LX & BPCS Tip: Unlocking Efficiency and Customization: The Power of Infor Development Framework (IDF)

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) is a significant component of Infor's efforts to modernize its Infor LX application. IDF aims to enhance the user experience by introducing a task-oriented approach to accessing information within Infor LX. It is designed to replace LX Inquiry screens. Here are some key points about IDF:

  1. Efficient Interaction: IDF re-architects the way users interact with Infor LX, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

  2. Configurability: Users can configure their view of application data without making modifications to the core application. This preserves the core application's supportability and reduces the risk of introducing errors.

  3. Centralized Data Management: IDF can serve as a centralized management utility for all data, both within and outside the IBMi environment.

Examples of how users can benefit from IDF include:

  • Grouping and Sequencing: Users can arrange application information into multiple groupings and sequences that align with their specific job requirements.

  • Information Hiding: Unnecessary information can be hidden to declutter the interface and focus on the task at hand.

  • Record Filtering: Users can filter records to display only the information relevant to their current job or task, improving productivity.

  • Customization: IDF allows for customization at various levels, including individual user preferences, group-specific settings, or changes that apply to all users.

Additionally, the latest version of IDF includes file maintenance functions, which can be used for tasks such as managing the Item master file.

For more information on how Infor's IDF can benefit your company, you are encouraged to reach out to Anthony Etzel for detailed insights and assistance.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

1. Eliminate paper shop packet and distribution of the paperwork to the shop floor.     

2. Eliminate manual (paper-based) recording activities and the need to key in the transactions.

3. Easy electronic scheduling by sequence and changing job priorities.

4. Evaluate differences using actual times compared to standards.

5. Improve data accuracy and eliminate the need to chase and fix errors.

6. Practice Real-Time data reporting to monitor efficiencies and identify problems as they occur.

If the item being received needs to be inspected prior to being available for use, there are two schools of thought.The first is to receive the item to a QC hold location. The downside is the item will show up in on hand inventory.

A better method would be to do a PO receipt to inspection. Both Inv500 and Pur550 support this method. Now you have received the item without showing it in inventory. Only the PO quantity in inspection is updated. This method also allows you to create an Inspection Dispatch Report. After the QC process for the item is complete, then the transaction Receipt from Inspection to Stock is processed. That transaction then updates the PO quantity received field and the Item on hand field in inventory.
