Does your Baan or Infor LN system still lack integration with UPS and FedEx?

Efficiency is a recurring topic within the manufacturing sector, often highlighted in articles and discussions with manufacturers. According to a recent comprehensive report by The Manufacturer and IBM, a substantial 92% of manufacturers prioritize enhancing efficiency as their primary business imperative. By bolstering efficiency, manufacturers can effectively curtail costs, augment throughput, and thereby enhance their competitive edge.

A notable approach to enhance efficiency involves the elimination of redundant processes, particularly the manual input of data from systems like Baan and Infor LN to third-party logistics systems such as UPS or FedEx. These third-party systems necessitate comprehensive details regarding the shipment, encompassing shipment particulars, transportation mode, weight, quantity, and more. Subsequently, once the shipment is prepared, the tracking number, freight expenses, and other pertinent information must be painstakingly entered back into Baan and Infor LN. This is a pivotal step in facilitating the processing of sales orders and, ultimately, the invoicing of customers. Regrettably, this process consumes a significant amount of time, is prone to errors, and contributes to delays in both the shipping and invoicing processes.

Why invest unnecessary time and effort when the entire workflow can be streamlined through automation, whether on-premise or in the cloud, with RMCship?

This program allows maintenance of vendor terms, which you individually assign to each vendor. Vendor terms designate the due date and the discount date as a number of days after the invoice date. You establish the discount percentage here. Vendor terms are stored in the AVT file. Rather than use the method specified above, you can override due dates and discount dates so those calendar days are used to age invoices.

Use this program to enter period overhead expenses to distribute to various work centers. You can set up this overhead cost allocation on either a per-hour or a per-piece basis, depending on the overhead allocation type specified for each work center on the Work Center Maintenance screen, CAP100D2-01. The system spreads the amounts entered across all shop orders posted by Shop Floor Posting, SFC600, or Production Reporting, JIT600, when you run Overhead Cost Allocation, CST510. The system stores allocated overhead in the Labor Ticket file, FLT, and updates actual item cost when you run Shop Order Close and Post, CST900.
