Our Infor LX Practice just finished a Supply Chain and Manufacturing audit for one of our customers. During that engagement, several areas of the business were identified that could benefit from additional training and consulting support. 

Areas of significance were:

• Purchasing
• Customer Service
• Billing
• Inventory
• Costing
• Bills of Materials and Routings
• Material Requirements Planning
• Shop Floor Control

Several manual procedures and “tribal knowledge” systems were discovered. The evaluation was done by two consultants who spent time with key users during two onsite visits. The next step in the process will involve working with the client to prioritize the list of items identified and develop a strategic plan focused on growth and efficiency.

• Automatically correct to quantity available for shipment
   
• Option to revise the order quantity so that pricing, promotions, credit checking load planning and other processes reflect the actual quantity
• Allows better control of exceptions for over shipments
• Ensures that pricing, promotions are correctly based on actual order quantity
