Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Multilogistic/Single Finance

Kathy Barthelt 0 947 Article rating: 5.0

In a multilogistic/single-finance company structure, you can manage the manufacturing and distribution processes in a number of separate companies and perform the financial accounting in one company.

You must create one or more enterprise units in each logistic company and link all the enterprise units to the financial company.

For example, you can use a multilogistic/single-finance structure for an organization that consists of a number of separate production plants in one country that use their own BOM and production process but that form one legal entity. The reason for this is because BOMs, and the item cost prices based on them, are specific for each logistic company.

Present PUR500-07 “folded” Purchase Order Line Entry screen as the default Line Entry screen.

Supply Chain Management Enhancements:

WebTop Grid users can personalize the main Purchase Order Line Entry screen to resequencing columns, sort and filter on data values, change column headings, and other features.

In LX 8.4.2, the PUR500-07 “folded” screen is the default Purchase Order Line Entry screen presented to the user. Users can still access the “unfolded” PUR500-06 screen with limited fields displayed, on request.

Baan/LN Tip of the Week: ERP Setup - Pros & Cons

You may have started your setup of your ERP system one way, and have discovered over time that maybe it no longer fits how you need to do business. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be providing some pros/cons to consider for different company setups.

Pros/Cons of Single Finance / Single Logistic Company Set-Up

Pros
Easy to implement and to maintain.
No risk of processing data for another company.
Data not visible across companies – pro if you do not want users to see other company’s data.
Cost Prices can be different for the same item in the different logistics companies.
Easy to add or remove companies when companies are bought or sold.
Accounting functions are all separate by company. – Pro if each finance company is managed separately.

 

Cons
Decentralized operations – purchasing, sales, manufacturing, planning, warehousing, etc.
User must go in and out of companies if there is a need to view or create transactions in more than one company.
Data not visible across companies – con if you do want users to see other company’s data.
 
Must set up routings and BOM’s separately for each site.
 
Accounting functions are all separate by company – Con if both finance companies need to be managed together, although centralized payments, cash receipt application, and display and printing of ledger transactions and trial balances are possible for both companies if both are linked to the same financial group company.
