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

I’m not talking “Modus Operandi,” which is a fancy way to say: “what’s your plan to get stuff done”.  I’m talking about Manufacturing Optimization. 

It is all about efficiency, and by that I mean doing more with less. Less labor, less time, less materials, while still delivering a high quality product on time.

The Three Secrets to Improving your MO

1. Identify the key metrics
You need benchmark data so you know what realistic goals are, then track them and publish your performance along with a brief comment from time to time on how things are trending and how you compare with others, particularly your primary competitors. The best thing about this is that it is a system that develops a life of its own.

2. Measure it
Automatically, people start to think about improving things. Then the fun part, stuff begins to improve by itself. Once in place, the system just hums along and the benefits appear, because it has motivated people to think about it, and figure out what they can do to make it better.

3. Communicate it
So if you publish gross profit numbers, explain to people how what they do affects the numbers. Employees tend to start to modify their behavior as a result, and look more critically at whether a given purchase is even necessary.

Scrap and rework costs are a manufacturing reality impacting organizations across all industries and product lines.

Scrap and rework costs are caused by many things—when the wrong parts are ordered, when engineering changes aren’t effectively communicated or when designs aren’t properly executed on the manufacturing line.

No matter why scrap and rework occurs, its impact on an organization is always the same—wasted time and money. And while no one, especially an operations manager, wants to admit it, these expenses add up quickly and negatively impact the bottom line...

Tips: LN | Baan

Instead of sharing tables through logical linking, you can replicate table content between companies. This approach allows certain non-key attributes of a record to vary by company. For example, if you replicate bills of materials rather than sharing them, each company can associate a different warehouse with the same bill of material. This way, the bills of materials are consistent across companies, while the warehouses can differ.

Replication also enables selective availability of records in other companies. For instance, when replicating items, you might limit which items are available in a sales company based on their item group, only including end items. You can further refine replication to specific subsets, such as particular item groups.

Keep in mind that replication requires any referenced tables to be either replicated or shared as well.
