Baan/LN Tip of the Week: ERP Setup - Pros & Cons

You may have started your setup of your ERP system one way, and have discovered over time that maybe it no longer fits how you need to do business. Here are some pros/cons to consider for a Single Finance / Multi-Logistic setup.

 

Pros/Cons of Single Finance / Multi-Logistic Company Set-Up

Pros
All accounting functions are centralized into one company. One balance sheet is generated – even though multiple logistics sites are involved. Income statements can be generated by logistic company via use of a Dimension to represent the logistic company.
Allows logistical functions to be decentralized within one legal entity – if this is what is desired.
Logistics data not visible across companies – pro if you do not want users to see other company’s data.

 

Cons

Decentralized operations – purchasing, sales, manufacturing, planning, warehousing, etc.
Logistics data not visible across companies – con if you do want users to see other company’s data.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

With this enhancement the Purchase Receipts screens are optionally shown with the quantity and weight fields populated with the open value on the purchase order. The screens are now populated with the open value and if the open value is the same as the value received, the user can simply accept the line. The Receive All field on the PUR550D1-01 screen determines whether the receipt lines are populated with the open value. A system parameter controls the Receive All default value but the default value can be overridden.  

If this option is selected, the user does not have to enter the open quantity or weight. If the purchase order receipt has many lines, this option saves time and prevents errors.

This enhancement allows users to restrict access to purchase order print programs. The purchase order print programs were updated to provide security validation for the user who selects the purchase orders to print. The security validation is controlled by the PO Print Security Validation flag on the Purchasing System Parameters screen, PUR820D-04. This enhancement gives users the option to restrict access to purchase order print programs, providing additional security at the company and warehouse levels.
