BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: How To Capture Re-Work Time (Part 1)

Anthony Etzel 0 43264 Article rating: No rating
In SFC600, there is no code to capture the time spent on re-work. Re-work is usually at a specific operation, or when the part is finished and QC determines that re-work is required in order to pass inspection. You are faced with deciding on how to report the additional labor time.

Do you continue to report it against the operation, or create a re-work shop order?

If you are re-working through a specific operation you can capture the time as run labor with the SFC600 program. Now you need to deal with the variance of actual to standard time and what impact this has on costing.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Configuration Management

Anthony Etzel 0 44224 Article rating: No rating

Make to Order? No problem if you use the Configuration Management System. This LX product allows you to define and configure a make to order product during Customer Order Entry. Basically, you have the option to create different products under the same common product item. You will get two completely different common end items that are configured from the same common parent.

The customer orders are planned and turned into shop orders for each end item with all the associated components. With an MES solution in place, the shop order side is easy to schedule and allows you to manage the shop floor.

Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Product Configurator - Part 1

Kathy Barthelt 0 54905 Article rating: No rating
What is it?
The configurator consists of a set of features (questions). The options (answers) to these questions then are used to generate the custom bill of material and routing. These questions may be answered at the time of order entry, prior to order entry (in a project or quote) or after order entry (in the project). The order of the questions need not have any relationship to the bill of materials. The configurator may also calculate the selling price, create a unique “smart” item number, custom description and text. Simple rules are used to interpret the answers.

Who uses the configurator?
Companies whose products have options. The configurator eliminates the need for part numbers for all combinations of options. The configurator ensures that the pricing and bills are correct. The configurator also keeps statistics on the frequency the options are selected.

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.

Infor LN & Baan Tip: Serialized Controlled Item >> to >> Non-Serialized Controlled item

Changing an item from serialized to not serialized can only be done by unchecking the Serialized flag in session Item - General (tcibd0101s000). 
The conditions for this are:

  • On Hand inventory is 0.00
  • On Order inventory is 0.00
  • Allocated inventory is 0.00

There are no records in the Inventory Transactions by item (whinr1510m000). Instead of removing all allocations and inventory, a new item may be created to replace the serialized item via the session Alternative Items (tcibd0505m000). Alternatively, the item can be converted from serialized in inventory to serialized not in inventory. 

In Item – Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) all the serial registration flags can be set to “No” and a Lot and Serial Registration Template (whwmd4102m000) can be linked in which all registration is explicitly excluded. In this way, although still serialized, the item is not subject to any serial registration and acts like a not serialized item.
