MARCH… "in like a lion and out like a lamb"

Problems = Risk

Boy, it sure seems like we’ve seen our fair share of March “LIONS” over the past few years, wouldn’t you agree? Those lions have manifested mostly as external global problems outside of the control of any given person or manufacturing operation. As we know, problems = risk.

So, how do businesses respond to risk, specifically when it comes to their ERP system? We all deal with risks in our jobs every day. It is our response to the risk that makes all the difference. Creating short-term, midterm, and long-term response strategies ensure that a company can not only handle a fast-changing situation or emergency but also make the investments needed to seize opportunities and become more resilient.

To create these response strategies, manufacturers should examine:

How did we get here?
Where are we now?
Where are we headed?
What to do about it?

In order to really dig into each of these areas, our customers have successfully partnered with us to review a particular part of their business that they feel is at risk and sometimes have asked us to review everything…soup to nuts. This review is done through an ERP Utilization Review. In this review, we can dig into such things as...

Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Override Warning in Invoice Entry PO Costing

Tuesday, June 10, 2025

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.

Infor LN & Baan: BIG DATA - Keeping Track of Key Metrics

In order to communicate effectively as a team, everyone needs to speak the same language and operate off the same playbook. If decisions are made based on the data or the view of data that individuals are maintaining through their own spreadsheets or other data silos, then communication is negatively impacted.

Manufacturers need to review large amounts of data every day, making it difficult to keep track of key metrics within your department.

That’s where Crossroads RMC’s Analytics Dashboard solution comes in. Our Analytics Dashboard was developed to make tasks easier by putting all of the key information in one convenient location so you can view all of your crucial data in real-time.
