The Best BPCS | Infor LX Manufacturing Reports to Analyze Company Performance

You know what ERP data you need to analyze your company’s production health, but sometimes it is a struggle to get that data in a format that is meaningful. Here are some reports in BPCS & Infor LX which you may find useful.

As is the case with most ERP reports, with each version progression from the earliest versions of BPCS to the latest version of Infor LX, there are improvements in selection criteria and report content. Some may require some setup and others may require some formatting if you would like to export them to Excel. Contact me if you have questions or need assistance.

BPCS & LX MANUFACTURING:

BPCS / Infor LX:

  • CST270 – Shop Order Cost Variance & WIP Report
    • This is by far the best total picture of what happened on any Shop Order from several perspectives (cost/efficiency/overall performance).
       
  • INV220 – Stock Status Summary & INV210 – Turnover Analysis
    • ​Both of these reports give you a view of how your inventory is moving to use as a measurement of the Planning Settings and which items need closer review.

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.
