Streamline Your Shipping Processes – Boost Efficiency and Reduce Errors

with RMCship

Are you manually entering shipping data between your Baan or Infor LN system and UPS/FedEx? If so, you’re likely facing challenges with efficiency, accuracy, and wasted time on redundant tasks. We understand these pain points and want to introduce a solution to transform your workflow: RMCship.

According to a recent report by The Manufacturer and IBM, 92% of manufacturers are prioritizing efficiency. However, the manual entry of shipment details—like transportation mode, weight, and tracking numbers—into logistics systems, only to re-enter data back into Baan and Infor LN, is a major bottleneck. This process not only consumes valuable time but also increases the risk of costly errors and delays in shipping and invoicing.

Here’s how RMCship can help:

  • Eliminate Redundant Data Entry: RMCship integrates seamlessly with Baan IV, Baan V, and Infor LN to automatically send shipment details to UPS and FedEx. Once the shipment is prepared, tracking data, freight costs, and other pertinent information are automatically updated with your ERP.

  • Save Valuable Time: By automating data transfer, RMCship can rescue between 1.5 to 2.5 hours per day, 30-50 hours a month.

  • Reduce Errors and Shipping Delays: RMCship removes manual entry, reducing errors and ensuring shipping and invoicing happen promptly. Faster invoicing means improved cash flow and better customer satisfaction.

  • Access Real-Time Shipping Information: With instant updates on shipping details, your customer service team can access real-time information to enhance customer communication.

Why RMCship?

RMCship offers a complete integration solution for Baan and Infor LN systems, enabling you to streamline your shipping processes from start to finish. With on-premise and cloud deployment options, RMCship adapts to your needs, whether you're handling single, partial, or multiple order shipments per carton or pallet.

Don’t let inefficiencies hold you back. Automate your shipping workflow with RMCship, and see the difference in operational speed, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.

Understanding: The Cycle Count Transaction

If you rely on BPCS to provide you with a cycle count list, the number of items could vary from day to day from a few items to count, to several. So the person doing the cycle counting may spend a few minutes to a few hours counting items. After the cycle count is complete, the balances are not changed until the reconciliation is complete. This process could take some time before the balances are changed.

The cycle count transaction process is similar to the physical inventory transaction process.

For either file, you must specify a valid location code as defined in the Location Master File.

If the machine master locations are blank, then the work center locations are used. There are cases where you may want to do a combination between the two in defining the locations.

Let’s say the end item has one operation. The operation is at work center 510 and Machine A is in the work center. You have locations setup in both the Work center file and the Machine master File. You report 100 complete at the work center without specifying the machine.

In this case, the inventory will be processed based on the locations defined in the work center file. If the transaction included the machine number, then the locations in the machine file would be used.

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.
