Re: IIM fields

Hello Martin,

When we need to add fields to a BPCS file, we create an extension file.
In our case this was IIMX. The key is the same as the IIM, and we added
a call to INV100 to maintain the extension record. Although this is more
work to set up than just reusing fields, we have found that this method
avoids the problems that come from reusing BPCS fields.

Subject: [BPCS-L] IIM fields

Dear members,



we are on ERP-LX (8.3) and also in some subsidiaries still on 6.04 and
we
need to use 5 fields from the IIM, but we need to establish if they are
referenced elsewhere in BPCS or just the IIM.



IMMFGR

IMPRM

IMABRV

IMBRGC

IPACK



We need to store some data which is needed for the internal use in our
company and maybe someone can help me to figure out where they are
maintained. It is planned to maintain these fields in an add on program
but
we also have to make sure that we can train the users not to change
these
fields within the standard BPCS screens.





Any help is very, very welcome.



Thanks in advance

Thomas
