Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Order Quantity Dependent Routings vs Default Routings

Order quantity-dependent routings

An automatically selected routing tailored to a specific production order quantity is useful. An example would be if the production order quantity is large, a routing with high production rates is used; If the order quantity is small, another routing is selected.

You can set up these quantity-dependent routings:

  • Select the Quantity-dependent Routing check box in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session.
  • Enter the routing codes in the Item - Routings (tirou1101m000) session. Enter the maximum quantity for which a routing is valid in the Up to Quantity field.

Note: If multisite functionality is activated, the routings available may vary per site on the job shop bill of material selected. Differences in routings have an impact on the standard cost calculation.

Default routing

If the Quantity-dependent Routing check box is not selected, the default routing applies to an item. However, this default routing must also be linked to the item. To find out, LN checks the default routing code in the Default Routing field of the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session. Next, LN checks whether the default routing code is linked to the item in the Item - Routings (tirou1101m000) session. If so, the default routing applies to the item. If the default routing is not linked to the item, no routing is used.

Previously, Material Requirements Planning (MRP) preferred practices meant that the component’s due date was the same as the parent’s shop order release date. Because MRP trends have changed, the preference for this due date is the day before the release date of the parent. Although Infor LX already has this functionality in Shop Order Maintenance programs (SFC500), users could not change how due dates were determined for lower level shop orders in Multi-Level Shop Order Release, SFC530D.

This enhancement provides an additional parameter for Multi-Level Shop Order Release. This parameter allows the user to change how the due date of the child components is determined. The user is now able change how the due date is determined for multi-level shop orders. If the Due Date of Children parameter is set to 1=Yes, the due date of the child components is the same as the release date of the parent. If the parameter is set to 0=No, the due date is the day before the release date of the parent.

Table Timestamp Definitions (ttadv4136m000)

Use this session to define timestamps for Infor LN tables. A timestamp is an additional column that stores the date and time of the last change for each record.

Timestamps are utilized by features like the extraction logic of CPM Enterprise Analytics. They enable CPM to perform incremental data extractions. For example, CPM can use the timestamps to extract records that were changed during the last week in a weekly extraction process.

To Create Timestamps...

Operations: To absorb the cost of cost items into specific projects, you'll need to handle them as customized items. However, cost items cannot directly be defined as customized items. Customized items must be physical, either manufactured or purchased.

That said, it's still possible to absorb cost items into a project, although indirectly. Here's how:

  1. Set Up Ledger Account: First, create a new ledger account in session tfgld0508m000 and set the type to "PCS" (project) in the operations management integrations. This account will be used for matching and approving purchase orders for cost items.

  2. Create and Activate Projects: Ensure that the necessary projects are created and set to active status.

  3. Purchasing Cost Items...
