Why Infor ERP Users Are Turning to AI for Order Management

59% of Infor ERP customers say supplier communication breakdowns delay shipments (IDC, 2024). While Infor excels at manufacturing and supply chain planning, its procurement workflows often rely on:

• Manual purchase order follow-ups
• Email/Excel-based supplier coordination
• Disconnected goods receipt processes

Evolinq’s AI layer closes these gaps by automating Infor ERP order management end-to-end. Here’s how.

Evolinq’s Infor-Centric Automation Solutions

1. PO Execution & Supplier Collaboration

Infor Pain Point: No native way to auto-send POs or track supplier confirmations in Infor LN/M3

Evolinq’s Fix:

✅ Auto-distributes POs via email/EDI/portal (supplier’s preferred channel)

✅ Tracks responses and updates Infor (e.g., PO acknowledgment status in Infor Document Management)

✅ Flags mismatches (e.g., "Supplier confirmed 500 units; Infor PO shows 450")

2. Dynamic MRP Action Coordination

Infor Pain Point: Expedite/postpone requests require manual calls/emails

Evolinq’s Fix:

✅ Automates MRP actions (expedite/defer/cancel) to suppliers

✅ Validates changes against Infor’s lead times and contracts

✅ Updates Infor schedules (e.g., adjusts PDS600 in Infor LN)

3. Automated Goods Receipt Validation

Infor Pain Point:

• Suppliers claim shipments are en route, but Infor GR (PDS170) isn’t triggered

Evolinq’s Fix:

✅ Auto-reconciles ASNs with Infor’s expected receipts

✅ Triggers PDS170 when tracking confirms delivery

✅ Generates claims for discrepancies (short/over shipments)

4. Infor Data Integrity Assurance

Infor Pain Point: Critical supplier emails (date changes, QC notes) never reach Infor

Evolinq’s Fix:

✅ Scans supplier emails for updates to:

• Order quantities (PPS200)
• Pricing (Infor Contract Management)
• Delivery dates (PDS600)

✅ Auto-updates Infor or flags exceptions

5. Bulk Order Reconciliation

Infor Pain Point: Suppliers send spreadsheets of "all open orders," forcing manual cross-checks

Evolinq’s Fix:

✅ Validates bulk submissions against Infor data:

• Dates (vs Infor MRP)
• Quantities (vs PPS200)
• Prices (vs Infor Contracts)

✅ Highlights exceptions for review
