Effective September 30, 2023, IBM® will end support of the IBM i operating system 7.3

AND Infor will no longer support LX and related products on IBM i 7.3 as of June 1, 2024

THE CLOCK is T I C K I N G ... 

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
Effective September 30, 2023, IBM® will end support of the IBM i operating system 7.3  AND  in line with IBM’s support policy, Infor will no longer support LX and related products on IBM i 7.3 after May 31, 2024.

All Infor LX releases, patches, and related solutions will be delivered and compiled at IBM i 7.4, effective June 1, 2024. 
These deliverables will install and function on version 7 release 4 (IBM i 7.4) and above (IBM announced in May 2023 the release of V7R5M0).
NOTE: This will require your operating system to be at a minimum release level of IBM i 7.4.

This policy extends to other Infor LX-related technologies including:

  • WebTop
  • System iWorkspace (SiW)
  • Infor Development Framework (IDF)


ACTION  STEPS

We recommend you start planning your upgrade to IBM i 7.4 (*or above) to allow ample time for testing and completion prior to June 1, 2024. It is strongly recommended that you keep current to avoid these extra fees.
*Special NOTE:  All versions of LX 8.3.4 and below will see an annual 20% Extended Maintenance Fee.

Please reach out to Crossroads RMC to assist you in this planning and execution process. We have assisted many other clients with both IBM OS and Infor ERPLX software upgrades.

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.
