Re: mapics 6

Ahhh....R6!

Ensure you are going to PTF level 1544.  There are a bazillion
(yes, bazillion!) PTF's for MRP, MPSP, & PC&C that are required.

As many know, they changed the calendar mechanism,
and in my opinion did not test very well , or look for related impact!

I took a real hit going to R6 so 'prematurely', funny thing is
we weren't the first on the block as we did it back over
Christmas.

Best of luck.......

Kenny,

I'm currently consulting on a release 3 to release 6 upgrade.  We're in the
midst of the final testing phase at this time, all of their (few and
relatively simple) mods have been reincorporated and their add-ons patched
up to run.  So far we've encountered no problems with MAPICS itself, and
we're feeling guardedly optimistic about successfully going live in
mid-September.  It helps that this client heavily oversized their machine
at
their last hardware upgrade, makes those "fix something and retry" tasks
really go quickly.
