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 ERP LX, this function is called Backward Scheduling. This is a simple, easy way to create and release shop orders associated with the end item.

The result is a shop calendar with the associated order start dates. Setting up ERP LX properly with correct Queue Times, Setup and Run Times, along with Move Times, will result in accurate shop order start dates.

Establishing the Quantity On-Hand and the Quantity Available.

LX maintains buckets for information associated with the following inventory transactions for each item:

  • Opening Balance
  • Issues
  • Receipts
  • Adjustments
  • Allocations for the Customer
  • Allocations for Manufacturing


The on hand quantity does not include any allocations. To arrive at the on hand quantity, start with the opening balance, less any issues, plus any receipts, then add or subtract any adjustments. Available inventory is the on-hand less any allocations.
