Re: New company in BPCS

Even though two environments, I suggest you plan for the future possibility
of merger of the two divisions, and low risk of people confusing reports, by
having a different set of or range of values for company, profit center
prefix, facility, warehouse, etc. so anyone looking at any report knows
which division it is, just from the #s that can be different, then later if
any manager needs a consolidated report, you can have data from 2 divisions
on same report, without the data getting jumbled or confused.

When they say combined financials ... you might ask about payables,
receivables, costs ... how are financials defined.

Al,

You're 3 for 3 with me. Everytime I ask a question, you tell me RTFM (as is
appropriate).

Found the doc, and it covers pretty much everything that I need.

The only thing that they seem to want combined (in the end) is the
financials. As for the Chart of Accounts, that is one of the very few
things that will be copied over.

Thank you!

Bill

Do you have file BPCSDOC in your library list? It should have step by

instructions on setting up new environment or new company.

If management wants total separation, that says to me new environment, not
new company, or new facility.

However, I have known management that wanted this at first, then later
wanted consolidated reports that had information from the two combined.

Depending on what the place being bought out is using, there's also topic
of
converting their now ERP files to BPCS.

Hi All,

Currently running 8.2, and the company is looking to buy a new
division/company/whatever. And they will be going onto BPCS.

Management has decided that they want total seperation of the two
companies. To me, that says Library Lists. No big deal. But we're
heavily
modified, so I'm going thru things now (and pretty new to BPCS as well).

So what is the best way to create a new set of libraries? I can put them
out & clear the files, but that's going to cause grief with security,
menus,
etc. Is there a "Clear application data" type of command, or something
similar?

Thanks in advance,

Bill
