Crossroads MES – The Shining Star of Hoffmaster’s Move to LX

Anthony Etzel 0 29920 Article rating: No rating

When Hoffmaster finally flipped the switch on its ERP migration at the end of February, the IT director was nervous. Not only was the paper-goods supplier consolidating a manufacturing site on Infor ERP LX, but it was also replacing an old shop floor reporting system with a new one from Crossroads RMC. There was a lot that could go wrong for the IBM i shop.

"When we weighed all of our products, Crossroads RMC pretty much convinced us their product was plug and play and their integration back to LX was solid as a rock, and they were right..." the IT director says.

Tip of the Week: Operational Inefficiencies

Anthony Etzel 0 31927 Article rating: No rating
Two big sources of inefficiencies in manufacturing are paper and spreadsheets. I know that you love ‘em, but they are the cause of more problems than you probably realize. Think of how long it takes you to get paper-based data into the hands of those who can do something valuable with the data.
 
  • Is the information captured correctly?
  • Can everyone access the information?
  • Is this an accurate representation of what’s going on across all operations?

Make your shop floor paperless and put systems in place that talk to one another and automatically pull and push data to and from your ERP so that you can look in one place for all the information you need to run your business effectively.

If you’re not doing this today, you might as well be burning money.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Role-Based Security introduces Role type profiles and allows combining the use of Role profiles with the traditional LX User type security profile functionality. The new Role type profile can be defined to allow or deny access to All Products, Attention Key, Products, Programs, and Transaction Effects. Facility, Warehouse, and Company securities are still defined solely by the User profile settings and are not affected by the assignment of a Role. Where applicable, the Role authority is displayed alongside the User authority on the security profile maintenance screens making it easy to see where there are differences in authority between the User and the assigned Roles. 

When Users are assigned to Roles, security access in LX becomes a combination of authorities granted or denied by the Role, plus any User Exceptions. User Exceptions override authorities set by the Roles. A User can also be assigned to more than one Role.

Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for FINANCE: Integration Transactions - Compression

Compression

Integration transactions can be compressed before they are posted. For each integration document type, you can indicate whether the debit transactions and/or the credit transactions must be compressed.

Transactions can be compressed if the following transaction details have the same value:

  • The source financial company.
  • The destination financial company.
  • The transaction type and series.
  • The ledger account and dimensions.
  • The transaction currency.
  • The fiscal year and the financial period, the tax period, and the reporting period.
  • The integration document type and the Debit/Credit indicator.
  • If related gain and loss transactions are generated, the same compression criteria are used to compress these.

Note: Intergroup transactions are not compressed.
