RE: Automating BIL500

We are running an even earlier release of BPCS, so I'm not laughing.  However, 
we have automated much of our batch
processing with Robot including invoicing.  The only "clue" that I can think of 
(right now) to give you is that at the
beginning of each BPCS job, we call a program that sets up the LDA for use by 
BPCS.

Hi there, we are currently using v3.1.01 (don't laugh) and we are looking to 
automate the billing process via ROBOT.

Could anyone give me pointers or forward me the modifications to make the 
program run in 'batch' mode.

Thanks

Good day.......hazy, hot & humid.......

Here's a multiple choice quiz.

We are going to interface a warehouse management system
with BPCS 4.05CD.
We will pass Purchase Order Receipt data, Shop Order Receipt data, DRP Receipt 
data
to BPCS using a data que.

Would you:
  A. Try to use CIM520 ( never been used before here)
  B. Write a "batch" version of PUR550, DRP550
  C. Write a "batch" version on INV500
  D. Write a new pgm(s) that only has the code necessary
      (rather than the "extraneous " code in the above)
  E. buy & implement SAP  ( just kidding..)
  F. none of the above

Thanks,
Jim Barry

What are the fields on the FRT file and the FOD file that designate an oper=
ation as an outside operation, and what are the possible entries in these f=
ields that show an operation as either an inside or an outside operation?

I need this info for both 4.05 CD and for 6.x.

Thanks

Use CIM. That is what is was made for.  Just be sure to 'thoroughly' test the
process.

The good people at ROBOT have discussion forums, not as prolific as at
www.midrange.com, but specifically addressed at helping BPCS users
implement batch processing via ROBOT.

It is overcast here, we been storming.

Eons ago on a version of BPCS before 405 CD, before I knew as much as I do now.

I made a clone of INV500, that simulated the input of a particular
transaction effect, fed to the program from a work file that some other
program supplied.  Instead of the fields being populated by some human at a
keyboard, they were populated from the work file and the logic.  Damned
inefficient code, but it worked.  Hundreds of transactions went into BPCS
every day without a human being having to key them.  We were using it to
automate scrap reporting, something that comes with 405 CD and was not
available on the earlier version.

405 CD people can do this kind of thing because we have the source code,
not available at later versions of BPCS.

Jim,

We are uploading barcoding data consisting of mainly Shop Floor data, so I
would recommend option A.

We upload to the NVF file.
Call Cim505c - this splits labor and transaction data.
Submit Cim530c - process labor.
Submit Cim520c - translate NGT into NIN.
  Cim520C then submits Cim610c and Cim620c.

Modification were necessary to most every program, I don't think any would
be considered drastic.

Bill
