In IDF Customers, the default order class for the warehouse customer should be a user-defined order class (base order class = 004). Do not use base order class 002 or 005, to allow for automatic invoicing of warehouse orders (if a separate manual Ship Confirm event is required per the order class, auto invoicing cannot occur from Pick Confirm).

Given the environment today with growing global competition in terms of innovation, cost and time to market (given by short product cycles) as well as with increasing regulatory demands, the answer to the question “Can you afford not to invest in MES?” is turning into a clear “NO”.

Crossroads MES is Infor’s global solution for manufacturing execution and is perfectly suited to fill the gap between your manufacturing initiatives and your ERP system.

Trinity Industries is live on LX 8.3.5! This project was truly a team effort working in partnership with HCL America. Crossroads RMC's involvement included John Kasper (Finance), David Campbell and Nick Olson (Operations), Jacob Hale (Supply Chain Management), and Tony Curtis (LX Administration). 

Trinity began providing industrial products and services to customers more than 85 years ago. They started as a small butane-tank manufacturer and evolved over time into a premier diversified industrial company with market-leading businesses serving the energy, chemical, agriculture, transportation, and construction sectors.

In addition to assigning lot numbers in Shop Order Entry/Maintenance (SFC500) after the shop orders have been released, users can now pre-assign lot numbers during the Multi-level Shop Order Release process (SFC530) and the Multi-Level Backflush process (LMP600) for sub-assemblies that are lot controlled items. The user has the choice of using the parent lot ID, the next sequential generated lot ID, or not pre-assigning lot IDs. Multiple items per lot must be installed to use the parent lot number option.

In support of Flexfab Horizons International’s expanded use of Crossroads RMC’s Data Collection Solution in their Dongguan, China location, Crossroads has released a new version of their middleware that supports Mandarin. The China implementation is expected to be completed by mid 2019.

Infor recently announced their support schedule for all versions of Infor LN & Baan.

Customers who use the Projected Shipments concept, and with that the Shipment Planning Workbench, require more flexibility in modifying outbound order lines before projected shipments are generated. The most important requirement is the option to change item quantities, which is a typical instrument to react on specific circumstances such as truck size and inventory situation. A Shipment Planning tab has been added to the Outbound Order Lines to enable users to perform shipment planning activities in terms of quantities and dates.
