An ERP System Review is NOT a Report Card

It's a no-judgment-review - we promise!

Kathy Barthelt 0 16638 Article rating: 5.0

report card C minusWe all remember our school days and the nervousness that we felt when it came time to get our grades. Even if we were doing well, we were still nervous. Sometimes we experienced that same nervousness when it came time for a performance review in our job. Nervousness…sometimes dread…knowing that our performance maybe was not what we wanted it to be, or others expected it to be. 

Somehow I think the feelings that we felt in our past often find ways to creep into our present. I have seen this recently when I suggested an ERP system review to one of our customers. They immediately became flustered and thought about every possible problem that they knew existed within the software and how they were currently using it.

An ERP system review or more specifically a Utilization Review is NOT a personal report card, or performance review showing how well a particular individual does his/hers/their job, nor is it an attack on the team that implemented the software. 

An ERP Utilization Review will:

Infor LN & Baan Finance Tip: Unallocated Payment

Kathy Barthelt 0 19967 Article rating: 5.0

How do I assign an unallocated payment to a purchase invoice when the document dates are not the same?

When trying to assign an unallocated payment, it is possible that the purchase invoice is not displayed in session Assign Unallocated / Advance Payments to Invoices (tfcmg2106s000), even though it is showing in the open entries. This can happen when the document date of the unallocated payment lies before the document date of the purchase invoice you want to assign it to. There are 2 ways to handle this...

Infor LX & BPCS Tip: What items should be M-P-S planned vs. M-R-P planned?

George Moroses 0 19532 Article rating: 5.0

Master Scheduled Items are those items that are finished goods, or service items, that receive their requirements either specifically from Independent demand, or both Dependent and Independent demand.

  • Independent Demand is demand that cannot be calculated from higher-level demand in the product structure, and therefore must be either a forecast or an actual customer order (Finished Goods or Service parts sold to customers).
  • Dependent demand.....

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Did you know that you can set up one-time vendors in LX? One Time Vendor (1,A): Specify Y to indicate that this vendor is a one-time vendor. Otherwise, could you specify N. The system removes a one-time vendor's information from the Vendor Master file after all transactions are reconciled. If this vendor already exists as a one-time vendor, you can specify N to change the vendor to a regular vendor.

Determining whether to use Master Production Schedule (MPS) planning or Material Requirements Planning (MRP) planning for items in Infor LX and BPCS involves understanding the nature of the items and their demand characteristics.

Master Scheduled Items typically encompass finished goods or service items. These items receive their requirements either from Independent demand, Dependent demand, or a combination of both...

“Sorry, boss. We can’t help you move the business forward.”

Infor LX | BPCS | Infor LN | Baan

Imagine saying that to your boss, or the president of your company. What would their response be? Do you think that he or she would say, “It’s ok, we can wait to implement this big initiative that will likely save us a ton of money and move us ahead of the competition... No problem… let me know when you have time to work on it.”  Pretty unlikely. They want you to add something else to the top of your already overloaded to-do list. Am I right? 

Well, you do it, because it is the right thing to do and is important to the business, but what happens to everything else that you were SUPPOSED to be working on? Those tasks end up sitting on your to-do list... forever.  

What if they didn’t have to? What if you could pivot to work on highly important projects that drive your business forward and all the while continue to address the lower priority items that STILL need to get done? You can do this with outsourced IT and ERP support services.

As you know, the management of ERP systems is fairly complex and time-consuming, and you always need to be one step ahead to identify, prevent and resolve issues before they become a problem. Can you really afford to abandon this work in lieu of something else?

Crossroads RMC offers a full range of support services to provide 24 X 7 X 365 coverage to handle the most challenging of support issues down to the most mundane. We handle everything from installing software updates to maintaining highly customized environments to determining the source of a financial integration error, to figuring out why the items you just produced are not accurately reflected in inventory.

You name it, we can tackle it. 38 years of working with manufacturers and Infor ERP systems say we can, and so do our customers.
