LN & Baan Tip: Unlocking Efficiency: Embrace Cycle Counting for Smoother Inventory Management

When it comes to inventory management, the term "Manual Physical Inventory" might sound accurate, but it's not the best practice by any means. Instead, consider implementing "Cycle Counting" as a more efficient approach.

Why choose Cycle Counting over a full physical inventory? The key advantage is that Cycle Counting allows you to focus on counting a selected range of stock concurrently with your regular business operations. This method streamlines inventory management, minimizing disruptions to processes related to stock receiving, consumption, and dispatching.

With Cycle Counting, you no longer need to "freeze" your operations or have your staff work long hours during holidays. You can achieve accurate inventory counts throughout the year. Crossroads RMC is here to assist you in implementing Cycle Counting efficiently and seamlessly. Contact us today to get started at 800.762.2077. Say goodbye to the dreaded three words and embrace a more efficient inventory management approach!

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

In the Shop Floor Control Module, you have the ability to key in both direct labor and indirect labor. However you want to establish specific types (reasons) for the indirect labor. The SFC600 labor entry program shows a reason code field, but it is designed for reject quantity and machine downtime reasons, not indirect labor reasons.

There is a way around this. With an MES solution you have the ability to setup and report indirect time against a specific reason code.

You can see the status of the Shop Order when using SFC300 Shop Order Inquiry. You want to be sure that your shop orders are at the correct status in order to report against them.

The following are the shop order status codes:

04 = The Shop order has been entered.

05 = The Shop order has been released and printed.

14 = The Shop order has been released, but not printed. If a shop order is at this status, you have released it and it is not printed due to a system failure, or the order has been put on hold.

XX = The Shop order is closed.
