RE: CIM & 6.1

["Richards, Mark" <richarma@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark:
Key reasons:
* 6.1 stability
* Drop order entry gui and go with the green screen
* 8.2 is too big of a change (files, etc...) for us at this time
* We have a number of companies we have acquired in the past couple years,
all of which eventually will be on one system, so this will be more than
converting existing BPCS user community to a new version

Mark,

I'm curious as to why you are selecting 6.1.2 as your upgrade path!  We
are also on 6.02 however my preferred option is to go current (at this
time).  Any reason in particular you are selecting 6.1?  Easier path?

Thanks,

We are 6.0.2MM converting to 6.1.2 later this fall.  We purchased CIM in
the
past but did not use it.  We are looking at using it on 6.1 for a
requirement to inbound shipments and adjustments.  I have compiled CIM
objects, etc.

 

At one point a few weeks ago, we had an issue in 6.0.2 where the system
wanted to print bar codes on the shop packets (our 6.0.2 test
environment is
no longer available).  The flag in SSASYS data area was the culprit.  I
planned on reviewing and addressing this issue in 6.1.2.  However, while
testing in our 6.1.2 environment I can not duplicate the original error.
Does anyone know why this error may not be occurring in 6.1?

 

No SMG comments please ... with a price tag of 50K and a different
strategy
from SSA (Enterprise Integrators) on 8.2 this is not a viable option.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Mark Richards
