Email Distribution Lists are new in Infor LX Version 8.

With this feature, users can create groups to which they may add internal or external email addresses, and in turn, use the name of the group when sending out the email.

The email distribution list eliminates the need for a program change if recipients need to be added to or deleted from the group. 

Optimize Your Manufacturing Today!

Do you have bottlenecks in your process due to product changeovers or breakdowns?
Maybe the answer is adding redundancy in the department where you are experiencing the problem. A duplicate machine setup can allow for double the capacity during high production periods. It can also eliminate the need to swap out tools or other materials due to different production runs. When breakdowns occur, equipment can be swapped out to keep production moving while repairs are being made.

Planning for this keeps production levels high.
