Inventory Manager

The LN Inventory Manager page is designed based on the Role-Based Home Page concept to include the banner widgets and regular widgets that display the inventory performance index.
This enables the inventory manager or warehouse manager to scrutinize the warehouse operations, inventory levels, value, and the overall performance of the warehouse.
Note: In the Administration setting, the Banner Widget feature must be enabled to view the banner in the homepage.

This homepage provides comprehensive information based on the data available in Infor LN for the selected warehouse. The fields, such as Site and Warehouse are retrieved from Infor LN and viewed in the widgets of the homepage.

On the homepage, you can view these LN widgets related to inventory:
  • Inventory Value: This is a banner widget. Indicates the current inventory value for the selected warehouse.
  • Capacity Utilization: This is a banner widget. Indicates the total storage capacity value and utilized value of a warehouse.
  • Potential Stock Shortages Indicates inventory levels and potential stock shortage for items in the warehouses.
  • Inventory Aging: Indicates the age (period) of the inventory for items in a warehouse or multiple warehouses linked to a specific site or company.
  • Days of Inventory Indicates the number of days the current inventory level is available for the demand.
  • Excess Inventory: Indicates the items that are overstocked in the past period and items that can be excess in the future.
  • Expected Inventory Supply: Indicates the supply of items for a warehouse(s) linked to site or company.

The business process widgets such as Task List and Alert List are also included on the homepage. You can use the Links widget to access the bookmarks.

By default, all the widgets retrieve data based on the default warehouse defined in the Warehousing User Profiles (whwmd1540m000) session in Infor LN.

The Selection widget included in the banner can be used to configure the fields of the LN widgets linked to the LN Inventory Manager page. For additional information see Selection (Inventory)

However, each widget can also be configured separately by selecting the Configure Widget screen from the respective widget.

For other widgets to communicate with the Selection widget the message key must be specified in the ’inforLNWarehouseContextSelection’ + <Page ID> format.

The Selection widget sends a message in the following format to other widgets:
{
			context: "warehouse",
			details: {
				logisticCompany: string,
				site: string,
				warehouse: string,
				period: IPeriod,
				isSiteActive: boolean
			}
		}
	IPeriod {
	display: string;
	value: string;
	}
