How can we make sure the production line is running at peak performance?

One very effective way is to put the right balance of production KPIs in place. Some of these are leading indicator KPIs that help provide insight into future performance and some are results KPIs that tell you how you have done. It is good to have both.

Check out this list of 21 examples of KPI indicators for 2020 to help improve manufacturing performance.

Crossroads RMC Tip of the Week: How to Prevent Your Company From Being a Victim of Ransomware

Crossroads RMC 0 71850 Article rating: 3.5

This is unfortunately becoming a common occurrence in today’s digital society and we are hearing about these sort of attacks quite frequently.

There are a few dos and don’ts when it comes to ransomware as recommended by Norton 360:   

  1. Do not pay the ransom. It only encourages and funds these attackers. Even if the ransom is paid, there is no guarantee that you will be able to regain access to your files.
  2. Restore any impacted files from a known good backup. Restoration of your files from a backup is the fastest way to regain access to your data.
  3. Do not provide personal information when answering an email, unsolicited phone call, text message or instant message. Phishers will try to trick employees into installing malware, or gain intelligence for attacks by claiming to be from IT. Be sure to contact your IT department if you or your coworkers receive suspicious calls.
  4. Use reputable antivirus software and a firewall. Maintaining a strong firewall and keeping your security software up to date are critical. It’s important to use antivirus software from a reputable company because of all the fake software out there.
  5. Do employ content scanning and filtering on your mail servers. Inbound e-mails should be scanned for known threats and should block any attachment types that could pose a threat.
  6. Do make sure that all systems and software are up-to-date with relevant patches. Exploit kits hosted on compromised websites are commonly used to spread malware. Regular patching of vulnerable software is necessary to help prevent infection.
  7. If traveling, alert your IT department beforehand, especially if you’re going to be using public wireless Internet. Make sure you use a trustworthy Virtual Private Network (VPN) when accessing public Wi-Fi like Norton Secure VPN.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES

FINANCE: Clear Rounding Differences for Documents with Period Change (tccri7214m000)

Use this session to adjust the rounding difference transactions, calculated during the internal conversion, for inter-period postings.

Inter-period postings are the postings made to the ledger accounts defined in the Finance Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session for fiscal and reporting period changes.

If inter-period postings exist, very big rounding differences are calculated . If you run this session, those rounding differences are replaced with values that properly deal with an observed period change.

If inter-period postings exist, during the internal conversion rounding differences can be calculated for the wrong period. If you run this session, those rounding differences are deleted and the rounding differences are created for the correct period.



OPERATIONS: Sales Contract Linked Documents (tdsls3506m000)

Use this session to view the documents linked to a sales contract. You can view these documents only when a sales order line or a sales schedule line is linked to a sales contract line.

Note: 

  • You can view this session only if the Contracts check box is selected in the Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000) session.
  • You can use the Linked Document option from the References menu to view the details of a specific linked document.


Field Information

Contract: The code of the sales contract.

Description: The description of the sales contract

Line: The sequence number of the sales contract line.

Sales Office: The code of the sales office.

Description: The description of the Sales Office

Linked Document: The document type that is linked to the sales contract line.

Note: This field can be set to Sales Order Line or Sales Schedule Line only.

Linked Document Company: The company in which the document is linked to the sales contract line.

Linked Document: The code of the document that is linked to the sales contract line.

Note: 

  • The code of the sales order is defaulted from the Order Line field in Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.
  • The code of the sales schedule is defaulted from the Schedule field in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session.

Linked Document Reference: The reference number of the linked document.

Note: 

  • The line number of the sales order line is defaulted from the Line field in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.
  • The line number of the sales schedule line is defaulted from the Line field in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session.

Link Sequence: The sequence number of the linked document.


TECHNOLOGY: Audit Fields by Table (ttaud3125m000)

Use this session to to define which fields must be audited, and when they must be audited.

Note: 

  • It is not required to define the fields that must be audited. Only if not all fields in a table must be audited, you must specify the fields that must be audited. You can only specify fields for a table for which you selected Specified in the Field Selection field of the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000) session. If you selected All in that field, all fields in the table are audited, and no fields can be specified.

  • For a detailed explanation of the relation between audit type and field specification, refer to the section How to determine the net result of the audit configuration in the Audit Configuration Management topic.

  • The audit functionality uses the positive approach, which means that you can only specify which tables and fields must be audited, but not which tables and fields must not be audited. Therefore, through the appropriate menu, commands are available to load all (key) fields. You can then delete the fields you do not require.
