An ERP System Review is NOT a Report Card

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

Kathy Barthelt 0 16497 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.

Kathy Barthelt 0 19876 Article rating: 5.0

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

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 19401 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...

Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Automated Approach to Your Cash Application Process with ARP

Advanced Remittance Processing, ARP, provides an automated approach to your cash application process. ARP works together with Accounts Receivable to save valuable time and resources by automatically applying incoming payments to open receivables during daily batch processing. You can easily and efficiently resolve unapplied remittances online.

Advanced Remittance Processing (ARP) is an automatic cash application process that allows you to perform the following functions:

  • Receive lockbox deposits electronically from your banks on the day the payments are deposited
  • Automatically apply the majority of the day's receipts to open items in accounts receivable in one batch process
  • Perform online disposition of exceptions the system encounters during the automatic cash application process
  • Generate a complete set of daily reports and maintain historical deposit and payment information online to allow you to audit all cash applications

The ARP automatic cash application process can be summarized in a series of operations that highlight the labor savings provided. ARP processing requires some setup to ensure that the process operates as efficiently as possible.

ARP allows you to perform the following operations:

  • Receive/Edit Bank Transmission of Lockbox Deposits
  • Identify/Assign Customer Numbers
  • Select Customer Open Items
  • Summarize Open Items Extracted
  • Check Application Against Open Items
  • Produce Reports Recapping Check Application Process
  • Create Disposition and On-Account Payment Records
  • Report Check Differences
  • Create Applied Checks Interface Records to Accounts Receivable
  • Flag Disposition Records as Temporarily Paid on Ledger File
  • Update A/R Ledger and Audit Files
  • Open Item Extraction
