RE: BPCS CS V6.04 Problems

Ray,

I assume from your inquiry that you want to see if others are having similar
problems or you want to hear what other issues exist before you uncover
them. I recommend that you start with SSA's OGS Website. 6.04 has been out
for a while and there is a big chance that if you've found something,
someone else already discovered and reported it. A moderate percentage of
the time we find a problem, we can find it on OGS, identify the BMR that
fixed it, get helpline to put it on the FTP site, and get it patched within
48 hours.

Log onto OGS (http://ogs.ssax.com). You'll need your OGS ID and password. If
you don't have one log into the site and follow the link to the enrollment
form (http://www.ssax.com./support/ogssubscribe.html).

Select Clients ==> Product Support ==> Modification Requests (BMR's) and Net
Changes ==> Monitor the Status of a Modification Request

In the list box at the top of the screen select "BPCS Modification Requests"
In the "Versions Affected/Corrected" box input "6004"

This will give you a list of the numerous issues (bugs/enhancements)
reported and often fixed or that are in the process of being fixed. You can
narrow the search by filling in the other boxes. You'll NEED to narrow the
search. There is an art to using OGS well, but for the time it can save you,
it's well worth the practice.

Best Wishes.

.  We are on BPCS Client/Server V6.04, April 98 cum, September 98 BMR bundle
.  and have currently implemented CEA, SCM and Inventory. Since
.  going 'live' in
.  March 99 we have discovered a significant number of software defects (or
.  Bugs!). We understand that no software is 'bug' free but we
.  believe that we
.  have 'found' more than should be expected. I am very interested
.  in talking
.  to anyone who had similar experiences.
