Re: Converting the BOM into BPCS

You might find of interest this post to e-com-sec discussion group.

Basically a public utility was implementing a new billing system and doing various tests to make sure the results were what they expected from data in the old billing system. Turns out, there were serious problems in the old billing system that none of the auditors, internal or external, had been aware of, that good testing of the new system exposed. The moral lesson here is not to assume that the old system is correct, and that any problems in testing the new system means that the new system not working right yet.
In fact, if there is some risk that our existing systems have some problem that won't be discovered until we are testing new software, perhaps we should be doing a better job with other kinds of periodic auditing of assumptions about our data. 


Hello all,

We are planning conversions from 2 other ERP packages (Syspro and
AdHoc-Revolution (italian)) into our BPCS Database.

One of the conversion is the BOM (MBM).
The item master (IIM)  contains a field with the lowest level of the item
in a BOM(INSEQ-Last BOM) .
This field is important for MRP/MPS runs.

Does anyone of you have experience with a BOM Conversion and how I can
reset the specific field in the item master.

Other files we are going to convert:
- item master
- vendor master
- customer master
- item-x-reference
- costing
- sales prices
- stock levels
- open receivables
- open payables

Kind regards,

Peter Heeren
