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!

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.
