Bring New Life to Your Infor LN & Baan ERP System

Bring New Life to Your ERP System

Did you implement your ERP system 5 or 20 years ago? Back then, it was like a brand-new car—sleek, fast, and efficient. It may have needed minor adjustments, but you were very pleased. Fast forward to today, does it still have that new car smell? Does it run as efficiently as it used to?

While ERP systems are designed to last, your business evolves. Customer needs change, employees come and go, and you are left with a system that may run “fine” but lacks its original spark.

GOOD NEWS: You can restore that “new car smell” with a utilization, or business process review performed by Crossroads RMC's 

What is a Utilization or Business Process Review?

Our consultants review your Infor ERP system's current usage and related business processes to make recommendations that reinvigorate your system and its users.

The Notes Maintenance feature enhancement is made up note programs that are accessible from a central location. The Note Text Maintenance (SYS555), Note Type Maintenance (SYS553) and Multi Language Notes Maintenance (SYS556) programs are all available as menu options. 

The Notes Maintenance feature provides a way to create, revise, delete, and copy note text that are categorized by note types. The print options in Notes Maintenance permit a user to define documents for which the note is intended. This includes base LX documents and custom documents. In addition, the notes program provides a way to define notes by assigning document types.

LX Notes allows the user to go to one location and customize print options, specify user documents, manage multi language notes and manage user-based note security through the defined Security Template program.

Key Performance Indicators measure how effectively your performance objectives are being achieved.

  • Have you defined KPIs for your company?
  • Are you measuring them effectively?
  • Is everyone in your company aware of what the KPIs are?

If you haven’t already done so, consider tying personal performance objectives directly to the company’s performance objectives. Doing so can greatly increase the likelihood that the company’s goals will be met.

Tips: LN | Baan

Instead of sharing tables through logical linking, you can replicate table content between companies. This approach allows certain non-key attributes of a record to vary by company. For example, if you replicate bills of materials rather than sharing them, each company can associate a different warehouse with the same bill of material. This way, the bills of materials are consistent across companies, while the warehouses can differ.

Replication also enables selective availability of records in other companies. For instance, when replicating items, you might limit which items are available in a sales company based on their item group, only including end items. You can further refine replication to specific subsets, such as particular item groups.

Keep in mind that replication requires any referenced tables to be either replicated or shared as well.
