Baan/LN Tip of the Week: What Could go Wrong With GRINYA?

Kathy Barthelt 0 38610 Article rating: No rating

One common GRINYA issue would be incorrectly entered Integration Setups.

Check the Baan/LN manual for recommended Integration setups. If such a mistake were to occur, it is important to know for what period of time the Integration was in error.

It is recommended that the Integrations Setup tables be audited either through Baan or Database Auditing. Corrections can be quickly calculated when an exact timeframe can be determined.

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.

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.

VJES (Visual Job Execution Software) for Infor LN & Baan

​Every manufacturer relies on a few core metrics to manage operations: efficiency, productivity, capacity, and labor and equipment utilization. These benchmarks are used worldwide to assess performance and process effectiveness.

What if you could integrate quality control into every operation at every work center to ensure high-quality finished goods and simultaneously train high-quality operators? Manufacturing quality can be achieved using documented, repeatable, and measurable processes.

Introducing Crossroads RMC's ERP-independent solution, VJES (Visual Job Execution Software). VJES is an electronic work instruction interface that bridges engineering and the paperless manufacturing floor. VJES ensures that only one version of the work instructions is available—the correct one. By deploying up-to-date, visually rich work instructions, images, and videos, VJES provides personnel the best opportunity to build it right the first time and tracks worker productivity throughout the build process.

VJES achieves RESULTS:

  • Turn new hire welders into specialized welders in 2 weeks
  • Improve quality scores from 68/100 to 93/100 in 12 months
  • Reduce employee training time from 1 week to 3 days within the first month of use
  • Maintain a first-pass yield percentage of 100% for 8 consecutive months this year
  • Incorporate a quality cell after productivity increases due to the bandwidth gained from adopting VJES
