Consider this

Your staff is working on a critical project for your top customer, but in order to complete the project on time with high customer satisfaction, you need to extend your team. You know that the recruitment process is lengthy and it is not easy to find highly qualified people who won’t require a lengthy training process just to bring them up to speed on your ERP, (let alone your business) so this option is not suitable.

Or how about this…

Your ERP system is dragging and you know there are updates to install which are likely to improve system performance, but your IT guy is tied up working on something else and doesn’t know when he can perform the upgrade.

Either of these scenarios sound familiar?

Infor Development Framework

George Moroses 0 32339 Article rating: 5.0

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) re-architects the way a user interacts with the application, providing an efficient, task-oriented process to view application information that is contained within Infor LX. IDF enables users to configure their view of the application data without modifying the core application and its supportability.

The examples below describe how users can configure their display of data and maximize overall productivity:

  • Arrange application information into multiple groupings and sequences that make sense for the job.
  • Filter or hide records to show only the information that applies to the job or task that the user is performing.
  • Customize the information for an individual user, a group of users, or all users.

Infor LN & BaanTip: Restructuring Your Warehouse

Am I able to remove a warehouse location?

Kathy Barthelt 0 70248 Article rating: 5.0

You may want to restructure your warehouse with new bin codes and new bin characteristics. You will not undertake this kind of activity very often, but situations can occur where a reclassification is necessary to achieve or maintain a more efficient operation. In this case, you may want to remove a given warehouse location. It can be done, but you must be aware of the following:

A location cannot be removed if any of these conditions exist:

  1. Any outstanding inbound advice for the item.
  2. Any outstanding outbound advice for the item.
  3. Any unprocessed cycle counting order/adjustment order lines.
  4. Any cycle counting data.

George Moroses 0 36542 Article rating: 5.0

Infor’s Intelligent Open Network (ION) technology easily integrates Infor ERPs and third-party enterprise systems. ION is an advanced middleware cloud platform that provides the flexibility you need to make the most complex web of enterprise systems work together on-premise, in the cloud, or both. ION’s long-term sustainability will optimize your ROI, and with ION, one application can be upgraded, replaced, or even fail without taking the entire network down.

Benefits:

  • Faster integration and upgrade times
  • Access to real-time information
  • Reduced burden on IT
  • Immediate access to business services like reporting and mobility

For older BPCS installations that don’t use ION, Crossroads RMC has the expertise to build powerful adapters to allow your specific BPCS version to communicate and exchange information with virtually any sub-system that can import/export data.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

FINANCE: Clear Rounding Differences for Documents with Period Change (tccri7214m000)

Use this session to adjust the rounding difference transactions, calculated during the internal conversion, for inter-period postings.

Inter-period postings are the postings made to the ledger accounts defined in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session for fiscal and reporting period changes.

If inter-period postings exist, very big rounding differences are calculated . If you run this session, those rounding differences are replaced with values that properly deal with an observed period change.

If inter-period postings exist, during the internal conversion rounding differences can be calculated for the wrong period. If you run this session, those rounding differences are deleted and the rounding differences are created for the correct period.



OPERATIONS: Sales Contract Linked Documents (tdsls3506m000)

Use this session to view the documents linked to a sales contract. You can view these documents only when a sales order line or a sales schedule line is linked to a sales contract line.

Note: 

  • You can view this session only if the Contracts check box is selected in the Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000) session.
  • You can use the Linked Document option from the References menu to view the details of a specific linked document.


Field Information

Contract: The code of the sales contract.

Description: The description of the sales contract

Line: The sequence number of the sales contract line.

Sales Office: The code of the sales office.

Description: The description of the Sales Office

Linked Document: The document type that is linked to the sales contract line.

Note: This field can be set to Sales Order Line or Sales Schedule Line only.

Linked Document Company: The company in which the document is linked to the sales contract line.

Linked Document: The code of the document that is linked to the sales contract line.

Note: 

  • The code of the sales order is defaulted from the Order Line field in Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.
  • The code of the sales schedule is defaulted from the Schedule field in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session.

Linked Document Reference: The reference number of the linked document.

Note: 

  • The line number of the sales order line is defaulted from the Line field in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.
  • The line number of the sales schedule line is defaulted from the Line field in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session.

Link Sequence: The sequence number of the linked document.


TECHNOLOGY: Audit Fields by Table (ttaud3125m000)

Use this session to to define which fields must be audited, and when they must be audited.

Note: 

  • It is not required to define the fields that must be audited. Only if not all fields in a table must be audited, you must specify the fields that must be audited. You can only specify fields for a table for which you selected Specified in the Field Selection field of the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000) session. If you selected All in that field, all fields in the table are audited, and no fields can be specified.

  • For a detailed explanation of the relation between audit type and field specification, refer to the section How to determine the net result of the audit configuration in the Audit Configuration Management topic.

  • The audit functionality uses the positive approach, which means that you can only specify which tables and fields must be audited, but not which tables and fields must not be audited. Therefore, through the appropriate menu, commands are available to load all (key) fields. You can then delete the fields you do not require.
