About this talk

Bring the future into closer focus If you are like most manufacturers today, managing your planning and scheduling resources has become a major challenge. The disrupted supply chain, workforce availability, equipment capacity, sporadic market demand, and changing customer expectations all contribute to the complexities of planning. Having the right resources available is essential for keeping production flowing and ensuring customers receive orders on time. In this session we will focus on Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) capabilities within CloudSuite Industrial. Our Infor expert will share: - What APS is, how it varies from traditional Manufacturing Resource Planning and the difference between Planning and Scheduling within CSI. - The basic configuration requirements needed to effectively utilize APS and available-to-promise/capable-to-promise (ATP/CTP) functionality. We'll also look at the key differences between these solutions - Examples of advanced applications that help identify accurate and reliable commitment dates.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Role-Based Security introduces Role type profiles and allows combining the use of Role profiles with the traditional LX User type security profile functionality. The new Role type profile can be defined to allow or deny access to All Products, Attention Key, Products, Programs, and Transaction Effects. Facility, Warehouse, and Company securities are still defined solely by the User profile settings and are not affected by the assignment of a Role. Where applicable, the Role authority is displayed alongside the User authority on the security profile maintenance screens making it easy to see where there are differences in authority between the User and the assigned Roles. 

When Users are assigned to Roles, security access in LX becomes a combination of authorities granted or denied by the Role, plus any User Exceptions. User Exceptions override authorities set by the Roles. A User can also be assigned to more than one Role.

Tips: LN | Baan

If you do not wish to define a detailed mapping to various ledger accounts for specific integration transactions, you can map the corresponding integration document type to a default account. All the transactions of the integration document type for which an account cannot be determined based on the mapping scheme details, are posted to the default account.

 

The mapping of an integration document type to a default account is direct, without the need for element groups and mapping elements. No distinction is made on any of the transaction details.

 

Default accounts can be used in two ways:

  • Instead of a detailed mapping to various ledger accounts. All the transactions are posted to the same account. For example, all warehouse receipts are posted to the Inventory ledger account, without any distinction.
  • In addition to a detailed mapping. If a transaction cannot be mapped based on the detailed mapping scheme, it is posted to the default account.

A cluster is a group of one or more warehouses in a particular geographical area. You can plan an item by cluster (geographical area).

To enable this, you can set up multiple plan items for one item. You always define one plan item without a cluster indication and multiple plan items with a cluster indication. A plan item with a cluster is called a clustered plan item, and a plan item without cluster is called the non-clustered plan item.

The plan items in the clusters can be supplied not only by distribution, but also through purchase and production. In this way, you can, for example, plan local purchasing in a cluster (geographical area). You can also plan supply from multiple sources.
