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

How can I use an alternate item on a shop order?

The best way is to have the approved alternate item appear on the Bill of Material just after the standard item with a zero required quantity. Now the alternate item will appear on the Shop Order. So, if the standard item is not available, the alternate item can be issued to the shop order.

When the shop order is closed out, one item will have an unfavorable variance while the other shows a favorable variance. This is an easy way to provide alternate items provided engineering approves and they are part of the Bill of Material.
