Infor LN & Baan Tip: Navigating the Complexities of Surcharges on Phantom Items in Manufacturing

Is it ok to define surcharges on phantom items?

It is advised not to use surcharges on phantom items for the following reasons:

  1. The usage of phantom surcharges makes it, in general, more difficult to understand, verify, and explain the result of the cost price calculation.
  2. Real phantom items do not exist in real life. It is only an efficient way to specify the BOM. It is therefore questionable if surcharges should be defined for these non-existing phantom items.
  3. The usage of phantom surcharges can lead to variances in production orders, depending on the actual usage of the phantom.
  4. When surcharges based on added costs are defined for both the main item and the phantom item, then the surcharge will be applied twice.

Alternatives are:

  • Define the required surcharges on the main item of the phantom.
  • Define the required surcharges on the sub-item of the phantom.
  • Define a (backflush) operation on the phantom to cover the handling costs (if any) of a phantom item.

The Enterprise Item application in the Infor Development Framework for Infor LX supports display of all information relevant to an item. This includes numerous aspects of Inventory, including facility, warehouse, location, lot, and container data.

With the Enterprise Items application, you can customize the data displayed to include more or less data than is currently displayed using the standard Infor LX programs. You can access this information through a single point of entry, so there is no need to switch from one program to another to see all the data you require. This ability to customize will help streamline your decisions by allowing you to display information that is specific to your needs.

The various Enterprise Item application cards provide listings, maintenance type information, and current information that you could previously only access by running multiple standard Infor LX programs, such as Material Status Inquiry (INV300), Bill of Material Inquiry (BOM300), and Routing Inquiry (SFC100).

This enhancement to the Purchase Receipts screens; optionally shown with the quantity and weight fields populated with the open value on the purchase order. Previously the user had to manually enter the quantity received or, for a dynamic weight and measure items, the weight received for each line on the purchase order. Now the screens are 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 the user specifies 1=Yes in the Receive All field then the PUR550D2-02 screen displays the open quantity or weight for each line. The user can accept the open value for each line.
