Infor LX & BPCS Tip of the Week: Item Deletion Option in IDF Enterprise Items

George Moroses 0 21019 Article rating: 5.0

Previously, users were unable to delete items in IDF Enterprise Items when they have inventory balances or the item is connected to ancillary records, such as sales history records. This feature added in LX 8.4 provides the ability to delete an item when sales history records are found but all sales history activity is zero.

When the user attempts to delete an item in IDF Enterprise Items that is tied to a sales history record, the panel displays a message that the item cannot be deleted. The user can then run the Delete Validation Report to determine which records are tied to this item that prevents the validation. If the item no longer has manufacturing activity but had old sales history, the item can be deleted.

Kathy Barthelt 0 60972 Article rating: 5.0

A new standard Inventory Aging report can be printed in the Perform Inventory Aging Analysis (whina1440m000) session. This report is mainly based on the physical incoming and outgoing inventory movements and transactions. The date of inventory consumption or issue is compared to the date of receipt. If inventory is not yet issued, a reference date is used for aging calculation.

The report includes this information:

  • Which inventory items are not frequently used or are obsolete.
  • How long items have been stored in a warehouse.
  • Inventory and transaction values. This facilitates the financial auditing process.

To use this new feature, an inventory aging analysis definition must be available in the Inventory Aging Analysis Definition (whina1140m000) session.

Infor LX & BPCS Tip: MPS Planned vs. MRP Planned

Determining whether to use Master Production Schedule (MPS) planning or Material Requirements Planning (MRP) planning for items in Infor LX and BPCS involves understanding the nature of the items and their demand characteristics.

Master Scheduled Items typically encompass finished goods or service items. These items receive their requirements either from Independent demand, Dependent demand, or a combination of both.

  • Independent Demand: This refers to demand that originates from sources such as forecasts or actual customer orders. Items sold directly to customers fall under this category.
  • Dependent Demand: Derived from higher-level demand within the product structure, dependent demand comprises components, raw materials, and sub-assemblies. These items are not typically designated as Master Scheduled Items.
  • Service Parts may exhibit both independent demand, originating from forecasts or customer orders, and dependent demand, stemming from their use in other sub-assemblies or products.
  • A crucial concept in MPS is the Cumulative Lead Time, which combines fixed and variable lead times required to produce a product. It represents the longest path through a given Bill-of-Materials (BOM). In Infor LX (ERP LX), the system calculates the cumulative lead time, also known as the Critical Path, based on setup options. Utilize the "indented BOM" display in BOM300 to identify the item with the longest lead time. Additionally, you may need to use Action 21, Line Detail, to view the lead time ("L/T") for each item.
