RE: Migrating from 6.04 to 6.1

["Rob" <stagis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's probably not a problem for anyone else - I think we were the last
people in the known universe to be running the S/36 BPCS.  But when we were
completed with hte conversion, the facility was missing on several
files.....I'm trying to remember which ones.  In any case, if you're running
a version of BPCS that contains a facility, you're probably safe.  Nobody
else seems to have had the same issue.

It was  the routings (FRT), bills of material (MBM), the item master (IIM)
and warehouse/location files (IWI and ILI).  Good luck.

We are almost ready to go live on 6.1 on an HP N4000 box. Can you tell me
which table(s) is/are missing the facility code?
