Infor LX remembers certain key values, such as item number, salesperson,

or container, in your workstation memory as you process information in certain

programs. You can assign one of the following values to each field:

0  -Infor LX automatically retrieves this value from remember key memory. Infor LX updates this value on a continual basis.

1  -Infor LX automatically retrieves the value you specify in Display Remembered Keys, SYS080. It does not update the value from any other program.

Sales Order Acknowledgements in Baan IV:
After a sales order is entered in Baan IV, users can print an order acknowledgement in Print Sales Order Acknowledgements/RMAs (tdsls4401m000), after which it can be sent to the customer.

Sales order acknowledgements in ERP LN:
In Infor LN, users can still use the Print Sales Order Acknowledgements/RMAs (tdsls4401m000) session to print order acknowledgements, however, the following functionality is added to this session:

• In the Documents to Print field users can select whether to print order acknowledgments and/or return material authorizations.
• With the Promotions check box users can indicate whether to print promotions on the order acknowledgement, if promotions apply to the order.
• Users can control the printing of order acknowledgements based on the order amount and/or the delivery date.

These conditions only apply for order types that do not have the Print Sales Order Acknowledgements/RMAs (tdsls4401m000) linked as a mandatory activity to the order type in the Sales Order Type - Activities (tdsls0560m000) session.

Two big sources of inefficiencies in manufacturing are paper and spreadsheets. I know that you love ‘em, but they are the cause of more problems than you probably realize. Think of how long it takes you to get paper based data into the hands of those who can do something valuable with the data. Are you capturing all of the information correctly? Timely? What about those spreadsheets? Can everyone access that information across your organization? Is that data married with all of the related data regarding your operations to give your executive and middle management the information they need when they need it?

Make your shop floor paperless and put in place systems that talk to one another and automatically pull and push data to and from your ERP so that you can look in one place for all the information you need to run your business effectively.

If you’re not doing this today, you might as well be burning money.
