Shop Floor Control- Warehousing integration improvements

In Infor LN FP3, the Shop Floor Control- Warehousing integration is improved by providing more means to control the material flow in Shop Floor Control. The following improvements are implemented:

In Infor LN FP3, you can use the Process Material Shortages (tisfc0221m000) session to deal with shortages of low cost materials, which are usually backflushed, or directly processed. With this session, LN carries out the warehouse order procedure automatically, without further user intervention.

In Infor LN FP3, the Production Warehouse Orders Overview (timfc0101m100) session is introduced to view production warehouse orders by lot, serial number, effectivity unit, or revision.

For flexibility reasons, several companies make use of shop floor warehouses. A material is first shipped from the central warehouse to a shop floor warehouse, after which the material is issued to the shop floor. If the material is shipped from the central warehouse to the shop floor warehouse, LN creates a transfer order. In this way, the picking process in the central warehouse is disconnected from the production process. An operator is now free to determine which material must be used in production, and for which production order the material is applied.
