Flexfab Horizons International, Inc, a global leader in the manufacture of high performance silicone and other advanced polimer products, has made the decision to expand their use of Crossroads RMC’s Data Collection Solution, RMC3, to their China location. The initial implementations in Nottinghamshire, UK and the United States took place in 2018, and the China implementation is expected to be completed by Q2 of 2019. All installations focus on improvements in warehouse management in Infor LN. Applications implemented include Receiving, Inspections/Approvals, Putaway, Stock Transfers and Stock Inquiry.

Crossroads RMC partnered with Electrolux Corporation to Connect Baan IVc4 to Vertex 8.0 (O Series), and was able to successfully complete this project in under 3 months. This project was completed using Crossroads RMCconnector as a web service to read the Vertex tax data and pass the information back into Baan for further processing. Triggers were created to handle the following processes:

• Sales Order Lines
• Print/Reprint Order Acknowledgement
• Print Sales Invoice (Both compose and final)
• Purchase Order Lines
• Purchase order Acknowledgement
• Purchase Order invoice
• Manual Finance Invoice (Compose, print and post)
• Post Integration transactions
• Finalize batch

Johnson Crushers International (JCI), a global leader in engineering and manufacturing full lines of cone crushers, horizontal and incline vibrating screens and track-mounted, portable and stationary crushing and screening plants, has selected Crossroads RMC to help them re-implement Infor LN on 10.6.  JCI’s main objectives with this project are to support their continued growth, align and standardize their business processes, and enable a continuous improvement effort to drive additional value to the business. Go live is expected to occur in early Q1 of 2020.

This has come up as an issue during various stages of warehouse material movements – transfers, outbounds, shipments. We have seen it right up to 10.4. The inventory structure table (whinr150) becomes a problem. The error points to that table, but users are lost as to how to fix it.

In the session Units by Unit Set many companies let the field Storage default to Yes. If the UOM is not intended to be used in inventory then that setting should be No. 

If an item is purchased in UOM different from the inventory unit and the setting is Yes then LN adds a record in that UOM to the inventory structure table. It is that record that causes problem later.

The session has an option to change the value of the storage field. Specific > Convert Use for Storage. This option works both ways and will correct all inventory in the UOM range. 

Should a user receive an error that references inventory structure table then the solution is to check that session to see if an odd UOM exists in it. If so use the Convert Use for Storage to correct the problem.

If functionality such as Commissions, Rebates, or Contracts are enabled in the parameters, LN checks this functionality during transactions, even if you did not specify anything for these concepts. Therefore, if you do not use certain functionality within LN, to improve performance, disable the corresponding parameter.
