Baan/LN Tip of the Week: ERP Setup - Pros & Cons

You may have started your setup of your ERP system one way, and have discovered over time that maybe it no longer fits how you need to do business. Here are some pros/cons to consider for a Single Finance / Multi-Logistic setup.

 

Pros/Cons of Single Finance / Multi-Logistic Company Set-Up

Pros
All accounting functions are centralized into one company. One balance sheet is generated – even though multiple logistics sites are involved. Income statements can be generated by logistic company via use of a Dimension to represent the logistic company.
Allows logistical functions to be decentralized within one legal entity – if this is what is desired.
Logistics data not visible across companies – pro if you do not want users to see other company’s data.

 

Cons

Decentralized operations – purchasing, sales, manufacturing, planning, warehousing, etc.
Logistics data not visible across companies – con if you do want users to see other company’s data.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

If you opt to summarize transactions, do so after a period of testing so that you can be certain that all models and aliases are working to your satisfaction. When you summarize, consider ‘Summary with Detail’ because this retains the detail transactions in GLH.

Are you still using handwritten tickets for your inventory?  This method of inventory tracking is slow and prone to human error.

Putting a simple barcode system in place speeds up the process of tracking inventory movements, reduces the likelihood of mistakes, and creates a recorded history of the who/what/where that can provide valuable insight to those who make critical business decisions for your business.

Not sure where to start? Contact us and we’d be happy to help you take the first step.
