Optimize with Infor Development Framework: IDF

Infor LX | BPCS | M3

Why You Need IDF

The Infor Development Framework (IDF) not only helps you modernize the look and feel of your LX software but also the interactions of the IBM i software with other applications in your business.

“The IDF is a multi-user interface, single codebase architecture that’s metadata-driven (and) provides a lot of flexibility to adapt the software for their processes.” says Infor. This is the direction that Infor is going starting with LX 8.3.4 covering inquiries that can replace green screen 300 series inquiries. Newer versions of LX 8.4 and above introduces master file maintenance programs with the IDF and there are no longer green screen master file maintenance programs. 

It’s a Win-Win!  - So why aren't you taking advantage of the IDF? 

  • Not installed?
  • It's installed, just not using it?
  • Not licensed?
  • Don't know how to use it?

To get you started, Crossroads RMC specializes in:

  • Installation
  • User set-up
  • Security authorization
  • Basic and advanced training
  • User navigation by replacing multiple green screen sessions
  • Creating business objects and views

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Understanding:

The Machine Master File

Do your machines have a fixed asset tag? The machine master file has a field called Fixed Asset.

BPCS does not use this field, so you can use this field for anything. You can record your fixed asset tag in this field and use the effective date. You can create a custom fixed asset list by using a DFU or Query program.

Understanding:

The Machine Master File


Machines are associated with a work center. For example, in the work center you may have multiple machines and each machine can have a unique machine ID. If there are several machines that perform the same function, they may operate at different speeds and efficiencies. Setting up the machine master can be a benefit for planning capacity and shop order throughput.
