ERP LNCE Uncover – functionality and setup.

In the ERP world, we often hear about challenges like project delays, incorrect use of methodology, or data migration issues. However, one of the most overlooked aspects is whether the consulting or client user teams have enough material available to practice or simulate. If they do, is it easily accessible and available for download when they need it?

To help address this challenge, we at partners 2 innovate are kicking off a new series as ‘ERP LNCE Uncover – functionality and setup’. With years of hands-on experience with Infor LNCE, we want to share our knowledge and provide practical insights that will help others.

This will not be another article talks about ERP theory or conceptual discussion. Instead, we’ll dive into the ERP LN application, showing how the functionality works, how we set it up, and result. We’ll break down one functionality at a time, explaining its use, setup, and final simulation results within LNCE. It won’t be a detailed, step-by-step manual with hundreds of pages, but rather a quick glimpse into how we use the function and what it looks like in action.

Our goal is simple, is to share knowledge about Infor LN and explain how it works practically.

In this first post we open with a simple example: Backflushing.

Improve your manufacturing efficiency with material backflushing in Infor LN. For cases where issuing materials for production does not need to be recorded manually by users, backflushing can be used to automate inventory consumptions once orders are completed.

Key Benefits:

• Reduction of errors through automated consumption tracking
• Faster and more efficient production
• Inventory optimization by keeping stock aligned with actual usage
• Save time by eliminating manual consumption of goods

Backflushing is ideal for high-volume and low-cost items, enhancing productivity and speeding up production processes.

Infor ERP LNCE Uncover – Access Management Cloud SAML Federation with AzureAD

In today’s fast-paced digital world, user access needs to be seamless, secure, and scalable. For organizations leveraging Infor CloudSuite, integrating with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) through SAML Federation is a powerful step toward that goal.

With this setup, users no longer need to juggle multiple passwords or waste time navigating access hurdles. Instead, Single Sign-On (SSO)allows them to access all authorized Infor CloudSuite services with just one secure login—their corporate credentials.

Behind the scenes, SAML Federation ensures secure identity verification between your cloud environment and Azure AD, enabling:
• Frictionless User Access
• Stronger Security Posture
• Reduced IT Overhead
• Simplified User Provisioning and Deactivation

Whether you’re onboarding a new team member, tightening security controls, or scaling across regions, this integration streamlines it all. It’s not just a tech feature—it’s a foundation for operational trust and agility.

Order Planning in Infor LNCE is the heartbeat of precise manufacturing scheduling, ensuring that every component, raw material, and subassembly arrives when they are needed to keep production running smoothly without excess inventory or costly delays.

• Avoid Material Shortages: Prevent production stoppages and lost sales revenue by knowing exactly what to order and when.
• Optimize Inventory Levels:Eliminate overstocking or understocking with time-phased material requirements.
• Reduce Costs: Helps to plan to avoid last-minute unplanned overtime.
• Boost Customer Satisfaction:Deliver on time with materials available in sync with production schedules.

Key Functionality of Order Planning in Infor LNCE:
• Calculates net material requirements based on accurate Bills of Material (BOM), routings, and lead times.
• Generates time-phased plans for production, purchase, and distribution orders.
• Considers on-hand inventory, scrap factors, and existing orders for precise netting.
• Aligns supply with demand to avoid nervous rescheduling and unnecessary changes.

Order Planning in LNCE Enterprise Planning is crucial for complex manufacturing environments where the right material, in the right quantity, at the right time, is critical to meeting deadlines and controlling costs.

It transforms the risks of shortages, excess stock, and late deliveries into a smooth, predictable flow of materials from supplier to shop floor.
