George Moroses 0 20733 Article rating: 5.0

The cycle counting sub-system in Inventory Management determines which items are selected for cycle counting based on the following criteria:

  1. Cycle Counts/Year: The system calculates the cycle count frequency for each item using the "Cycle Counts/Year" field in the Item Master file (optional).

  2. Last Cycle Count Date: If you use locations, this date is found in the Location Inventory file (ILI), and if you don't, it's in the Warehouse Inventory file (IWI).

The system adds the calculated cycle count frequency to the last...

Imagine delivering this message to your boss or the company president. What would their response likely be? It's improbable that they would respond with, "That's perfectly fine; we can delay implementing this significant initiative that could potentially save us a substantial amount of money and give us a competitive edge. Please let us know when you have the availability to work on it." In reality, they would probably want you to add this new task to your already overflowing to-do list, wouldn't they?

Nonetheless, you'd probably comply because it's...

Does your Baan or Infor LN system still lack integration with UPS and FedEx?

Item Facility Master has a new attribute to define the override inspection days lead time CICP.ICINSD.

  • When an item facility has a defined override inspection days lead time, that value will be used instead of the system parameter inspection days lead time.

MRP exception report, MRP200B
Purchase planning report, PUR285B
Purchase order / Requisition maintenance, PUR500D3
Purchase order consolidation / release, PUR640B1
Vendor splits, PUR653B

This enhancement improved the subfile utilized in MRP320D Master Schedule Detail Inquiry -SCR001 by expanding the subfile with data rather than clearing the subfile as user pages. This change provides full support for the WebTop 4.8 Grid decorator.

This enhancement updated the approach used to populate the subfile to allow a deployed Webtop Grid to function correctly. There is no visible or user-impacted change to the way the program functions.

This enhancement provides improved functionality and full support of a Webtop grid applied to the subfile.

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.
