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

While it might be accurate (and I emphasize "might"), is a Manual Physical Inventory the optimal approach? Best practices unequivocally say otherwise!

A superior alternative is the adoption of Cycle Counting. Why choose Cycle Counting over a complete physical inventory? This method zeroes in on a selected stock range, allowing concurrent execution with a company's regular operations. Cycle Counts offers a streamlined approach to inventory management, minimizing disruptions to processes related to stock receipt, consumption, or dispatch.

The dreaded "freeze" is no longer a necessity, sparing your staff from extended holiday hours, and ensuring accurate inventory counts throughout the year! Crossroads RMC is poised to assist you in implementing Cycle Counting efficiently and effortlessly.
