Infor LX & BPCS Manufacturing Tip: Shop Calendar Maintenance – SFC140D1

Shop calendar maintenance, SFC140D1 This program features multiple-level shop calendar maintenance. You can maintain a shop calendar at the global, facility, or work center level. Global level entries override default values found in Work Center Maintenance, CAP100D1, for any program that uses the shop calendar.

Facility overrides affect all work centers in a Facility and are exceptions to the global level. Exceptions defined at the Facility level apply to all work centers for the facility. Work Center calendar entries are the most specific. These entries apply to a single work center and override any Global or Facility conditions.

If you have deleted a work center in Work Center Maintenance, CAP100D1, you cannot delete its shop calendar. The system treats the work center shop calendar like a global calendar for that year. If you try to delete it, you will delete the global shop calendar for that year.

Range processing provides daily or weekly maintenance of all overrides for a period of up to one year with a single command.

The following explains how Infor LX uses calendars for manufactured and purchased parts planning:

  • Infor LX treats purchased and manufactured parts in the same way.
  • Infor LX does not use the work center calendar.
  • In facility planning, Infor LX uses the facility calendar.
  • If the global calendar has additional days blocked out relative to the facility calendar, MRP/MPS plans consider both the facility and global days-off.


In all cases, the system uses the item master/CIC lead time parameter to determine the release date for the planned order regarding the due date from the forecast or parent demand. The system considers days blocked out in the facility and global calendars when it determines the planned order release date.

Example: Assume the entire system (Global) has a specific date set as a regular workday. If one particular Facility recognizes this day as a holiday, no hours are available on work centers within that facility. If conditions at one work center are an exception to this holiday, that work center can be maintained with its own set of conditions.

Simulation Mode

The Shop Calendar Selection/Maintenance Simulation program, MRP747B, uses the Shop Calendar Maintenance programs, SFC140D, in a simulation mode. The MRP program allows you to maintain shop calendar information to simulate capacity planning and to view the results before you use the data in live capacity planning.

When you run MPS by facility, you cannot maintain global calendars. This safeguard prevents a user from unintentionally overwriting the live global calendar if the user runs Copy to Live, MRP770D.

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:

In the ever-evolving landscape of manufacturing, cyber threats have become a formidable challenge, with a notable spike in ransomware attacks catching many off guard. These sophisticated attacks deploy tactics that are often new and bewildering to manufacturers, pushing the boundaries of what we thought we knew about cybersecurity in the industry. Let's dive into how these advanced threats are reshaping our approach to digital defense in manufacturing.

Tips: LN | Baan

Many transactions in all kinds of modules use order numbers or serial numbers. These order numbers are most often automatically generated. In the Number Groups (tcmcs0151m000) session you can define groups of order numbers used for dedicated areas. A Number Group is a group of the first free number series that you can assign to a specific use. All the numbers that Infor LN generates in the number groups that are dedicated to the same purpose are unique.

All the first free numbers are stored in the table tcmcs050.

As many different processes can request a free number from the number groups, we often see delays in the performance, due to locking on the first free number records. This locking issue can have a severe impact on the performance of huge batch-type transactions, but also on the performance perceived by individual users in many areas in LN.

For example:
