Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Infor LX & BPCS Cycle Counting Selection Process

The cycle counting sub-system in Inventory Management determines which items are selected for cycle counting based on the following criteria:

  1. Cycle Counts/Year: The system calculates the cycle count frequency for each item using the "Cycle Counts/Year" field in the Item Master file (optional).

  2. Last Cycle Count Date: If you use locations, this date is found in the Location Inventory file (ILI), and if you don't, it's in the Warehouse Inventory file (IWI).

The system adds the calculated cycle count frequency to the last cycle count date. If the result is less than or equal to today's date, the item is selected for cycle counting. If it's greater, the item is not due for cycle counting yet.

Additionally, an item is automatically selected for cycle counting if the Cycle Flag field in the ILI/IWI record contains 'Y.' This flag indicates that the item's on-hand balance has gone negative since the last cycle count, even if it's not negative at the time of selection. The programs INV500D, INV510, and BIL540 can set this flag.

You can further narrow down the selection of items by specifying item number or warehouse limits.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Certain industries require lot control, where others may find it an option based on how they want to trace the material used in a product in the event of a defect, or recall.

LX provides tight lot controls and flexibility with lot number assignments. Shop orders can have a pre-assigned lot number, or a lot number can be automatically assigned when the item is produced. You can also assign a specific lot number for the entire shop order, or for each item/quantity reported against a shop order.

Thinking of moving from your old BPCS Version to LX?

There are numerous reasons to consider moving to Infor LX. It is a proven migration and it is easy to get there.

An area of interest may be allocations. Allocations can be difficult to manage, but with Infor LX, there is a new selection of ranges for Batch Allocations:

    • Sold To Customer
    • Ship To Number
    • Order Class
    • Order Number
    • Item Number
    • Request Date
    • Schedule Date
