Changing Storage Method

July 26, 2018, 10:59 am

In our company, we store products on racks. Bottom shelves are for picking (let's call them picking area) and top shelves are for storing and replenishing of the bottom shelves (let's call them store area). Only bottom shelves have a number of a location, all products sitting on top shelves are located in the system on the same location that belongs to an item in picking area. 

For example: an item 205.206 is placed on a location FB12A01 in picking area. We have 2 boxes there and another 5 pallets physically sitting anywhere in the warehouse in store area, but in the system, all quantity of 205.206 is located on FB12A01.

I want to set up locations for all warehouse, that would be still divided into picking area and store. I think that in our case Storage Method 3-Multiple with ROP would be the most suitable (currently, we use Storage Method 2-Multiple Locations, although we do not use multiple locations for one item and I was told it is not possible). 

Could you please explain to me, how big the change of the Storage Method in the system is? In my understanding, we will have to change the Storage Method for all items and set up ROP for all locations in the picking area. I was told by IT that the field "Storage Method" has other programs that need to be set up which sounds quite complicated.

Does anyone use multiple locations for one item and how it works?

Thanks for your comments

Cannot Change Tracking Flag; Quantities Exist In This UOM Error

Hello All,

I'm receiving an error message in IC11 when attempting to change the default / tracking UOM's of an item that has no open PO's or Requisitions. All transaction UOM's for Locations within the Company have been blanked out and has worked for me several times before while manipulating UOM's. All locations have been double-checked for open documents with no success. 

The error message is "cannot change tracking flg; qtys/activities exist in this UOM" and I have attached a screen shot.

 

Has anyone seen this error before? How can I resolve this issue?

 

Thank you for your help.

Extract New Items

I'm interested in creating a flat-file that contains items and item information for items that were created in the last 1 or 2 weeks.  We currently handle charge codes through a third-party application, and depend on manual data entry for all new items, which takes a lot of time. If I can extract the item information, I can build an import task on the other application to automatically run, create those items, and generate charge codes.  I can export all items, but I'm really looking for just those created in the desired time period due to the nature of the import task.

 

My environment is Single-Tenant Clouded-Hosted v10 being run on Windows hardware.  

 

Thank you, any help would be much appreciated.

Identifying supply areas for Epic OpTime

I'm currently working with our Epic implementation team to create the supply file for the interface to OpTime, Cupid and Radiant. One of the requirements is that the area in which the supply is used is identified in the file. Our IC12 records are primarily specific to the medical centers. For instance, at our Midland location, supplies used in the OR and Diagnostic Radiology are all in the MID location. At our Alma location, supplies used in the OR and Diagnostic Radiology and Cath Lab are all in the ALM location. How do you identify the areas the supply lives in? Do you build separate IC12s for each area? If so, how do you pull supply cost? Initially, the last cost will be 0 for these new IC12 records until a receipt has happened.

Sending Bin Location Data to Epic

Our Epic team wants Lawson to be the source of truth for their bin locations.  I would rather they manage that within Epic instead of mucking up our bin location fields.  Most of their locations are just identifying a room or closet so they have multiple items with the same bin. Anyone else doing this?

Vendor Returns and Open to Match

If we do a vendor return for a PO Line, will that not reduce to open-to-match quantity?  I would think that since we returned the items, the open-to-match should go down.

 

Example:

Order 10, receive 15, return 5, invoiced (matched and paid) 10.  PO64 shows open-to-match is 5.  How do we reduce that?  Since we returned 5, shouldn't we now have none left to match??

Credits and Rebills

When we are billed incorrectly on an invoice and the vendor sends us a credit then rebills us, what is the best way to show that on the PO. Our Accounting team is wanting a return generated in PO31.1 so that they can tie that credit to the return. Then the buyer has to add a line to the PO for the rebill. Is this best practice?

MSCM: Handhelds lose server address

Occasionally, for no reason that's apparent to me, our Dolphin 9550's lose the server address in the MSMC application. Usually the material handler doesn't find out until they have to upload their counts and they get "A network connection is needed..." message. The only way to fix this is to go into the settings and re-add the address but they have to exit the par counting area to get there thus losing all they have counted. Does anyone know what causes this? Is it a defect in the 9550 or the MSCM application? Is it something the material handler might be doing?

Shortpay/price discrepancies

How is everyone handling shortages and price discrepancies? We would like to start creating chargebacks in PO31 for shortages and working with AP for price discrepancies using MA64. Does the reason code for the short pay/chargeback appear on the check remittance? If not, how do you let the vendor know why you are short paying an invoice?

Thank you,
Andrea

Item Master Sync

Hi All,

 

Looking to see what anyone knows about Item Master Sync that's available in 10.0.6 and beyond.  From what I'm seeing it helps with ensuring your item master data is synced throughout the various screens.  IC11, IC12, PO13, IC82, PO25.  Of course we're on 10.0.5 so we don't have access to it but would like to know exactly how it works and if it works.  We could definitely use some help with keeping our data synced.

IC500 - Please HELP if you can!

I have reviewed the file layout document for IC500, along with any KB articles I cold find and been going back and forth on an incident on Infor Xtreme. However, I can not get the IC500 job to process an inbound file properly without errorring out.

 

I believe it is strictly the result of the headers being improperly named because the file layout document indicates the field names to contain spaces, hyphens, mixed case fields, upper case fields, etc., which I have never seen before and do not believe to be correctly documented.

I've also never experienced an interface job like this one where you need to include both a header line and a detail line for each record (at least I think that is what is required).

Has anyone else experienced this confusion with this job and, if so, are you willing to share your experience and provide some guidance on how to properly format the file and process the job/file successfully? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

PO Numbering

Is it possible, feasible or even wise to start the PO numbering over? We are currently at 7 digits (I'm aware we can go up to 14).

We did receive some feedback via our IT department that stated the following:

Auto numbering is defined in PO01.1 (where the last PO number used is reflected as well).  Per Lawson, once the po's are there they stay there (we questioned with a purge, ie. running all purge programs in sequence which would include a PO300 and involve/require RQ, IC, PO and AP coordination)

 
They stated that our only option would be to use a PO Code on PO01.1 and start the numbering over that way; however, that would be a process change. There would be other setup required (ie.  having the new PO Code added to the default of all vendors in PO10.1 and/or setting it as the default on buyers in PO04).

Has anyone ever done this or have any thoughts?

Has anyone found negative allocations for items in inventory?  Every so often we find these and I can't find a reason for it.  I've compared all requisitions for the item to shipments and found that either the full amount was shipped, or there was a partial shipment, or killed/voided- all quantities are accounted for.

PO31 - Vendor Returns

We are new to generating vendor returns out of Infor and was hoping someone could share their process with us. 

Is your buyer/purchasing team responsible for creating the vendor return? If so, do they also "ship" it out or is that part on the receiving team? 

If anyone has any documentation they could share regarding their process, that would be extremely helpful!

 

Thanks,

Shannon
