You are not qualified for this assignment. The person to do this work needs
to be experienced in both BPCS and EDI.

I worked on EDI maybe 15+ years ago. It is a complicated unique application
like BOM and MRP and GLD. My company got EDI I out of ignorance with the
application and our customer vendor needs. We should have got EDI II.

If you had EDI II and it was up-to-date, there would be no need to implement
an EDI ANY record, because implementation comes with EDI II. If you have
EDI I, it is probably physically impossible to implement any added record
type in 2 weeks, let alone 2 months.

I am sure the technology has vastly matured since I last touched it.

I know 4.05 CD ... in our conversion to it in 1998, from an earlier version,
my company decided to drop EDI because the hassle with our customer vendor
needs not following any EDI standard, was more than we could stand.
Education in BPCS is far in excess of 15 hours.

Subject: [BPCS-L] EDI 866 record

Folks, for a complete noob in BPCS I have my work cut out for me. The
company that I am doing some "emergency consulting" with has a need to
implement an EDI 866 record in a couple of weeks (!) I have never done
EDI and have about 15 hours of BPCS knowledge under my belt. Doing a
bit of searching I found this in the archives:

http://archive.midrange.com/bpcs-l/200011/msg00115.html

Which seems to indicate that BPCS doesn't handle "sequencing". I am not
exactly sure what that means since as I understand the process, the
manufacturer will send an 866 to this company (supplier) and that will,
theoretically result in an order and eventually, a pick list that states
the sequence in which the items need to be packed (all done in BPCS).
So do I understand that BPCS doesn't have a place to enter a "sequence"
number in the order/pick list and therefore there wouldn't be a way to
signal the warehouse/shop floor that the order must be packed in a
certain sequence?

Has anyone implemented an 866 in BPCS 4.05 and could share a pointer or
two on how they accomplished it?
