RE: Shortage / Due Reporting

Chuck,

Using Jacana/Valet for reporting permits connecting/accessing any data on
your AS/400.  You will probably need to create a subset that links from your
manufacturing order components to the purchase orders for the items.  This
is usually a simple procedure where you define the how the files are linked
to provide the information you want.

If you are interested, please contact me off list with the details of your
existing shortage reports and how you want the purchase orders included.
>From there we should be able to define your requirements and produce the
report you need.

Regards,
-Greg

Subject: Shortage / Due Reporting


To all, 

I'm looking to create a single report that will combine manufacturing order
shortage information with purchasing information.

We currently accomplish this manually using Microsoft Word. It's a good
report but with many issues such as time, accuracy, and timeliness.

All information used to create this report comes from Mapics. So why not let
the system do all of the work, right?

The "Manufacture Order Shortage Report --- Follow-Up Analysis ---" is used
to show what each manufacturing order is short. We use the purchase orders
to know when items are due.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? We use Jacana/Valet for report writing.


Thank you,
