RE: BPCS Documentation - the poster

["George Sagen" <gsagen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If someone can get me some form of it I can chart it out in Visio and e-mail
it back to the list. Most drafting departments with a plotter could print it
out. I could incrementally update it when new releases come out. I'm not
being generous since I could use it everywhere I go.

|
|
|I found it
|Official Title = BPCS Schematic
|
|Size 3 feet across 2 feet vertical
|Left to Right = Business Flow
|Top to Bottom = Setup & System Flow
|Solid Lines with arrows = Dependencies
|Dashed Lines = Automatic Interfaces
|
|Red Boxes = Master File Setup & Mainetnance - example - System Parameters
|must be setup before doing Currency Codes; Both Currency Codes & Chart Se
|Codes are prerequisites to a bunch of other files, such as Bank Master &
|Customer Terms.
|Dark Blue = On-Going Processing, such as various kinds of Orders, Labor,
|Inventory, Financials.
|Light Blue = Analysis, such as Rough Cut, Actual Costs, General Ledger
|
|There is no copyright or trademark symbol, date or version #, on
|either side
|of the poster.  From what is there, and not there, my guess is it
|is for no
|later than V 4.3 on BPCS/36.
|
|Ideas regarding salvaging copies for other BPCS customers to play with,
|before we lose it, assuming there is agreement as to the
|conceptual value of
|a picture replacing a thousand words ...
|
|Since it needs minor surgery to bring it forward to BPCS/400, forget about
|color reproduction - just play games with photocopies reduction scissors
|scotch tape to someone who will use this antique as a model for a
|replacement
|picture.
|
|Have it accompany me on some business trip & utilize big city resources to
|make a professional copy - I will be in IBM Kansas City real soon.
|
|Arrange a loaner, since we are not using it right now - let other
|BPCS user
|sites make whatever copies float your boat.
|
|Ultimately I think it belongs on a web site - with copies for each of the
|major BPCS/400 versions.
