Which seems to indicate that BPCS doesn't handle "sequencing". I am not
exactly sure what that means since as I understand the process, the
manufacturer will send an 866 to this company (supplier) and that will,
theoretically result in an order and eventually, a pick list that states
the sequence in which the items need to be packed (all done in BPCS). So
do I understand that BPCS doesn't have a place to enter a "sequence"
number in the order/pick list and therefore there wouldn't be a way to
signal the warehouse/shop floor that the order must be packed in a
certain sequence?

Pete, since no one has really answered your basic question and unfortunately, I may not either, but I'll try to point you in a direction that might be available.

I see a file on the system called EBP. This seems to fit the criteria for what you are looking for, unfortunately I don't think a 405CD system uses it. I don't find it referenced in the cross reference system.

You might be able to feed this file with the requisite data and then modify the Picking Ticket system to reference this file instead of the normal methid if the EBP contains data.
