Did you know that when you move to LX 8.4, 100 series maintenance will be performed using the IDF maintenance programs, and the green screens go away? However, if you have the IDF integrator with 8.3.4 or 8.3.5, you have the ability to create business objects over your own data files along with creating maintenance programs. This would be a great way modernize any old green screen file maintenance that you currently have.

OTTO: How to get started? It’s easy!

Anthony Etzel 0 32764 Article rating: 5.0

The evaluation process for business operations improvements and related software is normally fairly long because it takes time to first understand the software and then to analyze how it will be used. However, how the software works won't truly be understood until it is actually functioning in either a live environment or a simulation of that environment using a reasonably complete test database. 

In order to overcome this challenge we use the following process:

  • Telephone meeting to discuss needs.
  • Webinar to determine common understanding.
  • Load data into OTTO for a live demo.
  • No-obligation trial of the software.

Your only obligation is to supply resources to evaluate OTTO's capabilities. This approach allows you to see exactly how OTTO operates in your specific environment and what benefits you can gain. Several of our customers have actually realized sufficient benefits during the trial-period to justify their purchase of OTTO. Best of all, this evaluation approach offers you extremely low cost and low risk with the potential for high payback in a short period of time.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Purchase Order Receive All Processing

Anthony Etzel 0 59744 Article rating: 5.0

With this enhancement the Purchase Receipts screens are optionally shown with the quantity and weight fields populated with the open value on the purchase order. The screens are now populated with the open value and if the open value is the same as the value received, the user can simply accept the line. The Receive All field on the PUR550D1-01 screen determines whether the receipt lines are populated with the open value. A system parameter controls the Receive All default value but the default value can be overridden.  

If this option is selected, the user does not have to enter the open quantity or weight. If the purchase order receipt has many lines, this option saves time and prevents errors.

Streamline Your Shipping Processes – Boost Efficiency and Reduce Errors

with RMCship

Are you manually entering shipping data between your Baan or Infor LN system and UPS/FedEx? If so, you’re likely facing challenges with efficiency, accuracy, and wasted time on redundant tasks. We understand these pain points and want to introduce a solution to transform your workflow: RMCship.

According to a recent report by The Manufacturer and IBM, 92% of manufacturers are prioritizing efficiency. However, the manual entry of shipment details—like transportation mode, weight, and tracking numbers—into logistics systems, only to re-enter data back into Baan and Infor LN, is a major bottleneck. This process not only consumes valuable time but also increases the risk of costly errors and delays in shipping and invoicing.

Here’s how RMCship can help:

  • Eliminate Redundant Data Entry: RMCship integrates seamlessly with Baan IV, Baan V, and Infor LN to automatically send shipment details to UPS and FedEx. Once the shipment is prepared, tracking data, freight costs, and other pertinent information are automatically updated with your ERP.

  • Save Valuable Time: By automating data transfer, RMCship can rescue between 1.5 to 2.5 hours per day, 30-50 hours a month.

  • Reduce Errors and Shipping Delays: RMCship removes manual entry, reducing errors and ensuring shipping and invoicing happen promptly. Faster invoicing means improved cash flow and better customer satisfaction.

  • Access Real-Time Shipping Information: With instant updates on shipping details, your customer service team can access real-time information to enhance customer communication.

Why RMCship?

RMCship offers a complete integration solution for Baan and Infor LN systems, enabling you to streamline your shipping processes from start to finish. With on-premise and cloud deployment options, RMCship adapts to your needs, whether you're handling single, partial, or multiple order shipments per carton or pallet.

Don’t let inefficiencies hold you back. Automate your shipping workflow with RMCship, and see the difference in operational speed, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.
