check out

www.dssolutionsinc.com
BPCS Overview Reference Manual
This includes big picture of what is the function of all those fields & how
do they inter-relate

http://www.unbeatenpathintl.com/bpcsmanuals.html
the site may have been revised since I last book marked this ... you may have
to go to the home page & check out BELLS & WHISTLES then MORE ... the manuals
come with the classes they teach, but you can buy the manuals stand-alone ...
for example there is one for something like $135.00 for auditors that tips
them off as to common mistakes people can make in BPCS and gotchas the
auditors should especially look for ... UPI has many manuals for various
different focus
How the Costs work
The manufacturing side
Planning applications
etc.  great graphics for explaining how to run BPCS the way it was designed
to work.

This is IBM redbook on performance optimization for BPCS sites.
You might not consider IBM to be 3rd party

http://www.nexgeninfo.com/
They have a quarterly newsletter with BPCS tips
You can download back issues from their site

Several BPCS consultants have newsletters primarily aimed at their clients.

I assume you have already explored the BPCSDOC that came with your BPCS
implementation from SSA & can be accessed from the DOC menu, or PDM.

Also check BPCS_L archives on "documentation" since variations on this
question have come up before.
