Infor FMS M Series

The architecture of Infor FMS M Series is centered on the z/OS mainframe platform. The main system components include the General Ledger module, Accounts Payable module, Accounts Receivable module, and the reporting engine. These components communicate through internal mainframe processes, often using file transfers and batch jobs.

Data storage is handled using mainframe-compatible databases. The system does not expose REST or SOAP APIs; integration relies on native interfaces and file-based data exchange. Security is provided by the z/OS security system, which supports authentication via RACF and implements RBAC for access control.

The mainframe environment provides robust security features, including encryption and detailed audit logging. Administration is performed through the mainframe terminal interface, with commands used for user management, configuration, and monitoring. Key configuration parameters include settings for accounting periods, chart of accounts, and system-wide financial settings.

Unlike modern cloud-based solutions, Infor FMS M Series offers a different approach, leveraging the stability and established processes of the mainframe.
