RE: BPCS 6.02 Conversion

["George Sagen" <gsagen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Often in your master files there are groups of records which share similar
settings in many of the fields. Step through a sample of records in each
table that you feel represent the various classifications of records you
would find in each of those tables. For example if you have some domestic
customers and some international choose a few of each. In your Item Master,
items in certain part # series or with the same item class often have
similar characteristics. If you have a problem with a certain field in one
record, chances are you'll have the same problem in other similar records.

If you are doing a Conference Room Pilot, make sure you do it on converted
data and those issues often surface quickly.

Best wishes,

|       We are now (finally) about to go live with BPCS 6.02.  Many of our
|files are being converted mechanically (Customer Master, Vendor
|Master, Open
|Customer Orders, Purchase Orders, etc.). We're converting from customized
|MAPICS and JDEdwards.
|
|       Part of the advice we have received consistently from every SSA
|Consultant we've seen is to "Step-Through" all the files mechanically
|converted, so that we can be sure the fields that BPCS populates in its
|normal operations are populated. This seems pretty extreme - and will take
|lots of time - especially the open orders.
|
|       Those of you who have converted - what did you do? And what do you
|recommend?
