What is preventing you from upgrading your Infor LX or BPCS ERP System?


Your answer to this question is likely customizations… customizations that were once the best thing since sliced bread but now have become the bane of your existence.

There is something you can do about it! 

Crossroads RMC has many options for LX & BPCS dealing with customizations: 

  • Customizations can be written using Exit Points or the User Extension File so that custom functionality can be achieved without modifying the core of the LX application.
  • Analytics Dashboard allows for an endless variation of Infor LX or BPCS views to be created all without touching your ERP system
  • Using ION / Infor OS, customizations can be re-written to call standard Infor LX functions via APIs, libraries, and BOD messages.
  • IDF can be used to create your own custom-designed report output and display of data.
  • New functionality in the latest version of the ERP software may allow you to eliminate many of your customizations. 

It all starts with an assessment of your custom components. This is something that can be done internally by you, or with the assistance of Crossroads RMC consultants.

Why continue to live with the elephant in the room who insists on blocking the doorway to progress? Start the process today to get rid of the customizations that are preventing you from taking your ERP system to the next level. Contact us today to learn more: 800.762.2077, solutions@crossroadsrmc.com, or request a phone consultation.

Tips: LN | Baan

In Baan IV, the order balance amount always includes the tax amount. Consequently, the tax amount must be recalculated every time an order line is modified in order to update the balance correctly. If the tax provider is activated, this requires an API call for every re-calculation of tax.

In Infor LN, users can select or clear the new Include Tax in Order Balance check box in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session to indicate whether users want to include tax amounts in the order balance amount. This parameter has an effect on various sessions in Order Management.

Pros
Each legal entity can have its own general ledger and balance sheet.
Income statements can be generated for the different logistics companies.
Accounting user must go in and out of companies if there is a need to view or create transactions in more than one company.  However, if all companies are tied to the same financial group company, centralized payments, cash receipt application, and display and printing of ledger transactions and trial balances are possible for both companies from within the financial group company.
