8Apr2015 BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Indirect Time Wednesday, April 8, 2015 Read more 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.
