DATA: See it. Understand it. Discuss it.

Crossroads RMC 0 15333 Article rating: 5.0

We’ve all heard author and management consultant Peter Drucker’s famous quote “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.”  

What’s the right way to manage “It” though? Is it enough to put the data in the hands of the responsible manager and wait for change to occur? Does the manager have a pulse on everything that went into those numbers?

Your numbers tell a story, but there is a lot of...

Is Your ERP System Hurting Your Business?

The Importance of an Integrated System

Kathy Barthelt 0 16296 Article rating: 5.0

It could be if your ERP system isn't integrated with other systems that contain mission-critical business data.

Having data in two (or more) systems that don’t talk to one another is like baking a pizza crust in one oven and the toppings in another. Once baked, you may have food to snack on, but it sure isn’t pizza! Pizza requires the cheese, sauce and spices to bake with the crust, so all the flavors meld together when you take that first delicious bite. 

That’s the value of an integrated ERP system. When you...

Improves control over PO costing changes during invoice entry by replacing passive warnings with an intentional override action.

  • In ACP500D3 (Invoice Entry PO Costing), users previously could unintentionally accept changes by pressing ENTER, even when quantity to cost or amount to cost values had changed.

  • A new “F14 to Override” warning message replaces the old message:
    “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”
    This ensures users acknowledge and confirm significant changes explicitly.

New System Parameter:

  • “Apply GRN Costing Tolerance for PO Costing” (optional):

    • Within tolerance: Displays the original message —
      “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”

    • Outside tolerance: Triggers the new override requirement —
      “F14 to Override”

Benefits:

  • Enhances oversight and reduces unintentional cost acceptance.

  • Enables better control of PO costs when invoice details differ from expectations.

Tips: LN | Baan

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.
