RE: BPCS 6.02 Conversion

["Rick J. Carter" <rickcarter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was  not here during the conversion from Mapics to BPCS 6.0.02 but many of 
the problems we had with the system was due to the lack of review of the 
converted data from the Mapics system.  Also, make sure you have the 
logicals recommended for the BPCS system.  DBMON is a great tool to help 
review the suggested logicals needed for a particular job stream.

     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?
