Optimize with Infor Development Framework: IDF

Infor LX | BPCS | M3

Why You Need IDF

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) not only helps you modernize the look and feel of your LX software but also the interactions of the IBM i software with other applications in your business.

“The IDF is a multi-user interface, single codebase architecture that’s metadata-driven (and) provides a lot of flexibility to adapt the software for their processes.” says Infor. This is the direction that Infor is going starting with LX 8.3.4 covering inquiries that can replace green screen 300 series inquiries. Newer versions of LX 8.4 and above introduces master file maintenance programs with the IDF and there are no longer green screen master file maintenance programs. 

It’s a Win-Win!  - So why aren't you taking advantage of the IDF? 

  • Not installed?
  • It's installed, just not using it?
  • Not licensed?
  • Don't know how to use it?

To get you started, Crossroads RMC specializes in:

  • Installation
  • User set-up
  • Security authorization
  • Basic and advanced training
  • User navigation by replacing multiple green screen sessions
  • Creating business objects and views

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Exit Points is a new feature in Infor LX Version 8 that allows users to customize, without changing the original LX source code. Exit points provide a way for you to call an external program and pass a set of parameters to implement any needed custom logic. By using Exit Points, LX customers are able to modify the software, and still take advantage of new releases from Infor. Exit points are available in many LX programs. A complete list is available on the Infor support website.

Poor performance indicators make for poor outcomes.

Companies today continue to tolerate and accept how labor and production information is recorded, and the reliability on that information is questionable. In addition to collecting labor and production information, there are many other pieces of information manually recorded from the shop floor.

A critical element of information for productivity throughput would be to examine how much time the work center or machine was actually up and running. Downtime is another critical element of data that is usually manually recorded along with a reason identifying what caused production to stop. If this information is not provided on a timely and accurate basis, then what good is it anyway? Forms are filled out, data may or may not be keyed to a spreadsheet, the forms are sorted and filed, but is anybody really looking at the information that was recorded? Think about the amount of time it takes to manage the manual collection of information from your shop floor. 

What would real time access to data mean to your organization?
The benefits:

  1. Real Time Production Visibility
  2. Reduced Paperwork Load
  3. Downtime and Scrap Visibility
  4. WIP Inventory Visibility
  5. Improve Efficiency, Capacity Utilization
