BPCS/LX Tip of the Day: LX Inventory Pallet Status Flow

Anthony Etzel 0 38867 Article rating: No rating

Four fields in the Item/Warehouse record (IIW file) affect the disposition of the

pallet status.

 

1.  Goods Receiving Code: You define these codes in Goods Receiving Maintenance (WHM130). The codes control whether or not the stock passes through inspection, what percentage, or quantity of a delivery to inspect, and the number of quarantine days, if any.

 

2.  Inspection Zone/Inspection Location: Either the Inspection Zone or the Inspection Location must be entered on the Item/Warehouse Master Maintenance screen WHM150D2-01.

Tuesday, May 19, 2015 - 2:00PM - 3:00PM ET

 

Streamline workflow to and from the shop floor

Are you tired of dealing with mountains of shop paper? Do your workers need a single, electronic, real-time source for all production-related documentation? Join us as we discuss how you can increase accuracy, boost productivity, eliminate paper, and save money with a Manufacturing Execution System (Crossroads MES).

This webinar will highlight how to deliver a built-in workflow that streamlines the information flow to and from the shop floor. With a simple touch of the screen, MES collects and delivers the critical information you need to run your production operation. Fully integrated with your Infor LX system, MES can help manufacturers modernize and automate:

  • Supervisor/manager real-time shift review
  • Scheduling shop orders by shift or by day
  • Splitting orders
  • Capturing shop floor activity
  • Capturing indirect and downtime activities
  • Production reporting

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.

Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Warehouse Material Movement / Problems With the Inventory Structure Table (whinr150)

This has come up as an issue during various stages of warehouse material movements – transfers, outbounds, shipments. We have seen it right up to 10.4. The inventory structure table (whinr150) becomes a problem. The error points to that table, but users are lost as to how to fix it.

In the session Units by Unit Set many companies let the field Storage default to Yes. If the UOM is not intended to be used in inventory then that setting should be No. 

If an item is purchased in UOM different from the inventory unit and the setting is Yes then LN adds a record in that UOM to the inventory structure table. It is that record that causes problem later.

The session has an option to change the value of the storage field. Specific > Convert Use for Storage. This option works both ways and will correct all inventory in the UOM range. 

Should a user receive an error that references inventory structure table then the solution is to check that session to see if an odd UOM exists in it. If so use the Convert Use for Storage to correct the problem.
