Re: EPDM implementation / other application questions

Eric, I have been involved in a couple of EPDM impl. from a programming
side. Any program that touched the Routng, PSTRUC, WRKCTR needs to be
changed to the new epdm files. Not a slam dunk. Depending on what the
prgrams are doing can get a bit complicated..As for Itemasa,B & C those are
still intact for now.. rumor is they are going away. But to keep them in
sync you need to do a release to pdm when you do a create/copy/change.
There is a ptf download to get a couple of the old PDM green screen
inquiries. I don't have it with me right now.. Should be able to find on
mapics site search. (indented bill, costed bill, single level bill)
AM+ is ONLY INQUIRY.
I must have missed that anouncement also about security for G/L, AP& AR.
Unless there is something in the last PCM. That I did not notice..So as far
as I am aware Security is not that detailed...

hope this is a start  for you..
