RE: Required Cost on Orders

["Ian Bunn" <Ian.Bunn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

We're on 3.1.01.

We have done this kind change for ORD500.

Due to the fact that this program hits the maximum number of files for an RPG 
program, we had to use a call to an external program and so that is a simple 
bit of code - pass parameters of item and flag, check for cost, return error or 
okay.  

We inserted the call just after the check for sufficient stock (execution of 
subroutine S096 and where the message UMR0047 gets issued).  

As for PUR500, as this is an AS/SET program you will need to change the 'Post 
Enter' validation routine to check for a price.

Regards,

Ian

BPCS 4.05CD

I've been presented with an absolute requirement by my general manager.  NO
order entry unless an item has a standard cost.  We generate a few new item
numbers every day and customer service is under the gun to get orders
entered, production control has to get shop orders going, etc.....

I can do SFC500 with no problem.  ORD500 and PUR500 are separate issues.
Does anybody have any code in place or good ideas?

Thanks in advance

Sorry about my delayed response (see below); we were having trouble w/ our
email server yesterday, so I will attempt to send it again.  I also
apologize a head of time if you receive it more than once...

Quick question for Srikanth.  Do you need to make your chose in the next few
days? Or do you only have a few days to map this whole project out?

Welcome!
FYI, we are thinking about applying your option 1 or 2 to  consolidate apps.
w/ a company we own overseas; they are currently on BRAIN (another ERP
solution).
1.      We would use LPAR running BPCS under one partition and BRAIN under
another; cutting our AS/400 cost in half (by leasing and maintaining one,
instead of two, AS/400)
2.      Bringing them on board w/ BPCS under a separate Facility and
Company; this would eliminate cost associated w/ BRAIN along w/ cutting the
AS/400 cost in half.  Also, this would give us better visibility to each
others data (we already have BPCS setup in German).  However, needless to
say,  this w/b an extremely large project...

We really haven't considered option 3; granted cost may be saved on
hardware, but I've been told-by SSA-that the windows version of BPCS is for
Clients w/ a very small user base (I believe around 12, although this may
have changed).  Unix may not be a bad choice, but around 90 percent of BPCS
users run off the AS/400.
I believe we were on 4.0.05 before we went to 4.05CD; it wasn't that drastic
of an upgrade; however, if you're going to go thru the hassle of an upgrade
(apply customized code and all), you might as well upgrade to the latest
stable release (or at least research this option)...

Dear All,
Greetings. I am basically newbie to BPCS and AS/400
environment. I need to find out a place where I can
understand the architecture of BPCS on AS/400. Would
you be able to suggest a best web site or a book that
is good for a starter like me.

I also have a requirement given by my manager where I
need to plan for system consolidation in the next few
days. We have 3 different BPCS environment with
versions 3.7, 4.0.0.5 and 4.5CD running on AS/400
platform at 3 different locations. I have been asked
to look into the following consolidation options:
1.      Consolidate 3 BPCS instances running in 3 boxes into one single box
running AS/400 but still BPCS running as 3 separate versions.
2.      Consolidate 3 different versions of BPCS instances in to 1 single
version BPCS instance based on the highest versions available in the
location.
3.      Migrate all 3 instances from AS/400 to Unix/Windows
platforms.
I would appreciate if you can share with me on your
professional expertise on the above options in terms
of costs vs benefits vs risks.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Srikanth
