Is Your ERP System Hurting Your Business?

The Importance of an Integrated System

It could be if your ERP system isn't integrated with other systems that contain mission-critical business data.

Having data in two (or more) systems that don’t talk to one another is like baking a pizza crust in one oven and the toppings in another. Once baked, you may have food to snack on, but it sure isn’t pizza! Pizza requires the cheese, sauce and spices to bake with the crust, so all the flavors meld together when you take that first delicious bite. 

That’s the value of an integrated ERP system. When you take a bite, you get a complete representation of the flavors… meaning, you get one version of the truth. Everything comes together, so you can analyze critical business data in the most efficient way with no disconnects.

Crossroads RMC's Consultants have spent many years developing integrations that tie countless different systems to Infor ERPs.

Here are some integration examples:

  • UPS / FedEx / DPD
  • Kardex Power Pick Global
  • Avalara Tax Management
  • Subway/Moe’s Ord Mgmt
  • Davisware
  • Bartender Label Gen
  • Concur
  • AP Advantage
  • ADP Payroll Integration
  • SmartEquip
  • Nazdaq Output Mgmt
  • SigmaNEST
  • Internal Sales Portals
  • CorVu / Rocket Software
  • Robot Morning
  • Modula
  • Salesforce
  • Nexus

What business-critical systems do you have that are not connected to your Infor ERP system?

Contact us to discuss an integration of your mission-critical business systems, and while you’re at it, grab a slice of pizza for lunch! U+1F355

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

TECHNOLOGY: Facility Security Ranges

Previously, a user could complete the Cost Transfer (CST920) process for any range of facilities regardless of their security settings established in SYS600. This enhancement verifies the user security settings set up in SYS600 before processing cost transfers for a range of facilities in CST920. If the user has authority for a facility range, but there are facilities within that range that are not authorized, the program skips those facilities and completes the cost transfer process.

FINANCE: Expiration Date for Quotes and RMAs

A Cancel-by-Date has been added to the Quote Header and RMA Header panels. This optional field can limit how long a quote or authorization to return items for credit is valid.  

For quotes, this enhancement provides an optional end date for the quote. For RMAs, it provides an optional date by which the customer must return the items to receive the credit listed on the RMA.

The Cancel-By-Date prints on the Order Acknowledgement and RMA Acknowledgement to inform the customer of this important limitation to the quote or return authorization. 

An Order Entry user cannot copy the quote to create a new order if the Cancel By Date has caused the quote to expire.

OPERATIONS: Default Split Salesperson to Customer Orders

Sales commissions are based on combinations of the Primary, Split, and Line-Level salesperson and the commission codes defined for the customer and item. You can now define the Split Salesperson in the same master files as the Primary Salesperson. While the Primary Salesperson is mandatory, the Split Salesperson is optional. It defaults during Order Create using the identical hierarchy as Primary Salesperson. Using Split Salesperson provides more flexibility in the calculation of sales commissions. The ability to define a default Split Salesperson improves the accuracy of sales commission qualification and calculation and reduces maintenance and adjustments necessitated by corrections.
