RE: BPCS 4.05 to 2.00

[DeeDee Virgei <DeeDee.Virgei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow!.

We were on release 2 something for several years then went to 4.02 (skipped
3 because it had a bad rep.), then 405CD...   Although 2.00 was a stable
release -- and I liked the way billing was handled then - this is a huge
step backwards.  I imagine  a lot of customization was done to it at these
other plants (hence the reason for them not moving to BPCS 4.05).  From my
own experience, I don't think the code in 4.05 CD is that different from
release 2.  I  would try pushing harder for release 4.05 (CD?), heavy
customization and all, especially since SSA/GT is trying to make everything
else compatible w/ this release.  I believe moving back to 2.00 is moving
towards eliminating BPCS all together, i.e., support, up-to-date feature,
etc.

Due to a merger and internal politics, one of our divisions is being forced
to migrate from BPCS 4.05 to 2.00.

Would like some feedback/advice on such a move.

Thanks.
