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

Anthony Etzel 0 42436 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 58534 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.

Crossroads RMC is proud to enter their 21st year in partnership with Paccar for Baan data collection

Kathy Barthelt 0 72075 Article rating: 5.0

In 1998, Paccar, Inc. chose Crossroads RMC to be their data collection partner for Baan IV. 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.

Anthony Etzel 0 22179 Article rating: 5.0

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.

OTTO: How to get started? It’s easy!

Anthony Etzel 0 30269 Article rating: 5.0

The evaluation process for business operations improvements and related software is normally fairly long because it takes time to first understand the software and then to analyze how it will be used. However, how the software works won't truly be understood until it is actually functioning in either a live environment or a simulation of that environment using a reasonably complete test database. 

In order to overcome this challenge we use the following process:

  • Telephone meeting to discuss needs.
  • Webinar to determine common understanding.
  • Load data into OTTO for a live demo.
  • No-obligation trial of the software.

Your only obligation is to supply resources to evaluate OTTO's capabilities. This approach allows you to see exactly how OTTO operates in your specific environment and what benefits you can gain. Several of our customers have actually realized sufficient benefits during the trial-period to justify their purchase of OTTO. Best of all, this evaluation approach offers you extremely low cost and low risk with the potential for high payback in a short period of time.
