The user has the choice of using the parent lot ID, the next sequential generated lot ID, or not pre-assigning lot IDs. Multiple items per lot must be installed to use the parent lot number option.

Infor LN & Baan Tip of the Week: Quantity change during shipment planning – 10.7

Kathy Barthelt 0 89196 Article rating: 5.0

Customers who use the Projected Shipments concept, and with that the Shipment Planning Workbench, require more flexibility in modifying outbound order lines before projected shipments are generated. The most important requirement is the option to change item quantities, which is a typical instrument to react on specific circumstances such as truck size and inventory situation. A Shipment Planning tab has been added to the Outbound Order Lines to enable users to perform shipment planning activities in terms of quantities and dates.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Copy Customized Product Structure to Standard Structure (tipcs2232m000)

This functionality allows you to copy the product structure of a customized item to a standard item.

Note: When a customized structure is copied to a standard structure, the Customized check box in the Items session (tcibd0501m000) is cleared.

Item Types:

  • Standard Items: Identified by a regular item code.

  • Segmented Items: Consist of a project code segment and an item base segment (i.e., the customized item’s item code). Segments are defined in the Item Code Segmentation session (tcibd0500m000).

Only components valid for the specified Effectivity Unit will be copied.

Copy Options:

  • Target Routing Code
    Enter the code of the standard routing to which the customized structure should be copied.

  • Copy Product Structure
    Choose whether to:

    • Copy the entire structure

    • Copy only the first level

    • Perform the copy interactively

  • Reference Date
    Only parts of the product structure valid on this date will be copied.

  • Copy E-Item Relationships
    If selected, related E-item records will be copied.

  • Copy All Components and Effectivity Statements
    If selected, unit effectivity is copied to the standard structure. You can specify the unit.
    Exceptions related to routings and operations (that meet date effectivity) are also copied.

  • Alternative Material
    If selected, alternative BOM components are included in the copy.

  • Use-Up Material
    If selected, use-up materials from BOM components are included.

  • New Item Codes for Existing Standard Components
    If selected, LN generates new item codes for existing standard components in the structure.

  • Approve Conversion Factors

    • Selected: LN copies and approves conversion factors for the target item.

    • Cleared: LN copies the factors, but approval must be done manually in the Conversion Factors session (tcibd0103m000).

  • Copy to Standard Item Configuration
    If selected, the customized or generic item product structure is copied to the specified standard item configuration.

​Important Note: This option is only enabled if the Use Standard Item for Configuration check box is selected in the Product Configuration Parameters session (tipcf0100m000).Copying is only possible if the product variant is not active in Order Management. Active supply orders linked to the product structure will lose association with sales orders/quotations when the structure is regenerated.
