Infor LX & BPCS Tip of the Week: Fast Line Entry

George Moroses 0 39367 Article rating: 5.0

LX Order Entry has been enhanced to provide a new Fast Line Entry panel. The new presentation makes traditional order entry faster by reducing the keystrokes necessary to create new lines. It also places the item description on the primary entry line, making it easier to confirm that the desired item has been ordered as each line is validated.

Impact:

ORD700DA – Fast Line Entry
ORD700D2 – Order Line Entry, Quote Line Entry and RMA Line Entry

Tip of the Week: 8 Ways to Improve Production Efficiency in Your Manufacturing Plant

Crossroads RMC 0 62235 Article rating: 5.0

No matter how large or small your manufacturing plant is, efficiency and productivity relative to your capital investment are the keys to maintaining your competitive edge. Wasting time and money is not something anyone wants to do, but manufacturers need to be especially mindful of both and actively work to address any issues that lead to productivity or financial loss.

Infor LN & Baan Tip of the Week: Dynamic Assembly Control BOM (LN 10.7)

Kathy Barthelt 0 51112 Article rating: 5.0

In previous releases of LN, the Assembly Control Bill of Material (BOM) offered limited flexibility. For each end item configuration, users were required to create unique Engineering Modules, which are used to determine the assembly parts that are consumed in a specific Line Station during a specific operation.

If LN is integrated with Design Studio, previously called Infor CPQ, BOM structures can be maintained in Design Studio for Assembly Control. These structures can include non-configurable parts that are directly linked to configurable items. When communicating these structures to LN using the Assembly Control, Product Variant Structure (tiapl3510m000) session, the structures were rejected because non-configurable parts were not supported by the session logic.

In this release, BOM structures that include non-configurable parts can now be accepted in LN. Consequently, if LN is integrated with Design Studio, it is no longer required to use the Engineering Module. Using the Engineering Module has become optional.

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.

Infor LX/BPCS Tips & Tricks for EXECUTIVES:

FINANCE: Default Billing Reason Code from User Order Class
This enhancement allows users to define a Default Billing Reason Code by User Order Class in addition to the Base Order Class. User Order Classes provide configurability for order processing events and the documents to be printed during those events. This enhancement allows users to configure different Billing Reason Codes for each User Order Class. If no specific code is defined, the system will default to the Billing Reason Code set up for the Base Order Class.

TECHNOLOGY:  Security Manager
New LX security type "M" for an LX Security Manager. Authority is similar to that of an LX Security Office (type "S"), but without the automatic authority to execute every LX program, and without the authority to change the authorizations of Security Officers and Security Managers. Users defined as LX security managers have authority to maintain security information for users other than themselves, but are only allowed to access regular LX programs if granted authority by an LX security officer.

OPERATIONS: Track All Order Holds Added & Released
Enhancement: Order Hold Audit Functionality
This enhancement introduces an audit file to track all holds added or released for customer orders. The audit file includes details for various types of holds: credit hold, margin hold, customer hold, user hold, and credit card hold. All applications that add or release a hold now write an audit record, capturing the user, date, time, and program associated with each hold action.

A new IDF Order Hold Audit Inquiry application allows users to review holds based on various criteria:

  • Hold type
  • User
  • Specific order
  • Transactions for a customer within a date range
  • Other combinations

Additionally, the selected data can be printed if desired.
