Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Multi-Level Shop Order Release Due Dates

George Moroses 0 13568 Article rating: 5.0

Previously, Material Requirements Planning (MRP) preferred practices meant that the component's due date was the same as the parent's shop order release date. Because MRP trends have changed, the preference for this due date is the day before the release date of the parent. Although Infor LX already has this functionality in Shop Order Maintenance programs (SFC500), users could not change how due dates were determined for lower-level shop orders in Multi-Level Shop Order Release, SFC530D.

This enhancement provides an additional parameter for Multi-Level Shop Order Release. This parameter allows the user to change how the due date of the child components is determined. The Multi-Level Shop Order Release, SFC5302, has a new parameter for shop orders. The Due Date of Children = Release Date of Prent (Due Date of Children) field allows the user to set the due date determined for multi-level shop orders.

Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Override Exchange Rate

George Moroses 0 11090 Article rating: 5.0

This feature uses different exchange rates in the user's inventory processes by using new macros in Post Inventory to G/L, INV920D. INV920 used macros limited by the Override Exchange Rate parameter set on the book in Book Definition, CEA105D3. If the Override Exchange rate parameter is set to No, the macro uses the Rate Type of the Book. If the Override Exchange parameter is set to Yes, the macro uses the Rate Type of the Order Company. This enhancement provides macros that use the Rate Type of the Order Company. This enhancement provides macros that use the Rate Type of the Warehouse Company, Order Company, or the Book regardless of the Override Exchange Rate parameter in the Book.

This enhancement provides the ability to enable setting facility-specific bill of material BOD's accounting entity from the facility's stocking warehouse's company. The bill of material BOD can be consistent with the bill of resources BOD which sets its accounting entity from the company associated with the facility's stocking warehouse.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for TECHNOLOGY: Adding a Timestamp to LN Standard Tables

Kathy Barthelt 0 32464 Article rating: 5.0

Table Timestamp Definitions (ttadv4136m000)

Use this session to define timestamps for Infor LN tables. A timestamp is an additional column that stores the date and time of the last change for each record.

Timestamps are utilized by features like the extraction logic of CPM Enterprise Analytics. They enable CPM to perform incremental data extractions. For example, CPM can use the timestamps to extract records that were changed during the last week in a weekly extraction process.

To Create Timestamps...

Infor LN & Baan Tip: Defining “Unavailability” in Infor LN

This topic describes the definition of temporary unavailability for resources in a calendar.

Use one of the following sessions:

  • Recurring unavailability
    For recurring unavailability, such as national holidays, define the recurrence in the Recurrences (tcccp0143m000) session. Add that recurrence to the applicable calendar and availability type in the Calendar Recurrences (tcccp0144m000) session, and clear the Available check box for the unavailable days.
    With calendar recurrences you define recurring exceptions in a calendar, and set a time schedule for daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly unavailable time in one action.
  • Unavailable days for all availability types
    To define occasional unavailability, such as a department trip, use the Calendar Non-Available Days (tcccp0119m000) session. What you define here applies to all availability types.
     
  • Unavailable days for a specific availability type
    To define unavailability for a single day, complete the following steps:
  1. Start the Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000) session.
  2. Find the applicable calendar and availability type, and clear the Available check box for a working hours type on the relevant date.
  • Unavailable during a part of a day
    To indicate that part of a day is unavailable, use the Calendar Recurrences (tcccp0144m000) or the Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000) session to specify the time intervals that are available. All other times are considered unavailable. You cannot directly specify an unavailable time interval.

If you defined unavailable dates in the Calendar Non-Available Days (tcccp0119m000) or the Calendar Recurrences (tcccp0144m000) session, in the Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000) session, click Update Calendar.

Note:

  • Unavailability always applies to entire days. If the Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000) session contains multiple time intervals for a single date, and the Available check box is cleared for some intervals and selected for other intervals on the same day, the entire day is unavailable.
  • A calendar recurrence that makes a day unavailable has no effect on the availability of that day in the parent calendar.


It is not useful to define a special availability type for unavailability, because Infor LN does not maintain and update the working hours and the capacity data of a calendar in the Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000) session based on non-available availability types.
