Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Pegging Material Supply Lines for Operation and Product Subcontracting

Kathy Barthelt 0 4163 Article rating: 5.0

For project pegged production orders, operations can be subcontracted. The material delivered to the subcontractor can be project pegged or anonymous. The subassemblies sent and retrieved are always project pegged. Costing breaks can be applied to direct the costs of the subcontracted operation to a specific project cost account. If (production material) costing breaks are used, a purchase order line's peg can differ from the peg on the material supply line.

For product subcontracting, the subcontracted purchase orders can include materials that inherit the project pegs or can include anonymous materials. The pegged materials are stored in inventory and are shipped to the subcontractor with project pegged orders.

In case of a project pegged order, a peg distribution is linked to the Purchase Order Material Supply Line in the...

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Blocking or Unblocking Warehouses

You can block a warehouse for inbound procedures, outbound procedures, or both. For example, you can block inbound and outbound procedures for a warehouse if the warehouse must be closed temporarily for inspection.

You can impose these types of blockings:

  • Full block: Full block on warehousing procedures.

  • Interactive block: Override blocking allowed except blocks on confirm shipment or confirm receipt.

If you impose a full block on inbound procedures, the receipt and inbound inspection procedures are not allowed for the warehouse.

If you impose a full block on outbound procedures, the outbound, outbound inspection, and shipment procedures are not allowed for the warehouse.

An interactive block on inbound procedures blocks the confirm receipt step. For the other inbound steps (for goods already received), a warning is displayed and you are prompted to cancel the procedure or to continue.

These are the other inbound steps:

  • Generate and release inbound advice
  • Print and confirm storage lists
  • Put away stock

If you perform the outbound steps of a warehouse transfer and an interactive inbound block is imposed on the receiving warehouse, you are warned that the receiving warehouse is blocked.

An interactive block on outbound procedures blocks the confirm shipment step. For the remaining outbound and shipment steps, a warning is displayed and the user is prompted to cancel the procedure or to continue. Assembly, internal inventory movements and inventory adjustments are also allowed.
