Is your current Infor LX or BPCS system holding back your growth? It doesn't have to.

In 2026, staying competitive means moving beyond manual workflows and data silos. Crossroads RMC has partnered with Aleran and Avalara to provide an integrated, end-to-end solution designed specifically for manufacturers and distributors in the Infor LX and BPCS market.

Transform Your Operations from Quote to Cash

This powerful partnership enables you to maximize your existing ERP investment without the need for a total overhaul.

  • Self-Service Portals: Empower customers and dealers with real-time access to inventory, quotes, and order history.

This enhancement: 

• Provides an ability for LX to integrate with Infor Federation Services (IFS) to automate provisioning of users.
• Activates LX exit points during maintenance of LX business roles and business units to publish the SyncSecurityRoleMaster BOD which can be received by IFS as LX-specific roles in addition to the three IFS predefined LX-specific roles: LX-SystemAdministrator (corresponding to LX security type S = LX Security Officer); LX-SystemManager (corresponding to LX security type M = LX Security Manager); and LX-User (corresponding to LX security type U = LX User).
• Enables support for LX receiving an inbound SyncSecurityUserMaster BOD (sent from IFS) and creating or revising the associated LX user (or security manager or security officer). This enhancement also supports creating an IBMi user profile which can then be defined as an LX user (or security manager or security officer).
• Activates LX exit points during maintenance of LX users (and security managers and security officers) to send the ProcessSecurityUserMaster BOD to IFS requesting creation or revision of a user on behalf of LX.
• Automates sending revised LX user authorities to corresponding System i Manager (SiM) tasks which can then be uploaded to System i Workspace (SiW).

This enhancement provides a robust RMA Inquiry capability. The base RMA Inquiry application delivers role-based functionality to support customer service, sales, pricing and business analysis functions.

The IDF RMA Inquiry presentation enhances a number of customer service and data analysis functions.

• RMA List provides filters that allow sorting and sequencing by any displayed data field, such as RMA number, customer number, Total RMA amount, request date, good thru date, Customer reason code, Disposition reason code, Q/C reason code.
• RMA Line List provides filters that allow sorting and sequencing by any displayed data field, such as item number, request date, extended amount, net price, Customer reason code, Disposition reason code, Q/C reason code.
• RMA detail cards provide additional details about the RMA, as well as about any orders that will result from the RMA.

IDF RMA Inquiry provides significant enhancement to several business roles:

Customer service personnel, customer service managers responsible for handling customer complaints and negotiating return conditions with the customer Warehouse personnel, warehouse manager at the return warehouse. Billing personnel, billing managers responsible for processing credits to the customer and handling questions related to the RMA, return and eventual credit.
