Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

FINANCE: Multilogistic/Single Finance

In a multilogistic/single-finance company structure, you can manage the manufacturing and distribution processes in a number of separate companies and perform the financial accounting in one company.

You must create one or more enterprise units in each logistic company and link all the enterprise units to the financial company.

For example, you can use a multilogistic/single-finance structure for an organization that consists of a number of separate production plants in one country that use their own BOM and production process but that form one legal entity. The reason for this is because BOMs, and the item cost prices based on them, are specific for each logistic company.

OPERATIONS: Generating Manufacturing Item Data by Site

After selecting the Manufacturing check box and clicking Generate in the Generate Master Data (tccom0231m000) session, LN generates Manufacturing item data by site in the Items - Production by Site (tiipd0151m000) session.

The data is retrieved from:

  • The Items (tcibd0501m000) session
  • The Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session
  • The Item - Production Defaults (tiipd0102m000) session, if default data have been specified.
  • The value in the Site field is retrieved from the warehouse or the work center listed in these sessions:

    • Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)
    • Generic Bill of Material (tipcf3110m000)
    • Production Orders (tisfc0501m000)
    • Production Schedules (tirpt4101m000)
    • Production Schedule Lines (tirpt4102m000)
    • Routing Operations (tirou1102m000). Sites are not retrieved from subcontracting work centers.

Technology: Table Sharing with a Multi-Company Setup - Using a Master Data Company

You can maintain all the master data, such as items, business partners, central purchase contracts, general ledger and related data in one company and share this data with the other companies. This master data company can be one of the operational companies, but you can also assign a separate company only to be used for the master data.

The advantages of having a separate master data company are:

  • Clarity: Having a single company as master data company is clear for all users.
  • Authorization: In general, only a few people in an enterprise can maintain the master data and, particularly for this maintenance, the authorization is important. If one dedicated master data company exists, you can use the company authorization to maintain this authorization very easily.
