Phil,

We use ECM in combination with some tailor made programs to solve a kind of
similar situation.

May be this may help in your sitiuation:
- Enter the US order (now your credit check is in place)
- Use ECM outbound order adapter to get the US order out of BPCS
- Use ECM to trigger a tailor made program to convert the US order into the
Canadian order
- Use ECM inbound order adapter to get the canadian order into the system

All the ECM steps can run automatically. You still have to set up your
customer twice.

KInd regards,

Peter Heeren
Thetford BV

All..

We currently have an implementation issue described as follows:

US based customers want to receive shipments from one of our Canadian based
warehouses.

Today, we enter an order against our Canadian subsidiary for the customer,
then bill our intercompany US  account for the shipment.  The invoice is
faxed from Canadian customer service to US customer service, then the order
is re-entered in the US as a miscellaneous bill so that the customer gets a
US $ invoice.

(Both companies are setup in the same instance of BPCS, on the same
processor...)

This causes a couple of problems..  1)  No credit check against the US
credit limits for the customer until after shipment,   2) The customer has
to be setup twice  3) The order has to be entered twice.

This seems to me to be a bad process!
I was wondering what others on the list do that are in a similar situation.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
