Crossroads RMC and FIFCO to partner on an Infor LX / ION Project

Anthony Etzel 0 41994 Article rating: 5.0

A quote from the Applications and Development Manager at FIFCO…

"FIFCO has a long standing relationship with Crossroads RMC. Over the past 20 years, Crossroads has been committed to our success. We chose Crossroads to implement ION for the technical expertise and in-depth knowledge they have of ERPLX. I have found this to be true of all the consultants I have worked with over the years from Crossroads. I hope for FIFCO USA and Crossroads RMC to continue their partnership for many more years to come."

BPCS / LX Tip of the Week: Inventory Period Balance Freeze

Anthony Etzel 0 57990 Article rating: 5.0

This enhancement provides clients the ability to store the opening/ending on hand balance for each Inventory period at the Item (IIM), Warehouse/Item (IWI) and Lot/Location (ILI) levels. Infor LX clients can back date inventory transactions into the immediate previously closed period, and thus update what was saved as the opening/ending balance throughout the current open period. 

Tracking the opening/ending/period balance for each inventory period can give users insights into the levels of inventory for each item, item/warehouse and item/warehouse/lot/location combination.

That partnership has grown over the years and now incorporates almost 200 data collection licenses and 15 different Crossroads applications that run on mobile devices throughout Paccar’s facility. This year, Paccar has elected to extend the Crossroads Data Collection - Web Collect to some of their 3rd party contractors in order to support an increase in production. With the installation of the Crossroads Data Collection - Web Collect, the subcontractors will be able to complete sub-assembly activities and inventory transfers all within Paccar’s Baan system which the subcontractors will be accessing via a point to point solution built for them.

Did you know that when you move to LX 8.4, 100 series maintenance will be performed using the IDF maintenance programs, and the green screens go away? However, if you have the IDF integrator with 8.3.4 or 8.3.5, you have the ability to create business objects over your own data files along with creating maintenance programs. This would be a great way modernize any old green screen file maintenance that you currently have.
