Our process seems to be similar but we are automating it. When complete, we
will use an electronic form that travels through an automated workflow
process through various parts of the organization (using Domino on the
iSeries). Once all required information has been entered, a person in the
materials area will review all data entered for validity and "push the
button" to add the item to the BPCS item master. We use a process for 21 CFR
part 11 that requires the user to enter their password again at the time
they click the "approve" or "submit" buttons during the workflow. We have a
number of similar workflow processes already in production that work very
well.

Best regards,

Tom Rainey

Dear Colleague
we have used BPCS since 1994, and this has requested the creation of a
specific company-wide function "ITEM MASTER", as you already did. This is
particularly necessary if your company works in a "regulated" environment
(such as the Pharmaceautical). It is impossible to divide responsibilities
on Items, BOMs,...

Probably, using the new E-Signature & E-Security modules you could manage
otherwise.

Good Day
Although we are on Release 4.05 CD, the question is a generic MRP II
question:
Which department(s) has ownership over the Item Master File ? With BPCS,
many different departments have a vested interest in the accuracy of
specific fields. How does YOUR organization handle who does the actual
Maintenance of the Item Master, Bills of Material, Routings, ...... We
circulate a " Form " to various departments so that they manually write down
the values of "their" fields. Eventually, the form gets to the desk of one
person who actually keys the data into BPCS. "Sometimes" this takes longer
than we wish !!

Thanks,
Jim Barry
