  • Cost price calculation for projects using multiple bshells
    In Infor LN FP6, you can use multiple bshells to calculate cost prices for projects and their customized items in the Calculate Cost Prices by Project (tipcs3250m000) session. Doing so enables LN to utilize more processors.

  • Additional Item BDE attributes for Infor PLM integration

    In Infor LN FP6, for the integration of LN with Infor PLM, the following fields were added to the Item BDE:

    • Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session, Lot Controlled field
    • Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session, Serialized field
    • Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session, Phantom field
    • Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) session, Warehouse field
  • Where-used on Task Relationship
    In Infor LN FP6, a Where-Used command was added to the Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) session. This command starts the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session which lists the items where a particular task is used.
  • Copy to Customized option in BOM for to-order items and standard items

    In Infor LN FP5, the Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure command in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session is only available for a BOM line for which its parent is a customized item and the item on the BOM line is a non-customized item with order policy To Order. If the parent item is a customized item, and the BOM line contains a standard item, this option is not available.

    In Infor LN FP6, in situations where the parent item on the BOM is a customized item, the Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure command is available for BOM lines containing both to-order items and standard items.
