BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Batch Allocation

Thinking of moving from your old BPCS Version to LX?

There are numerous reasons to consider moving to Infor LX. It is a proven migration and it is easy to get there. 

An area of interest may be allocations. Allocations can be difficult to manage, but with Infor LX, there is a new selection of ranges for Batch Allocations:

    • Sold To Customer
    • Ship To Number
    • Order Class
    • Order Number
    • Item Number
    • Request Date
    • Schedule Date

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.
