   Alternative approach.  Many different vendors supply some extremely useful
   manuals on BPCS. 

   The one that would be most useful for what I think you are looking for
   is.The Overview Reference Manual for BPCS <
   http://www.dssolutionsinc.com/OverviewManual.asp> from DS Solutions which
   explains, among other things, the function of every single field of every
   single file of BPCS.

   However, it is not enough to understand BPCS out of the box, it is also
   important to understand its shortcomings particularly in the area of
   computer security and other areas that can be repaired, if you only knew
   about them.  So perhaps it is worth you getting the BPCS Auditor's
   Handbook from Unbeaten Path International http://www.unbeatenpathintl.com/

   In any ERP there will be areas where the users make assumptions about how
   things work, that are in fact wrong, leading to a variety of human error,
   bad data, risks of breach (both insider crime and the kind that gets all
   the news media attention).  The BPCS Auditor's Handbook can guide people,
   who may not be familiar with BPCS, into understanding the depth and
   breadth of BPCS Gotchas. http://www.unbeatenpathintl.com/8toc/source/1.htm

   My employer now gets our tech support from UPI, but I do not get any $
   compensation from telling you about what I think is the most relevant
   documentation for your needs.  I have links to additional BPCS resources
   at
   http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/stories/2002/11/08/bpcsDocSources.html

       Does anyone use the BPCS menu XREF?  I am wondering if it is reliable,
     also is there a way to control what libraries it looks at?  I am new to
     BPCS.  In my past experience I have used tools like Hawkeye Pathfinder. 
     I am wondering if we need to purchase a cross referencing tool or will
     menu XREF show me what programs certain files used and etc.  Also is
     there somewhere I can find some documentation on BPCS XREF.
       
       Thanks in advance
