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

For either file, you must specify a valid location code as defined in the Location Master File.

If the machine master locations are blank, then the work center locations are used. There are cases where you may want to do a combination between the two in defining the locations.

Let’s say the end item has one operation. The operation is at work center 510 and Machine A is in the work center. You have locations setup in both the Work center file and the Machine master File. You report 100 complete at the work center without specifying the machine.

In this case, the inventory will be processed based on the locations defined in the work center file. If the transaction included the machine number, then the locations in the machine file would be used.

In the Item Master File, the requirements code is used to specify the type of demand for the item. Planned order requirements are determined from the type of demand. If the requirements code is left blank, the planning systems treat the item as a sum code (3).
 

Other options for the field are:


1 = Dependent demand that is indirectly generated from the parent item requirements.

2 = Independent demand generated from customer orders and forecasts.

3 = The Sum of both independent and dependent demand.
