PCS/Service integration enhancements

In Infor LN FP2, this functionality is used to make handling of customized (or PCS) items more effective and flexible. Following are the new enhancements:

  • Copy PBOM directly into Service serials and PBD
    • You can use the Create Physical Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m000) session, to create the physical breakdown from a Bill of Material. If you create a physical breakdown from a Bill of Material, this results in a direct copy of effective items present in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session of Manufacturing to Service. If item service data is not present, LN uses item service defaults maintained for item type and item group to create items in LN Service.
  • Usage of customized items on the service order material
    • A new field Reference Item Details is added in Service Order Estimated Material Costs (tssoc2120m000) session. The reference item is referred to generate a customized item, by creating a new PCS project for the sold to business partner mentioned on the service order header. You can also link the reference item, as a project part, to an existing PCS project for the Sold-to BP mentioned on the service order header. The reference item can belong to PCS project of any business partner.
    • A new session Generate (Project) Structure for Service Orders (tssoc2275m000) is introduced in Service Order Estimated Material Costs (tssoc2120m000) session. In any of the material lines in a service order - if the reference item is filled with the main item left blank, it’s not possible to plan or release the order. It is first required to generate project structure for items present on all those material lines, which are to be customized or produced.
  • Physical Breakdown change report
    • It is used to present the difference between the configuration structure on a selected date with respect to the structure on a selected past date. This gives a track of all the changes that occurred on the Physical Breakdown. Following fields are introduced in Print Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2410m000) session.
      • Off Date
      • Compare Date
      • Physical Breakdown Log check box
