When the item cost data is modified in Infor LN, PLM must receive those updates for the accurate cost estimation used during new product development is accurate.
You can use the Get ERP Standard Costs and Purchase Prices option from the menu in the PLM Item (pdpdm1600m000) session to retrieve the item costing data from Infor LN. You can also use the Get ERP Standard Costs and Purchase Prices (pdpdm1200m500) session to process large volume of data simultaneously instead of manually updating records individually. This session helps to retrieve standard cost and purchase price detail from Infor LN for a range of companies, items, and item groups. You can also add a job schedule, which can run at a set frequency according to your configuration for automatic synchronization.
