.

  • The audit functionality uses the positive approach, which means that you can only specify which tables and fields must be audited, but not which tables and fields must not be audited. Therefore, through the appropriate menu, commands are available to load all (key) fields. You can then delete the fields you do not require.
