Optimize with Infor Development Framework: IDF

Infor LX | BPCS | M3

Why You Need IDF

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) not only helps you modernize the look and feel of your LX software but also the interactions of the IBM i software with other applications in your business.

“The IDF is a multi-user interface, single codebase architecture that’s metadata-driven (and) provides a lot of flexibility to adapt the software for their processes.” says Infor. This is the direction that Infor is going starting with LX 8.3.4 covering inquiries that can replace green screen 300 series inquiries. Newer versions of LX 8.4 and above introduces master file maintenance programs with the IDF and there are no longer green screen master file maintenance programs. 

It’s a Win-Win!  - So why aren't you taking advantage of the IDF? 

  • Not installed?
  • It's installed, just not using it?
  • Not licensed?
  • Don't know how to use it?

To get you started, Crossroads RMC specializes in:

  • Installation
  • User set-up
  • Security authorization
  • Basic and advanced training
  • User navigation by replacing multiple green screen sessions
  • Creating business objects and views

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

In Infor LX, there are two ways to enter indirect labor. You can use either SFC600 or SFC650.
 

  1. If you use SFC600 and enter a reason code for the indirect labor, the reason you entered is written to the Labor Ticket file.
  2. If you use SFC650 and enter a reason code for the indirect, the reason code is not written to the labor Ticket file.

 

In either case, the reason code is not validated from the transaction file because there is no indirect transaction code. The indirect code that can be setup is machine downtime. If you need to validate and track indirect by reason and validate the reason code, then you may want to explore an MES solution that works with Infor LX.

 

Certain industries require lot control, where others may find it an option based on how they want to trace the material used in a product in the event of a defect, or recall.

LX provides tight lot controls and flexibility with lot number assignments. Shop orders can have a pre-assigned lot number, or a lot number can be automatically assigned when the item is produced. You can also assign a specific lot number for the entire shop order, or for each item/quantity reported against a shop order.
