Crossroads RMC proudly announces the LX 8.3.5 go live for Trinity Industries.

Trinity Industries is live on LX 8.3.5! This project was truly a team effort working in partnership with HCL America. Crossroads RMC's involvement included John Kasper (Finance), David Campbell and Nick Olson (Operations), Jacob Hale (Supply Chain Management), and Tony Curtis (LX Administration). 

Trinity began providing industrial products and services to customers more than 85 years ago. They started as a small butane-tank manufacturer and evolved over time into a premier diversified industrial company with market-leading businesses serving the energy, chemical, agriculture, transportation, and construction sectors.

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.
