Re: BPCS Integration query

Dean suggested a couple good places to ask about this ... a 3rd option might 
be the e-400 group 
http://www.ignite400.org/

There are several 3rd party B2B options that it is my understanding are 
integrated with BPCS 4.5.
If you are unfamiliar with this reality, check out these URLs.

www.lansa.com

this is not a complete collection - other people in BPCS_L will probably tell 
you about some more such places - there are an awful lot of other places that 
advertise that their B2B talks to BPCS but I cannot figure out from their web 
sites if they are only for V6

If your client is not totally sold on the B2B which is apparently, judging 
from your post, not already integrated with BPCS 4.5, you might consider the 
less hassle approach of using Ironside or Lansa or one ot the other options 
from the above URLs.

If your client really wants the non-BPCS B2B, it might be simpler, although 
perhaps more expensive, to communicate from that B2B to a real BPCS B2B as 
opposd to the BPCS EDI approach that you suggested.

Warning: BPCS 4.5 EDI is not the same package as BPCS V6 EDI so you got 
upgrade path planning issues.
