Understanding Taxability Rules Is Key To Sales Tax Compliance

Crossroads RMC 0 30789 Article rating: 5.0

Product taxability may seem straightforward because there are generally only two options: taxable or exempt. Yet that seemingly simple contrast fails to truly capture the inherent complexity of sales tax compliance. In fact, it’s a multistep process that starts with determining where a business has sales tax nexus. Knowing whether the products or services one sells are taxable or exempt is critical to the compliance process, from start to finish.

The good news is that you don’t have to be a tax expert, nor do you need to stay up on the latest tax rules and regulations in each state or country where you do business. Avalara handles all of this for you and Crossroads RMC provides the integration to Infor LN, Infor LX, Baan, and BPCS to make staying compliant a no-brainer.

Infor LX & BPCS Finance Tip: Items without costs, CST101D

George Moroses 0 27553 Article rating: 5.0

This program generates an uncosted items listing for the specified facility and cost set. You can use this report as an exception listing to identify those items that are currently maintained at zero cost or new items that require entry prior to cost rollup in Cost Set Rollup, CST500.

If a facility-specific component cost does not exist for a parent being rolled up, zero cost is rolled up for the component. When a new parent item is being rolled up for the first time, the audit report for Cost Rollup, CST500, displays a warning wherever a component cost is zero. Rolling up the parent cost again does not display a message for zero component costs.

Infor LN & Baan: What are your production orders telling you?

Kathy Barthelt 0 29686 Article rating: 5.0

Measure what you want to improve.

Six simple words, but put together they convey a powerful concept that can transform manufacturing companies. It’s a basic concept that’s hard to argue with: Collect data, see where the data leads you, and make changes that have a positive impact on the data. Repeat often.

If your company is manufacturing a product, you’re more than likely creating manufacturing variances. These variances tell managers where the company is not performing to the standards that were created and agreed to by those responsible in the Engineering, Finance, or Production Departments. There is almost a 100% chance you are creating either favorable or unfavorable manufacturing variances and, quite frankly, none of the variances will ever be favorable because the company is either over-costing or under-costing the production parts.

The data is all there within your ERP system… or at least it should be… provided that you are not tracking production information outside of your ERP system in a spreadsheet.

Analyzing your production orders can help you track down:

Infor LX & BPCS: Waste in Manufacturing

In manufacturing, waste is anything that doesn’t add value to or benefit the end customer. Reducing waste enables manufacturers to save money and increase productivity. Where is the waste happening in your processes?

How often is your department spending time and resources on the following tasks?

Manufacturing:

  • Correcting repeated problems with production quality
  • Juggling manual production schedules
  • Holding up production due to delayed component deliveries
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material resource needs


Materials:

  • Correcting deliveries with missing or wrong items
  • Sending overstocked inventory back to a warehouse or other location
  • Searching for raw materials, tools, or other equipment
  • Waiting on a late delivery from a supplier


Finance:

  • Managing increasing carrying costs of inventory
  • Dealing with budget overruns on projects
  • Managing cash flow due to unnecessarily long lead times and shipment times
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material costs to get overall production costs down


Company-wide:

  • Correcting repeated problems with production quality
  • Correcting deliveries with missing or wrong items
  • Holding up production due to delayed component deliveries
  • Constantly evaluating labor and material costs to get overall production costs down


What if you could eliminate these problems by spending $5/day?

Crossroads MES (Manufacturing Execution System) captures all of your ERP production data and harnesses the power of that data to “UP” your team’s efficiency by providing the right information at the right time to the right people to eliminate waste and optimize your business.
