Planning Date in MMS080      

Started By  ITSER
Hello all, In MMS100, there are two dates for a Distribution Order : the Transaction Date and the Receiving date.  In MMS080, I can see that the Planning Date is equal to the Receiving Date only when the DO is generated by the system. When a DO is created manually via MMS100, the Planning Date seen in MMS080 is equal to the Transaction Date. Can anyone help me to figure out why is it so I really have no clue. Thanks in advance !

Orders linked to Production proposal      

Started By  KenP
First time poster...we are having an issue where some customer orders are creating LINKED mfg proposals when MRP is run.  Only occurring on a few customers and not all their orders are affected.  We have never used this functionality as we ship production randomly across many orders.  Shipping is not able to allocate inventory as it is ''locked'' to one specific order.   I cant find a setting to control this.  Since it is random, is it possible one of the order entry folks is doing something wro...

Get debug log off MSCM Handheld unit      

Started By  DougEid
We seem to be having connectivity issues with Handhelds since updating to v10.1.8.21 recently (jumping several releases ahead).  I know somewhere around .16 a new Auth Tab secret key setting was implemented so some changes were made by Infor.  In order to support us, they asked that we turn Debug on for a HH and reproduce the issues and generate a log file.  Okay done that.  Now issue is how to get log file off HH in a Win10 environment.  Under XP the suggested method was to use ActiveSync, unde...

Supplier Address on PO      

Started By  Sam Haidar
When assigning A Supplier address to a PO, sometimes we need to assign an address other then 01 address type from CRS622. So, when pressing F4 on the Address Number in Panel PPS200/G, only address type 01 shows up in the selection Popup. I have other addresses defined in CRS622 for that Supplier and I want to be able to select any of them. I am able to do this by clearing the Address number field and manually key in the Address in PPS200/G.  This does not seem right to me.  InforXtreme said tha...

MWS980 Analyze and repair orphan allocations and negative allocations      

Started By  ScottCT
When running the Analyze and repair program we are seeing a lot of errors that are not repairable by MWS980 program.  The to most common are:  'The order line has an orphan allocation and a mismatch between subline quantities'  'Negative allocations are not allowed except for transaction types 31 (customer order issue) and 71 (service order issue)'     Has anyone else come across these issues and are able to fix these without a manual SQL update to the tables

Change sorting order MWS070      

Started By  Michaela S
I am sorry to bother you guys with such a basic question but our 'IT Expert' in my company is totally useless person and I am just an M3 user without IT knowledge. I just asked her to change sorting order according to date (from ascending, that is default, which is quite stupid btw, to descending so that I can see the newest transaction of my selection on the top) in MWS070. Could you please confirm, that this is possible (she said 'M3 panel views cannot be changed to suit a particular user li...

Best Practices? Par Location & Bin Naming Convention      

Started By  kbert
Here's a VISUAL:   Imagine a 1' x 2' tote with 3 rows of 5 slots positions per row.  15 'Bins'. Each slot labeled from 01 - 15.  This tote sits on a shelf in a single par location   -or- Visualize a shelf with 5 bins with each bin having a divider in the middle (10 slots).       We are close to implementing INFOR and currently doing our INV MANAGEMENT setup.   I've been told that in Infor, a par location can not have more than 1 item in any given 'BIN'.  So in the case of having a sin...

Check for Spare Stock      

Started By  John
Simple enough I would have thought (ho ho) An SKU's (item/Warehouse) standard replenishment method is to purchase. The replenishment planning process produces purchase orders which is fine. How can I get the software to check there is no excess inventory elsewhere in the network before placing the purchase order and, if there is some, create a distribution order instead

Splitting of Customer orders at pick      

Started By  ROB
Hi, I am hoping someone has a fix for a problem we are encountering with M3.    Essentially the issue is that customer orders are splitting on several different pick slips/dispatch dockets, despite the order being keyed as one order with multiple lines; we find that the orders split with a number of lines on 1 pick slip and the balance of the lines appearing on another picking slip. This phenomena seems to be adhoc in nature and we cannot pin point why this is happening.    At one stage we t...

Supply Chain Planning - How to?      

Started By  MrSam
5 warehouses, 3 factories (products are specific to a factory) 3 warehouses supply only customers 2 warehouses can supply customers and other warehouses   Need to link them together for planning purposes because otherwise stocks become imbalanced; product is manufactured when there is an excess in another warehouse.    I am not clear which bits to use and how to set them up. Is there some documentation somewhere or a case study or something  that might get me started   TFAI

MSCM item number length?      

Started By  Russell Spreeman
We just went live on MSCM (10.1.4.5) and we have item numbers in Lawson that are 3 and 4 characters long - but our handhelds won't scan them. Is there a setting for item number length that anyone can share or is there some config that the handheld would need to recognize a number that short as being within scope for scanning Any suggestions appreciated, thanks!

Optio Software - RAD Printer Solution

Are there any Infor/Lawson clients using Optio Software or similar for MSCM RAD We need to be able to print scan-able barcoded labels with some of the information that originates from our paper delivery ticket. ​Our designated RQC requesters are required to enter delivery location information into RQC when placing orders, which in turn, appears in our ‘Deliver To’ comments on the paper delivery ticket.  We don’t have any label size requirements other than the fact that we currently use a 2.25x4...

MSCM RAD - How do you monitor it?      

Started By  pcesarz
We continually end up with ‘hanging threads’ in our MSCM server; tasks stuck in the sync table with a status of 0; MSCM TASK9 table with a task ‘POTrackImporter’ that never want’s to go away, users changing passwords but not logging out causing pending issues/pars, printers not set up correctly or changed without warning. . . All of them seem to be preventing MSCM from talking to S3 so no delivery tickets for PO’s print.  The fix for any of these has been to restart the MSCM server, which then e...

PPS170      

Started By  ROB
Hi, Would anybody know how I can go about combining both A1 and A2 messages as a single line on a Purchase order At the moment when purchase orders are released from PPS170 both the A1 and A2 lines generate separate lines on the purchase order; despite having the same requested ship date. This is creating issues when we transmit orders via EDI to our suppliers, in addition to creating extra put away lines for the warehouse. We currently overcome this issue by going through order proposals an...

DO Receiving

Hello, We have started experiencing a fault with Mobility when receiving DO's.  It is not displaying all the lines in a Package that need to be received against a DO .  However, if we go in via the Smart Office client and MWS444, we can see the lines against the package and receive them this way.  However, in the warehouse this is not practical and Mobility should be displaying them correctly. Nothing has changed i.e. fixes\patches so I'm not sure why his has started happening.  Also if I...
