Did you implement your ERP system 5 years ago… or maybe 20 years ago? At the time, it was like a brand new car… sleek, fast, top-of-the-line, and fuel-efficient. And although it may have needed a few minor “adjustments”, overall you were very pleased. Fast forward to today. Does it still have that new car smell? Does it run as efficiently as it used to? Do you know how to fix a problem when it occurs?

While ERP systems are certainly designed to last, over time, your business changes, your customers’ needs change, employees change and you are left with a system that may run “fine”, but you certainly don’t feel the same way about it as you did when it was brand new.

So the good news is that you CAN restore that “new car smell” with a utilization review, or business process review.

What is a Utilization or Business Process Review and Why Do I Need One?
Simply put, a business process review is an exercise designed to help businesses identify areas of improvement to become more agile, efficient, and streamlined.

Does my organization need a Business Process Review? 

While every company could benefit from conducting a business process review, it's only worth the time and effort if you have a specific problem you're trying to solve or a goal you are trying to achieve. Furthermore, and perhaps most importantly, organizations must be ready and willing to make changes. 

That's why a business process review is critical; it helps align processes, define goals, and thoughtfully plan and build solutions that help businesses achieve actual growth.

Our consultant reviews the current usage and related business processes of your entire Infor ERP system, or a particular area like Finance, Manufacturing, Materials Management, or Technology to make recommendations that will reinvigorate your Infor ERP system and those that use it.

Other benefits include:

  • Creating a consistent way of working across the business
  • Automating processes to reduce effort and increase productivity
  • Improving decision-making capability by providing access to real-time, reliable, and accurate information
  • Creating opportunities to improve your customer service levels and response times
  • Increasing your ability to attract and retain quality staff

Your ERP system may require some engine work, or it may just require an oil change and an expert to look everything over to make sure things are running smoothly. Either way – whether this is a project you take on internally or decide that you need some expert guidance from a company like Crossroads RMC, it is worth the time and investment to ensure peak performance.

Business process reviews can be performed 100% remotely via phone or web meeting, or in person – you choose what works best for your team.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Improves control over PO costing changes during invoice entry by replacing passive warnings with an intentional override action.

  • In ACP500D3 (Invoice Entry PO Costing), users previously could unintentionally accept changes by pressing ENTER, even when quantity to cost or amount to cost values had changed.

  • A new “F14 to Override” warning message replaces the old message:
    “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”
    This ensures users acknowledge and confirm significant changes explicitly.

New System Parameter:

  • “Apply GRN Costing Tolerance for PO Costing” (optional):

    • Within tolerance: Displays the original message —
      “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”

    • Outside tolerance: Triggers the new override requirement —
      “F14 to Override”

Benefits:

  • Enhances oversight and reduces unintentional cost acceptance.

  • Enables better control of PO costs when invoice details differ from expectations.
