Kathy Barthelt 0 1763 Article rating: 5.0

Note that the Bill of Material and Routing are revision controlled. When a structure is generated for the first time, a first revision is made with status New.

If the Approve Structures Automatically check box is selected in the Job Shop Master Data Parameter (tirou0500m000) session, the revision is created with status Approved.

If the structure is regenerated, the current revision status determines the result:

  • If the status is New, this revision is overwritten
  • If the status is Approved, a new revision is created

What is preventing you from upgrading your Infor LN or Baan ERP System?

What is preventing you from upgrading your Infor LN or Baan ERP System?

Your answer to this question is likely customizations… customizations that were once the best thing since sliced bread but now have become the bane of your existence.

There is something you can do about it! 

Crossroads RMC has many options for dealing with customizations: 

  • Customizations can be re-written to call standard Baan or Infor LN functions via APIs, libraries, BODs, and BDEs.
  • Your customizations can be re-programmed using Extensibility for smaller customizations and LN Studio for larger customizations.
  • RMCgen can be used to create your own custom components without modifying standard programs.
  • Analytics Dashboard allows for an endless variation of Infor LN or Baan views to be created all without touching your ERP system.
  • Infor Report Designer and Infor Document Management can be used to create your own custom-designed report output.
  • Crossroads partners with Nazdaq to deliver custom-designed reports through the B2Win Suite which also integrates with Infor Document Management.
  • New functionality in the latest version of the ERP software may allow you to eliminate many of your customizations.

It all starts with an assessment of your custom components. This is something that can be done internally by you, or with the assistance of Crossroads RMC consultants.

Why continue to live with the elephant in the room who insists on blocking the doorway to progress? Start the process today to get rid of the customizations that are preventing you from taking your ERP system to the next level. Contact us today to learn more: 800.762.2077, solutions@crossroadsrmc.com, or request a phone consultation.
