If you run multi-company in one XA environment you can separate items by
site (company) but on the flip side if you share items between sites
(same item number) then you have to maintain two revisions because some
modules will look at the item master records and some look at the
revision.
There are some quirks to EPDM though, you can have the same item number
in multiple sites but there will only be one itemasa/b/c record based on
the revision that was last released to PDM... so if you have the same
item number in two sites they had better be the same _exact_ product.
Plus some of the integration wasn't very tight for a long time like
having to enter a unit of measure in COM instead of having it blow in
automatically.
In short if you have more than one company in a single XA environment it
may make sense.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] EPDM advantages ?
Good morning all.
We are in the process of revisiting our implementation project of EPDM.
Currently we are running pdm + on 7.7 with plans of going to 7.8 this
summer.
We have two production locations, one state side and one in Mex.
So the big question I get is: What will EPDM do for us that PDM isn't?
Thanks
