What is preventing you from upgrading your Infor M3 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 M3 dealing with customizations: 

  • Customizations can be re-written to call standard M3 functions via APIs and BODs.
  • Customizations can be replaced with enhanced sorting orders and views, the results of which can be exported to Excel.
  • Your customizations can be re-programmed using Extensibility for smaller customizations and the Infor Development Studio for larger customizations.
  • Analytics Dashboard allows for an endless variation of M3 views to be created all without touching your ERP system.
  • M3 Ad Hoc Reporting and M3 Report Manager (MRM) can be used to create your own custom-designed report output.
  • 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

In the Shop Floor Control Module, you have the ability to key in both direct labor and indirect labor. However you want to establish specific types (reasons) for the indirect labor. The SFC600 labor entry program shows a reason code field, but it is designed for reject quantity and machine downtime reasons, not indirect labor reasons.

There is a way around this. With an MES solution you have the ability to setup and report indirect time against a specific reason code.

You can see the status of the Shop Order when using SFC300 Shop Order Inquiry. You want to be sure that your shop orders are at the correct status in order to report against them.

The following are the shop order status codes:

04 = The Shop order has been entered.

05 = The Shop order has been released and printed.

14 = The Shop order has been released, but not printed. If a shop order is at this status, you have released it and it is not printed due to a system failure, or the order has been put on hold.

XX = The Shop order is closed.
