Marc,

We put a trigger on POITEM that calls a program that loads all the data into
the COM offline load (we only put one item per PO on intergroup orders),
then calls offline load to update.  We created one table that
crossreferences vendor# to Customer/company#/warehouse for use in the
program.  We also automated the shipping of these orders with a user exit
during stock pick and the MAPICS offline shipping program.  After offline
shipping we populate the TRDATA file and do the RPs (or check if it is an
Inspect On Receipt item and do the appropriate trans) during the job stream.
We looked at ISL, but there is still much key entry for manifests, etc. and
the setup and upkeep of the ISL files.  (beside the $$ to purchase).

Alternately we use the same base program at night (to do the same process
but in batch (so orders with multiple lines all go to 1 COM order) since we
run SCM (Thruput) at night.

Subject: Automating Purchase Between Companies


   We are running Mapics 5.5 with two companies in one environment, =n fact
   we are migrating the second in at this time.  The two sister c=mpanies
   purchase product from each other by cutting PO's and having a cust=mer
   service person enter the order into each company.
    </DI=>
   To ensure proper accountability for the orders we would like to cont=nue
   having the POs and COs between companies.  The question is, is th=re any
   way to automate the transfer of POs to each company short of EDI?<B=>
