Re: Forecasting

I have used the Mapics module and found it rather basic.  We are currently
using a package from Futurion call Futurecast.  It seems to be a more
robust package, but you have to write your own interface into MAPICS,
unless a third party has written the interface already.

We're looking into getting a forecasting package.  I would like to know
what
others are using in conjunction with MAPICS XA.  Are you using the MAPICS
forecasting module or a 3rd party forecasting package?  What have your
experiences been with either?

Thanks,

Robert Arnold
