The Facility Period Close process, as introduced in Infor LX 8.3.4, was designed to function interactively. 

The expectation was that clients with a continuous or 24-hour worldwide operation in multiple facilities would submit the Period End Close jobs for each facility as daily operations ceased or shifts ended for each facility. This process was designed to function interactively so that validations of users performing transactions that conflicted with period end processing, and resulting messages, were immediately sent to the period end user. 

This enhancement provides a batch mode for the Facility Period Close (INV930) process and allows the Update IIM Inventory from IWI (INV931) process to be submitted from the INV930B program. The enhancement also provides a batch mode for the INV931 process. For example, a user has a 24-hour operation in facilities around the world, but a centralized IT operation. With this enhancement the user can submit the individual facilities to be closed to a batch process that can be managed by a scheduler, automatically releasing each facility to be closed at a predetermined time.

Flexfab Horizons International, Inc, a global leader in the manufacture of high performance silicone and other advanced polimer products, has made the decision to expand their use of Crossroads RMC’s Data Collection Solution, RMC3, to their China location. The initial implementations in Nottinghamshire, UK and the United States took place in 2018, and the China implementation is expected to be completed by Q2 of 2019. All installations focus on improvements in warehouse management in Infor LN. Applications implemented include Receiving, Inspections/Approvals, Putaway, Stock Transfers and Stock Inquiry.

Crossroads RMC partnered with Electrolux Corporation to Connect Baan IVc4 to Vertex 8.0 (O Series), and was able to successfully complete this project in under 3 months.

Triggers were created to handle the following processes:

• Sales Order Lines
• Print/Reprint Order Acknowledgement
• Print Sales Invoice (Both compose and final)
• Purchase Order Lines
• Purchase order Acknowledgement
• Purchase Order invoice
• Manual Finance Invoice (Compose, print and post)
