These presentations explain how to use new functionality enhancements in Infor LN 10.4 and other applications within the vertical industry Cloudsuites. There are Cloudsuites for Financials, Aerospace and Defense (A&D), Automotive, Industrial Machining and Equipment and other discrete manufacturing industries. If you still have Baan 4, FourthShift, Microsoft Dynamics GP, SAP R/3 or any other legacy ERP, then you might want to consider Infor LN.

Big Picture
• Aerospace &Defense (A&D) companies work in a project based environment
• A&D companies work with actual costing methods such as Moving Average
Unit Cost (MAUC) for valuation of the items they make for customers
• Actual costing helps to better compare costs to budgets for profitability of a
project
• Labor hours are tracked on projects and budgeted on projects.
• Each project that makes something will have its own MAUC or project MAUC
(PMAUC)
• Projects tend to share inventory or transfer excess to other projects.

5. 5Copyright © 2013. Infor. All Rights Reserved. www.infor.com
Business Requirement
• A&D companies need the hours and the inventory value of an item.
• The hours need to move from the project that made the item to any project that
ultimately gets the item (via transfer of project ownership).
• Hours are captured and stored for the items that are delivered to the end
customer (a government agency)
• Pegged Items
• Need to capture hours (internal to the company) that made a pegged ite
• Do not need production subcontracting hours (these are external)
• Have the hours roll into another Bill of Material Level
• Non-Pegged Items
• When making non-pegged items, the hours need to be tracked
• Have the hours roll into another Bill of Material Level

6. 6Copyright © 2013. Infor. All Rights Reserved. www.infor.com
Business Problem
• No production hours associated with an item’s value means, when an
item is moved to another project, the new project :
• Applies incorrect overhead (total project costs are wrong)
• Bills customers incorrectly (customers get invoices based on bad information)
• Incorrectly track project progress based on hours correctly, leading to overruns
and projects out of control
• Ultimately incorrect project profitability leads to incorrect company profitability

Software Requirements
• Retain Production Hours as part of the warehouse value (Project MAUC
(PMAUC), MAUC, Last in First Out (LIFO), First in First Out (FIFO), Fixed
Transfer Price (FTP))
• New field called Moving Average Unit Hours (MAUH)
• Allows transfer of hours and costs between projects (which happens often)
• Allows (re) calculation of overhead costs based on hours invested
• Allows Projects to bill based on hours when appropriate (Time and Material or Cost
Plus Invoicing)
• Production Orders costing has to incorporate and pass the hours into
Warehousing, Finance and Project
• Extend internal Work In Process

Summary
• Big Picture – A&D companies need hours in the value of items for project
management, overhead application and invoicing
• Solution – MAUC Hours added to inventory costing
• When inventory (happens often) is moved from one project to another the costs
and hours can move
• Take some time to review this for yourself
