“Sorry, boss. We can’t help you move the business forward.”

Infor LX | BPCS | Infor LN | Baan

Imagine saying that to your boss, or the president of your company. What would their response be? Do you think that he or she would say, “It’s ok, we can wait to implement this big initiative that will likely save us a ton of money and move us ahead of the competition... No problem… let me know when you have time to work on it.”  Pretty unlikely. They want you to add something else to the top of your already overloaded to-do list. Am I right? 

Well, you do it, because it is the right thing to do and is important to the business, but what happens to everything else that you were SUPPOSED to be working on? Those tasks end up sitting on your to-do list... forever.  

What if they didn’t have to? What if you could pivot to work on highly important projects that drive your business forward and all the while continue to address the lower priority items that STILL need to get done? You can do this with outsourced IT and ERP support services.

As you know, the management of ERP systems is fairly complex and time-consuming, and you always need to be one step ahead to identify, prevent and resolve issues before they become a problem. Can you really afford to abandon this work in lieu of something else?

Crossroads RMC offers a full range of support services to provide 24 X 7 X 365 coverage to handle the most challenging of support issues down to the most mundane. We handle everything from installing software updates to maintaining highly customized environments to determining the source of a financial integration error, to figuring out why the items you just produced are not accurately reflected in inventory.

You name it, we can tackle it. 38 years of working with manufacturers and Infor ERP systems say we can, and so do our customers.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Understanding: How many hours remain in total and at each operation?

First let’s look at some key BPCS Master File data starting with the routing file.

How many routing steps (operations) are set up that reflect how the product is produced in the factory? If you take a short cut and set up only one operation for the entire process, then you will limit the information seen on the SO inquiry program. Set up the operation steps to reflect what you want to report back to from the factory floor.

Will each of the routing steps run in one work center, or in different work centers? To keep it simple you may want to set up work centers as departments. For example:

  • Assembly
  • Machine
  • Paint
  • Etc.

For each operation setup consider how you have set up the following:

  • Load Codes – for example a code 5 is used if reporting both setup time and run labor time. These codes are maintained in the work center file
  • Basis Code – typical codes are P for pieces per hour,  3 is used for hours per 1,000 pieces
  • Setup hours – if you set them up, you also want to report them
  • Run hours – Direct Labor
  • Machine hours

How you set up th

Came across an article online from Lauber CFO’s, and thought I would share. Here is a checklist for things to consider in order to finish out the year and help you plan for 2016:

 

  • Are your accounting records up to date so that you can make a projection of how the current year will turn out?
  • Are all account reconciliations currently up to date to facilitate the closing of the books after year end?
  • Are there accounts receivable that should be reserved for or written off prior to the end of the year?
  • If your business carries inventory, do you need to plan a physical count as of the end of the year?
  • Has depreciation on your fixed assets been recorded during the year? Have you considered depreciation on current year additions?
  • Have all new asset purchases and bank loans been recorded on your books?
  • Are there any liabilities, for example, pending legal actions or warranty issues, which will need to be recorded prior to year end? 
  • Do you have a plan in place to properly “cut-off” revenue at year end to properly match revenue and expense?
  • Will there be bonuses, profit sharing contributions or discretionary retirement plan contributions paid prior to the end of the year? How will these payments affect cash f
