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?

George Moroses 0 37046 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.

Infor LN & BaanTip: Restructuring Your Warehouse

Am I able to remove a warehouse location?

Kathy Barthelt 0 82696 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.

Infor LN & Baan Tip: Why was the session "General Ledger Diagnostics Workbench" built?

Any problem noticed and solved before the period closing will reduce the time and pressure during the actual period close itself. So, the General Ledger Administrator can be assisted in his/her daily tasks by viewing and addressing any issues via the "General Ledger Diagnostics Workbench" (tfgld1590m000) session.

The general ledger administrator needs to complete the following tasks during a given fiscal period:

  • Notice, print, and solve erroneous batches that cannot be finalized
  • Notice and solve integration mapping and posting errors
  • Change GL master data for solving posting errors
  • Make sure external (wages, intergroup) and automatic (recurring) documents are posted into the General Ledger
  • Perform technical utility sessions to correct data (e.g. rebuild history, reverse entry) or reset certain statuses (e.g. batch status).
