What is preventing you from upgrading your Infor LX or BPCS 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 LX & BPCS dealing with customizations: 

  • Customizations can be written using Exit Points or the User Extension File so that custom functionality can be achieved without modifying the core of the LX application.
  • Analytics Dashboard allows for an endless variation of Infor LX or BPCS views to be created all without touching your ERP system
  • Using ION / Infor OS, customizations can be re-written to call standard Infor LX functions via APIs, libraries, and BOD messages.
  • IDF can be used to create your own custom-designed report output and display of data.
  • 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

Understanding: The Cycle Count Transaction

If you rely on BPCS to provide you with a cycle count list, the number of items could vary from day to day from a few items to count, to several. So the person doing the cycle counting may spend a few minutes to a few hours counting items. After the cycle count is complete, the balances are not changed until the reconciliation is complete. This process could take some time before the balances are changed.

The cycle count transaction process is similar to the physical inventory transaction process.

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.
