    Additionally, the dimension sequence is changed to:

    1. Length
    2. Width
    3. Height
  • Return handling unit

    In Infor LN 10, you can set the status to Open for the handling units that are in the Inactive and the Shipped status, provided the following conditions are met:

    • The Item field of the selected handling unit is filled.

    • The handling unit has one of these order origins:

      • Sales
      • SFC Production
      • Service

    For more information, refer to these fields:

  • Print receipt and shipment labels without handling units

    In Infor LN 10, you can print the labels for items received and items to be shipped even if the handling units are not used.

  • Allow multi- items in a fixed location of a warehouse
    In Infor LN 10, you can allow other items that are defined for the fixed location. To enable the functionality, the Allow Other Items on Fixed Multi-Item Locations check box must be selected in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.
  • Block items during cycle counting on warehouse level
    In Infor LN 10, select the Block During Warehouse Cycle Counting check box in Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session to block the stock point during cycle counting.
  • Print components multi-level structure for a manufactured item

    The Explode BOMs, Explode Purchased BOMs and Print only lowest BOM level fields are added in the Print Manufactured Items Inventory (whwmd2411m000) session, to print the inventory level of all components in the bill of material (BOM) structure linked to the manufactured item at the higher and lower level.

    The inventory level of the purchased main components and also the subcomponents of the purchase item in the BOM structure can also be printed.

  • Improved inbound advice for locations with finite capacity

    In Infor LN 10, a new field Ignore Expected Decrease of Location Occupation is added in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. If this check box is selected, LN ignores the expected occupation decrease of the inventory for a warehouse location while calculating the availability of the location for storing inbound goods.

  • Inventory dashboard improvements

    In Infor LN 10, you can use the Inventory Dashboard (whwmd4300m000) session for the following actions:

    • To start the Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1500m000) session.

    • To start one of these sessions:

      • Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000)
      • Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000)
      • Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000)

      You can specify in the User Profiles (whwmd1540m000) session as to which one of the possible three buttons above are displayed in the Inventory Dashboard (whwmd4300m000) session.

  • Extend length of inbound priority and outbound priority

    You can now define inbound and outbound priority with a range starting from 0 to 999999.

    In Infor LN 10, when blocking a stock point, you can link multiple blocking reasons to the stock point.

  • Default supply system and supply warehouse on warehouse level

    In Infor LN 10, you can specify a default supply system and a default supply warehouse when warehouse-item records are generated in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) session. For details, refer to the online Help of Supply System field in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.
