Infor LN

Start your day in a single workspace where planners, buyers, engineers, and accountants see the same facts. In Infor LN, you pin role dashboards, subscribe to alerts, and jump straight into exceptions. A planner runs the material plan, reviews pegged shortages by project or order, and releases purchase and production proposals in bulk. Buyers convert them to POs with supplier calendars and price breaks applied, then share confirmations through the vendor portal. At receiving, staff scan barcodes to capture serials/lots, trigger quality holds when needed, and book inventory to the right location and cost bucket—finance postings happen automatically.

On the sales side, reps build configurable quotes with rules-driven options and pricing, then flip accepted quotes to orders without rekeying. Engineering pushes approved revisions that instantly update bills and routings. Production control schedules finite capacity, sequences work, and issues dispatch lists to the floor. Operators report labor and material via scanners or MES links, backflush common components, and record nonconformances. Supervisors see bottlenecks, expedite operations, and compare actual versus standard costs in real time; late changes cascade through rescheduling with impact analysis.

Service teams manage the complete aftermarket loop. Create service quotes, check warranty entitlements, reserve spares, and schedule field calls or depot repair. For complex MRO, handle teardown, inspection, work scopes, and assembly with serial genealogy and life‑limit counters. Technicians capture findings on mobile, request approvals, and log parts usage; billing flows from the work order with correct contract terms. Returns and repairs link to RMAs, while installed base records keep a history of each asset across sites and customers.

You extend LN without source changes. Add fields and tables, write validations, tailor pages per role, and inject business rules with low‑code tools. Build dashboards from live transactional data, set threshold alerts, and schedule reports to stakeholders. Supply chain, inventory, and finance stay in sync—multi‑site, multi‑currency, and tax are handled out of the box. Project accounting tracks budgets, commitments, and timesheets. CRM keeps leads warm and activities on time. HR captures headcount and skills. Open APIs, BODs, and connectors tie LN to CAD, PLM, e‑commerce, and analytics platforms. Compliance checks and audit trails run in the background so teams can move fast with confidence.
