Re: Replacing Mapics IFM


Caution - last one.

Iain, be sure you have all of the interfaces you'll need defined in detail, i.e does the PO update from invoicing, qty, dollars. Does a CA get cut to IMHIST for receiving and AP invoicing to post, validate PPV entries ?
What about MO out side Ops would the MO routing get updated. Is all the activity updated and available in browser view of POs, MOs, Cos ? How does the Mfg var get posted, verified, etc, etc, etc...Not to mention all of the Inv transactions.

My dog is not in this fight.... but let the buyer be ware......see it demo-ed to your satisfaction. Think it through, Have a script and knowledge of how, where and when you'd expect updates back/forth to the Mapics data base.

Good luck,

Over, out
