What is preventing you from upgrading your Infor LN or Baan ERP System?

Your answer to this question is likely customizations… customizations that were once the best thing since sliced bread but now have become the bane of your existence.

There is something you can do about it! 

Crossroads RMC has many options for dealing with customizations: 

  • Customizations can be re-written to call standard Baan or Infor LN functions via APIs, libraries, BODs, and BDEs.
  • Your customizations can be re-programmed using Extensibility for smaller customizations and LN Studio for larger customizations.
  • RMCgen can be used to create your own custom components without modifying standard programs.
  • Analytics Dashboard allows for an endless variation of Infor LN or Baan views to be created all without touching your ERP system.
  • Infor Report Designer and Infor Document Management can be used to create your own custom-designed report output.
  • Crossroads partners with Nazdaq to deliver custom-designed reports through the B2Win Suite which also integrates with Infor Document Management.
  • New functionality in the latest version of the ERP software may allow you to eliminate many of your customizations.

It all starts with an assessment of your custom components. This is something that can be done internally by you, or with the assistance of Crossroads RMC consultants.

Why continue to live with the elephant in the room who insists on blocking the doorway to progress? Start the process today to get rid of the customizations that are preventing you from taking your ERP system to the next level. Contact us today to learn more: 800.762.2077, solutions@crossroadsrmc.com, or request a phone consultation.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

For either file, you must specify a valid location code as defined in the Location Master File.

If the machine master locations are blank, then the work center locations are used. There are cases where you may want to do a combination between the two in defining the locations.

Let’s say the end item has one operation. The operation is at work center 510 and Machine A is in the work center. You have locations setup in both the Work center file and the Machine master File. You report 100 complete at the work center without specifying the machine.

In this case, the inventory will be processed based on the locations defined in the work center file. If the transaction included the machine number, then the locations in the machine file would be used.

In Infor LX, there are two ways to enter indirect labor. You can use either SFC600 or SFC650.

  • If you use SFC600 and enter a reason code for the indirect labor, the reason you entered is written to the Labor Ticket file.
  • If you use SFC650 and enter a reason code for the indirect, the reason code is not written to the labor Ticket file.

In either case, the reason code is not validated from the transaction file because there is no indirect transaction code. The indirect code that can be setup is machine downtime. If you need to validate and track indirect by reason and validate the reason code, then you may want to explore an MES solution that works with Infor LX.
