Streamline Your Shipping Processes – Boost Efficiency and Reduce Errors

with RMCship

Are you manually entering shipping data between your Baan or Infor LN system and UPS/FedEx? If so, you’re likely facing challenges with efficiency, accuracy, and wasted time on redundant tasks. We understand these pain points and want to introduce a solution to transform your workflow: RMCship.

According to a recent report by The Manufacturer and IBM, 92% of manufacturers are prioritizing efficiency. However, the manual entry of shipment details—like transportation mode, weight, and tracking numbers—into logistics systems, only to re-enter data back into Baan and Infor LN, is a major bottleneck. This process not only consumes valuable time but also increases the risk of costly errors and delays in shipping and invoicing.

Here’s how RMCship can help:

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

George Moroses 0 14704 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 12571 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: High Contrast Skin

The high contrast skin can be activated by users who experience low vision, color-blindness, or similar visual impairments.

If the high contrast skin is active, LN UI is colored so that all controls comply with the WCAG AA norms for accessibility.

Guideline 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)

The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. For level AA, these exceptions apply:

  • Large text: large-scale text and images of large-scale text have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1.
  • Incidental: the following text or images of text have no contrast requirement:
    • Text or images of text that are part of an inactive user interface component.
    • Text or images of text that are pure decoration.
    • Text or images of text that are not visible to anyone.
    • Text or images of text that are part of a picture that contains significant other visual content.
  • Logotypes: text that is part of a logo or brand name has no minimum contrast requirement.
