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

FINANCE: Default Billing Reason Code from User Order Class
This enhancement allows users to define a Default Billing Reason Code by User Order Class in addition to the Base Order Class. User Order Classes provide configurability for order processing events and the documents to be printed during those events. This enhancement allows users to configure different Billing Reason Codes for each User Order Class. If no specific code is defined, the system will default to the Billing Reason Code set up for the Base Order Class.

TECHNOLOGY:  Security Manager
New LX security type "M" for an LX Security Manager. Authority is similar to that of an LX Security Office (type "S"), but without the automatic authority to execute every LX program, and without the authority to change the authorizations of Security Officers and Security Managers. Users defined as LX security managers have authority to maintain security information for users other than themselves, but are only allowed to access regular LX programs if granted authority by an LX security officer.

OPERATIONS: Track all order holds added & released
Enhancement: Order Hold Audit Functionality
This enhancement introduces an audit file to track all holds added or released for customer orders. The audit file includes details for various types of holds: credit hold, margin hold, customer hold, user hold, and credit card hold. All applications that add or release a hold now write an audit record, capturing the user, date, time, and program associated with each hold action.

A new IDF Order Hold Audit Inquiry application allows users to review holds based on various criteria:

  • Hold type
  • User
  • Specific order
  • Transactions for a customer within a date range
  • Other combinations

Additionally, the selected data can be printed if desired.
