Infor LX & BPCS: What are your production orders telling you?

George Moroses 0 30266 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...

The Infor ERP Elephant in the Room That Must Be Addressed

In a recent survey of Infor ERP customers, we discovered that 50% of respondents said that they did not know whether or not their ERP system had the features and functionality required for their business.  50%....1 out of every 2……not good.

Why is this the case? Well, the causes can be traced back to one of the following reasons:

  • A key-person has retired or left the company and their knowledge left with them.
  • Systems were implemented based on how the previous system worked.
  • Upgrades and implementations were viewed as a “technical upgrade”, meaning that the upgrade was done to get off an old or outdated platform. The new version wasn't researched, its functionality was unknown and no one was trained on it.

You may say “So what? Who cares if our team doesn’t know what else is available, or how the rest of the ERP system functions? Does it really matter?”

Yes - It matters more than you think....

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Using Country of Origin for Purchase Orders

For purchase orders, information about the COO allows you to track the related import duties, tariffs, and compliance with sourcing requirements. You can maintain the COO of an item when creating an order or the release level of a purchase order.

When you create a purchase order line in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session, the COO related details are defaulted based on the item-purchase data defined in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session. To view this data, you can use the Country of Origin option from the References menu in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session.

After the order line is released to Warehousing, an inbound line is created in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session with the COO information. A receipt line is created in the Warehouse Receipt Lines (whinh3512m100) session when the inbound order line is received. To view the actual COO for the item specified on the receipt line, you can use the Country of Origin option from the References menu in this session.

You can view the country of origin (COO) data for the inventory received in a warehouse in the Item - Country of Origin Inventory (tcitu6600m000) session based on the data specified in the header section such as, warehouse, item, and so on.

In the Inventory Tracking Receipt (tcitu2610m000) session, you can view the information related to the purchase order, inventory quantity, and actual COO of the item. You can use the Intrastat Transactions (tccom7171m000) session to view the COO that is reported for an order line and is used for the Intrastat declaration.
